So this one datacenter in Russia got bombed by Ukraine and caused a Yandex outage. And I have seen people posting data-backed analyses showing this has resulted in a drop in net traffic from certain scraper bot networks; and I've seen people making *jokes* that this will show up in drops of coordinated inauthentic activity on websites such as "X" [Twitter]. But I haven't seen any attempts to analyze with hard data whether social media activity changed during this particular data center outage.
