Politicians and corporations will be able to pay and use these bots to influence users on policy and politics like they would with advertisements. They're cutting out the shadowy troll farm and PR firm middlemen.

They will use still use bot farms, but they become much more automated and effective . Doubt PR firms and influence peddlers are going anywhere.
