But I don't think that's evidence of a botnet. Seems more likely a conventional letter writing campaign where people are invited to paste the same response. Could easily be within the police,which is dubious, but individual police officers may have the right to respond as individuals.
Yeah, I saw this comment [0] and I'm very confused as to how one concludes there is a botnet in play, let alone by a public institution. Most likely it is an employee in the police, which is totally fine. They're not forbidden to express opinion.
It doesn’t really matter whether it’s a botnet or a coordinated campaign by police officers. The fact that police is interfering with the political process is somewhere between a breakdown of the rule of law, and an attempted coup.
Voting isn’t going to fix stuff like this, that’s for sure.
There's many ways, from benign organizing of protests or involving the media all the way down to armed insurrection or terrorist threats. Again, you're a protagonist - choose your own story!
Then there's Ghandi, the Arab Spring, Milošević, the Iranian Shah as examples of things going the other way - and those are just the ones that immediately came to mind.
Again, don't be a bystander believing in foregone conclusions - that way you make them self-fulfilling prophecies. Be part of writing the story instead!
Is there a source that isn't a gif on reddit?
As ones of the comments says, you can go to https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/better-regulation/have-your-sa... and search by "invasive" to see that several responses are the same, some identified as police.

Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
This is a wildly hysterical comment.
The proof in the post is pretty dubious.
Another thing that will not be properly investigated, as usual.
Not unless there is political pressure for it.
We are not bystanders in some scheme played out by others. We're the protagonists. Our (in-) action determines how things play out.
Please describe a concrete action by private individuals that would lead to this incident being properly investigated.

7 million people protested against Donald Trump on October 18th, one of the largest protests in human history.
It meant Jack Shit.
If they had brought arms, they would have been gunned down by people with more powerful arms, and it would still mean Jack Shit.
Sure, that's one example of it going one way.
