Well, the general issue that caused it is disinformation campaigns
People that point out Brazil's current state of affairs don't seem to realize that eventually, a ban of unmoderated social networks is inevitable from a legislative standpoint.
I wish that X/bluesky/Facebook/etc had something like a clear label next to its users, maybe a robot icon when the post was created via their API or in an automated manner.
That would help people to identify campaigns already a lot.
But on the other hand, these are the paying customers, right? It's always "just advertisement" until it is not anymore.

I am surprised this even needs to be stated; either 15 or 18 years ago I made the mistake of creating a phpBB forum instance for my shareware, and it was a rounding error from 100% of signups being spammers. The only difference between spam and disinformation is economic vs political power.
- Green_Frog 2y agoDespite of its original meaning, disinformation has become just a slogan word for content people in power don't want you to see. The antidote to disinformation isn't moderation, it is true information. X has advanced more than any other platform with community notes. Tech is the antidote, not more government regulation and centralized power.
