Starting July 1, a new law on modified trucks and cars could mean fines for certain drivers.

Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee in March signed legislation banning a modification known commonly as a “Carolina squat,” which refers to cars and trucks with front ends raised to sit higher off the ground than the backs of vehicles, so that the bodies of the vehicles are no longer parallel to the ground.

I suspect there will still be online interactions with humans, just more interactions with bots. Unfortunately, it's we humans behind the mess. Even if we pass laws to stop it (or even forced labels of "I'm a bot" on bot accounts), some people won't play by the rules. So the change is going to happen. We can try to persuade the public, but we know how well that works:

A parody of the piracy ad from the 1980s 'home taping is killing music and it's illegal' cassette tape with crossbones. The words read 'online bots are killing social media and it sucks'.

So what do you propose be done about it?

So change means "dying"? So every time a tadpole evolves into a frog, a tadpole dies? Should we have protest signs that read, "FROGS KILL TADPOLES! DOWN WITH FROGS"?

Bots are increasing. But the Internet is not dead/dying, just changing. Many of the "The 10 bots are posting a total of 1000 times a day." are repost bots merely parroting human generated content.

I wonder, though, if this will cause the scrapers to be impacted by the reposters or other AI generated content.

But is the Internet dying? The thing it doesn't say is if the human participation is dwindling.

To keep it simple, I'll work with small numbers. Imagine there are 10 humans online. Now imagine 1 bot on online. Bots are 9% (1 in 11) of this imaginary online community. A year later, those same 10 humans are still online, but there are now 10 bots online; the bots are 50% of the community. This statistic can lead you to think there is less human participation when nothing happened to the humans. The difference is the raw number of bots. This is what I believe is happening, about the same number of humans, just an increasing number of bots, scraping, posting, etc.

X/Twitter is dying because of mismanagement.

If they put a president such as Trump above the law, even to assassinating a rival… doesn’t that mean that Joe Biden could order a hit on Trump, laugh over Trump’s corpse, ~~watch as the House votes to impeach him, and relax as the Senate ignores this?~~

Sorry, I just realized they would be giving Biden the golden "get out of jail free" card, so that Marjorie Taylor Greene and Matt Gaetz wouldn't even have the satisfaction of voting against Biden.

However, I still think Trump will lose this, and it's because of this:

The lyrics are confusing.

If everybody wants you Why isn't anybody callin'?

Nobody is calling.

You don't have to answer

Why would you answer, when no one is calling?

Leave 'em hangin' on the line

How do you leave them on the line if they aren't calling?

Oh-oh, calling Gloria

Maybe that previous lyric was a mistake?

"Don't you think Trump looks tired?"

To paraphrase for this specific situation. When the Doctor says to Alex, "Don't you think she (Harriet) looks tired." It's planting the seed in Alex to question if Harriet is fit to continue being Prime Minister, or if she is 'too tired'. These 6 words spoken to Alex, Harriet's Sr. aide, inevitably leads to Harriet's downfall

Do you know how to tell when a politician is lying? Their lips are moving.
