Platforms knowingly host coordinated bot/disinfo networks; users can't see it

Pain point

"If everyone was fully aware of where this garbage was originating... why did it take Ukraine lobbing a drone into it to stop it?" — platforms won't act, and ordinary users have no way to tell a bot from a person.

Signal

Very strong. 85K-upvote post; 2,675 and 1,091 on the two top comments. Independent corroboration of distrust-in-platforms seen in posts 2, 6, and 8.

Opportunity

(a) Consumer browser extension scoring account authenticity/coordination inline on X/Reddit/Facebook, freemium. (b) Higher-margin: a coordinated-inauthentic-behavior feed sold to newsrooms, brand-safety teams, and election bodies. Feasibility: extension is quick; credible network-detection data is hard and is the real moat/cost.

Evidence

• Russian bot traffic collapse
