I am aware of the occasional purges at some of these companies, and that when the purges happen, often many of the accounts are "found" to be fake. It is still difficult to determine what is "found" vs we need stats showing responsiveness, or even if its real, how much has been discovered. FB makes those statements, and then I have all of Africa trying to friend me for some reason... The other issue, is it's still mostly internal numbers, internal statements, "auditors found something," if you find something really egregious then we'll do something, ect... Comparably, I still don't really know they're all not just running a web-ring, and bot farming each other for ad money. I see too many folks at Davos who have mentalities like "how dare the President keep me waiting" for me to believe they don't all collude. [1] Life has had this kind of message for centuries.
