To be fair, there is a substantial amount of Nazi-adjacent posters who hate Israel solely due to antisemitism (rebuking Jews instead of the government’s actions in Palestine)

i think we'd be lying to ourselves if we didnt think that there was a fair amount of groyper-bots and hitlerite bots online. i block those accounts on twitter when i see them and a significant amount of the time theyre accounts created in the last 3-6 months. its most certainly not real people.

I guess the article suggests that maybe it could have taken out search engines who picked up on antisemitism. Thus search engine indexers would have seen a lower amount of traffic but no bots actually got removed
