Watching some videos on YouTube about protests in my region and I have a suspicion these comment sections are just filled with fake people.

Example:

On an individual level: respond to bots/trolls with the goal of providing accurate information and a perspective grounded for the benefit of uninformed lurkers who are reading but not commenting.

Don't get baited into arguments, just do your best to provide clarity so that bots have a harder time spreading misinformation.
