Overseas operation likely culprit behind AI bot network targeting Reynolds and Higgins defamation trial ( www.abc.net.au )

A clumsily crafted bot network posting about the Linda Reynolds and Brittany Higgins defamation trial likely originated from foreign influencers wielding culturally divisive topics to sow discord

This can't be true; Lonnie said solving the bot problem would be issue number one and since then there have been no bots anywhere. /s

Headline changed from original source:

"Overseas operation likely culprit behind AI bot network targeting Reynolds and Higgins defamation trial"

is how it reads now. They may have changed it on you. I'll give you time to make it match before just removing it.

Sure, edited.

They didn’t change the headline; I had just felt like the subtitle made for a much more coherent headline on Lemmy. But if you prefer, I’m happy to put the site’s headline as the headline (and put the subtitle in the body text instead).

Generally that's the way I roll it, OG headline in the top box, subhead in the bottom.

For reasons which I don’t really understand, news articles will pretty frequently have the official headline be this vague or incoherent thing that doesn’t communicate all that clearly what is contained within the article, but then somewhere above the fold if you click will be a collection of words which much more accurately describes the content. When that happens I usually title it with the more coherent set of words instead of the headline (as with this story).
