Prof. Olga Belogolova, director of emerging technologies at Johns Hopkins SAIS and former Meta policy lead on influence operations, posts on LinkedIn that people saw "what they wanted to see" in the Cloudflare data. She distinguishes bots from trolls and notes that Russian influence operations typically don't host infrastructure on Yandex. She cautions that the strikes are "not exactly a precise tool for stopping foreign influence operations."
