This just tips the discourse more in favor of those running the bots. Also, since most of the world is governed by democracy, a key requirement is to have informed citizens so they don't vote for policies based on misinformation. One may not wish to use twitter (myself included), but a significant amount of the world population does.
- phtrivier 6y agoYes, but imagine how brilliant it would be for twitter to be only full of bots spewing disinformation at each other (and the few human conspiracy theorist who would be lost for the cause anyway), while concerned citizens are... Getting their disinformation from somewhere else. Never mind. Still, all this puts "prevent bit usage by design" on the feature list for the next generation of social media (that and "prevent sharing without human moderation beyond a certain virality point", "clever shadow banning" ,and an eliza mode for those times you juste want to yell at the clouds...
- DFHippie 6y agoRight. And I suspect the people most likely to delete their accounts are the ones least likely to be influenced by bots.
