IMO we should pass laws that make this illegal without disclosing of persons/group that paid for the bot or shills with each message, and massive fines for failure. Too much of the internet has become shills and bots and the bots are starting to get AI.

I'm not a lawyer but would be okay with a law that made a "disclosure clause" optional for all websites. If a website elects to include this statement on there site companies operating in the US would be obligated to disclose the use of bots or shills when in operation. If don't they get fined. Like a terms of use agreement with a little more fire power. If sites don't want to be transparent they don't have to, but we can at least have a list of shill approved sites.
