There is absolutely no difference. Why is it ok for politicians to pay for signs to be posted in front yards, show to all of the neighborhood "network". Yet, the same action is somehow evil when the "neighborhood" is instead a social media platform?
- dwallin 7y agoIt’s because this exists in meatspace where there is almost always a significant Proof of Work required. This helps limit/prevent the most egregious abuses.
- miscPerson 7y agoNo it doesn’t: one person and a backpack of stickers or posters will tag all the light poles in a neighborhood in an evening. That’s no more “proof of work” than a day of Twitter posts, and is exactly the same false signaling of broad support. I suspect that targeting Bloomberg and not the paid shills of other campaigns is itself a form of false signaling from a Twitter employee with a political bias.
