If I'm reading this right... There seems to be two possibilities proposed.

One is data collection, these bots will remain quiet.

The other I'm guessing here is that at some point in the future, once they've potentially established links in the WoT, they will be turned on. Spout spam or some such thing? 🤔

Yup. Exactly.

To elaborate slightly on your second option, the "no-bios" may later provide "Web of Trust" access and targeting info for new, more obviously harmful bots.

And by harmful, scams and spam is likely, of course, but I'm expecting also entrapment and malware. Demand for "domestic threats" rises and falls with the political weather, the wise agent prepares her lists ahead of time.

Helga from Sveden... isn't. Even if 1000 bots follow her.
