Bots are everywhere - there is a sudden burst of Twitter accounts lamenting the shame of the UK giving up its control over the Chagos Islands. Some accounts like "Friends of British Overseas Territories" are genuine accounts but spread the myth that Chagossians don't want this and feel betrayed when actually they have campaigned for decades for the UK to give them their land back. However there are also so many accounts that only joined last month that are suddenly obsessed with the Chagos Islands. The Dead Internet hypothesis is alive and well.
