How to identify and respond to bot accounts

If you see a suspicious account posting on X, follow these steps:

  • Avoid engaging – do not like, comment, or share posts from the account.

  • Unfollow – check the account’s followers and unfollow any bots or related accounts.

  • Ignore – do not give the bot additional reach by interacting.

  • Report violations – if the account breaches X’s guidelines, report it.

Why this matters

Bots are designed to manipulate conversations. Ignoring them helps maintain authentic discussions and prevents misinformation from spreading.
