That in mind, in the interest of specificity I wonder if the phrase '[foreign] state actors' would be better used?

Yes, if it were justified.

It isn't justified. There is zero reason to believe that these accounts are foreign or bots. I checked a bunch of them. Every account looked like a normal human American on one side of the political spectrum.

It would be nice if the list were clear on that, but "block foreign bots" is more marketable than "filter bubble me harder".
