💨 Abstract

A conspiracy claiming Taylor Swift was an alt-right neo-nazi Trump supporter was orchestrated using thousands of bots, according to Rolling Stone. The bots spread misinformation about Swift's political stance and personal life, leading to intense online debates. Fans defending Swift inadvertently amplified the false narratives, as bots generated fake engagement to make the conspiracy appear trending. Experts warn that engaging with such misinformation only fuels its spread, and it's better to avoid giving it attention.
