      I think a social media ban is good for this very reason.

      I keep getting pushed a load of anti-English stuff from irish and scottish nationalists in TikTok. Even stuff from MAGA bots

      Of course they are, because the Iranians disruption propaganda aligns perfectly with what the SNP wants.

      In any sane world the SNP would be viewed the same way that nationalist fascist parties are.

      Why are Labour silent on the thousands of bots Labour paid to boost engagement on Anas Starmer’s social media accounts?

      I’m definitely no fan of the SNP or a supporter of Scottish Independence but I think this whole argument is BS.

      People and organisations are not responsible for who supports them. Hostile overseas actors will often support any „disruptive“ cause (or even both sides of an issue) – that doesn’t mean the cause is wrong. Expecting the SNP or any political party to effectively police party members (so random people who signed up, not MPs etc) sharing stuff from dodgy accounts on social media is also unrealistic. (Can you imagine applying that to all members of all parties?)

      Disinfo is a wider issue but I don’t think dropping this on the SNP is reasonable.

      Edit: Wow, this made it up to my most „controversial“ comment in no time! Without anyone even caring to argue any points!

      Wait… the people pushing pro migration and increasing tensions in the UK are foreign agents??

      But I was told it was Russias convincing me mass migration was bad, because… well no one ever explained to me why they’re trying to do that.

      Separatists like the SNP and Brexiters are quite fond of hostile foreign actors backing their cause.

      I’m curious why it is just Scottish nationalism they’re supporting and not the other disruptive parties. Maybe the axis of evil has divided us up into zones of influence. Or maybe it’s a bunch of Iranian redditors having a laugh.

      scotnats have been totally fine with trying to get help from foreign dictators since 1939

      Everybody is silent on social media bots meddling across the West, regardless of party affiliation.

      Bots are *predominantly* used to bolster nationalist (Reform, SNP etc) rhetoric because that’s the most disruptive.

      Supporters of those parties won’t counter, because it serves them.

      When opponents dare to they are accused of stifling free speech.

      We need a stop to all of these. Reform are the absolute worst for bot activity.

      Why would Iran want to meddle in Scottish politics? (Genuine question)
