A cybersecurity firm found that bots were promoting GameStop stock on social media before and after the stock’s frenzied rise last month

Piiq media says social media bots promoted Dogecoin, GameStop, and other’- meme’ stocks in posts on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube. The firm estimated that tens of thousands of bots participated, but it’s still unclear how much influence they had or did n’t have on the rise and fall of GME.

Reddit users on r/wallstreetbets rallied around the stock in an attempt to squeeze hedge funds that had bet against the video game company. Piiq told Reuters it detected’patterns of artificial behavior’ in gamestop-related posts just before the January 28th chaos through February 18th.

Piiq did not analyze Reddit traffic. Ceo Steve Huffman said the platform had not detected any bot-driven activity.
