    Bots can be deselected in settings, can’t they? Although they are selected by default.

        You can but only if the bot account has actually been set as a bot account in its account settings page. Naturally, malicious actors aren’t going to out their own bot accounts by setting them as bot accounts if they’re looking to do something like astroturf or manipulate opinions through voting.
