Argentina digital strategy exposed by bot farm error
Digital operations linked to the Argentine government and right-wing media have faced scrutiny following technical errors and legal developments. In Argentina, Santiago Oría, a digital strategist for President Javier Milei, was exposed after a misconfigured bot farm posted automated responses on X. The error included visible technical tags such as 'Reply1:' and 'Reply7:', revealing that the comments were pre-written rather than organic human interactions.
Separately, political operator Fernando Cerimedo was arrested in Bolivia on charges of attempting to murder his former partner, Nadia Beller. Cerimedo's arrest has highlighted his role in operating bot farms used to inflate traffic for 'La Derecha Diario', a media outlet co-founded with Javier Negre that serves as a platform for right-wing interests in the region.
