I think it depends. It is more about pushing the desired information to the desired profiles.

Any narrative can be useful to push as long as it is the right type of person to be pushing it to.

I believe why so many Billie's have gone mask off is because they have had such tremendous success with the granular controls algorithms provide for propaganda, radicalisation and disinformation.

The NSA is using AWS?

I doubt the story of the bots disappearing, but Yandex a) has specifically given control to Russian government, by providing a super-share that doesn't pay dividends but gives the deciding vote, to Sberbank (this kind of share shenanigans are possible under Netherlands' law, where Yandex is incorporated for this very reason); and b) does provide cloud-hosting services the same way as Amazon does. Yandex is generally considered to basically be a government corporation by now, it's one of like three candidates whenever the government decides to introduce some ‘sovereign’ service like Russian analogue of YouTube.

Arkady Volozh, the surviving cofounder of Yandex, has left Russia over disagreements about the war and the government's control, taking for himself some side business that Yandex was doing abroad, either drones or self-driving cars or something like that. And relocated some 1000 Yandex employees that decided to leave with him.

Everyone here is a home grown moron. We're all just one schizophrenic meth head typing into a word doc.
