The Borg assimilated much of the Internet when they captured other human technologies and culture.

/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable. Mistakes can happen but do your best to respect others.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon' and fuck over our artist friends.
Fun will now commence.

I've long wondered if a species with a high reproduction rate (or maybe artificial womb tech) and little regard for losses could do some kind of cyberattack against the borg by either making them assimilate a lot of junk data, harmfully incorrect information, or an overwhelmingly large number of members of some desired ideology so as to shift the entire collective towards that way of thinking
Amish biological DDOS. Suddenly the Borg become obsessed with perfecting butter churns + arts and crafts.
(Not suggesting Amish don't care about their kids. In fact, from an outsider's perspective they appear to care a LOT about having kids.)
I wonder about the binars. If they could do something unique to mess with the borg…
They would probably be easier than usual for the Borg to assimilate, given how similar their method of communication is.
Drones and even entire cubes can be cut off from the collective. Doubt it'd reach that far. There were the "concious when sleeping" borg that were kind of a virus / resistance, so probably that'd happen
