the article you're talking about reads like a case of "our holy narrative-correcting taskforce vs their pagan misinformation agents"

[bad actors] put in the effort to build reputation..., mixing legitimate page edits with the more politically sensitive ones

through subtle changes like casting doubt on the objectivity of pro-Western accounts

they also mention adding links from Russian state-owned news, but the article doesn't indicate that those things happen in the same incidents though mentioning it in the same sentence is certainly an attempt to conflate them. It's one thing to remove insufficiently reliable sources, correcting misrepresented facts, and banning the wreckers that consistently produce it, but I think there is an issue if validly-sourced edits are being censored by "bias adjusters" (NPOV purposes withstanding) just because the content is deemed to have been written by a suspected bad actor.
