Why? There’s plenty of people disavowing their actions and plenty supporting them. There will be plenty of blue checkmarks with full face shown selfdoxxing while they gleefully call for more to be killed.
- squigz 9mo agoThere is lots of propaganda being pushed online with fake accounts. Checkmarks and pictures of a face do not make a real account.
- SilverElfin 9mo agoThat could be true. But the damage is real still. Posts by bots influence real people. If Twitter / X has lots of fake accounts, we need to figure out how to force them to do something about it. I’m sure they can do more about bots if the replies on most big accounts are mostly bots. If they aren’t mostly bots, then that’s a problem of a different kind. But mass spam by bots can still corrupt our political process.
- squigz 9mo ago> It influences real people Sure, but only because people think that that's what the public really thinks.
- hhh 9mo agomy point is that there’s enough information that it’s a selfdoxx of it being an actual person that you can find from the information given there alone. Plenty of people pay for the ‘i think my opinion matters more’ boost button, malicious propagandist or regular person alike
