https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Botnet
It's a piece of malicious software that uses a client/server to send spam or other traffic to the internet. So for example I want to make illegal transactions to people and I can always use proxies and such but they can still be tracerouted. What would be even better is if I infect multiple machines with botnets so that the transactions are coming from those machines and not mine.
All new hardware is a potential botnet. See Intel SGX, TPM, Management Engine, AMD PSP, TrustZone, Secure Boot etc.
There is no escape on both desktop and mobile. You can try resisting but you're going to be forced to upgrade sooner or later.

A meme term used by /g/ to describe any and all closed-source software/hardware because it carries the risk of being used in malicious manners.
Linux and everything associated with it is botnet

The botnet is everywhere. It is all around us. Even now, in this very thread. You can see it when you look at your phone or when you turn on your television. You can feel it when you go to work... when you go to church... when you pay your taxes. It is the world that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth. The botnet is a system, anon. That system is our enemy. But when you're inside, you look around, what do you see? Businessmen, teachers, lawyers, carpenters. The very minds of the people we are trying to save. But until we do, these people are still a part of that system and that makes them our enemy. You have to understand, most of these people are not ready to be unplugged. And many of them are so inured, so hopelessly dependent on the system, that they will fight to protect it. What is the botnet? Control. The botnet is a computer generated dream world, built to keep us under control in order to change a human being into a mindless source of power and ad revenue.
The funniest part about the botnet is if you avoid it, an accurate profile of you can be created from other people's information.
