In Lithuania, the manipulation of public discourse is increasingly influenced by coordinated efforts from bot farms aimed at stirring emotions rather than engaging in rational debate. According to D. Povilaitis, the focus of these operations is on creating feelings of fear, anger, and injustice, which ultimately leads to public distrust in one another rather than the promotion of specific truths. This strategy benefits hostile actors who seek to destabilize civic engagement through emotional provocation.

Recent events have highlighted the challenges faced by content creators who encounter blocking and restrictions due to coordinated attacks. D. Povilaitis notes that these actions are backed by specific technical solutions that exploit gaps in platform algorithms. When a significant number of bot accounts report a user's activity as inauthentic, it triggers automated algorithms that can lead to account suspensions even before a human moderator reviews the case. This automated response poses a serious threat to freedom of expression and the ability for individuals to engage in open discussion.

The implications of such bot activity raise concerns about the integrity of public discourse and civic engagement in Lithuania. It underscores the need for greater awareness of the tactics being employed by malicious actors and the importance of developing more robust systems for identifying and mitigating the impact of automated manipulations in social media environments. As society grapples with these tactics, the question remains as to how to safeguard genuine discourse from the chaotic interference of orchestrated online operations.
