其他摘要：This is a reflection on the existence of
machines (Software) acting on the
Internet whose primary objectives are to
influence opinions, induce behaviors and
even modify the habits of users (humans)
in the network. Thus, it is necessary to
analyze the current conjuncture of the
Internet considering the bots and to
describe some facts involving these
machines, which have already been
carried out in a network. The reflection
was based on bibliographical research
and presents the realization that bots are
already participating autonomously, as
much as humans, on the Internet and that
they use the information available on the
network to influence people in adopting
habits and Networks that are of interest
to third parties. To this end, the machines
already establish their information
systems and participate considerably in
the nearby circles of human users. Thus,
to disregard the bots of information
flows on the Internet means ignoring
almost half of network activity, which
leaves them in a situation of prominence
in network relationships.
