So Musks' grand plan to stop bots was to
... deny access to Twitter from large swaths of the world.

That's a bold plan Cotton, let's see if it pans out.
@PadreSJ Such an ineffective strategy, while geo-blocking reduces some noise/attacks, in my security experience, that's not the half of it. Mostly compromised devices acting as bots in your sweet spot here in North America. Furthermore, if you're trying to cut bots from nation-state intelligence services, I'd wager that would have almost zero effect, they're typically far more sophisticated.
@electrojcr @PadreSJ Indeed. From time to time I look at my attack logs. I find the usual assortment of random countries but somewhere between 1/3 and 1/2 of it comes from North America, much of it from Amazon cloud services.
