“Hello there, fellow Humans.”

Meow?

Consequences? Sure. Does not cancel or falsify the results, though.

Point there is clear, that even the mods helped the bots manipulate people to a cause/point. This proves the studiy’s point even more. In practice and in the real world.

Imagine the experiment was allowed to run secretly, it would have changed user’s minds since the study claims that the bots were 3 to 6 times better at manipulating people than a human in different metrics.

Given that Reddit is a bunch of hive minds, it is obvious that it would have made huge dents. As mods have a tendency to delete or ban anyone who rejects the group think. So mods are also a part of the problem.

Or sometimes, just an authoritarian government.

Exactly. There is no such thing as rights in that context as we have seen governments take them and be force to relinquish them throughout history. Everything can be taken or revoked.

Inalienable rights are a pipe dream of idealistic, naive people who have never lived in the real world where these so-called Rights had be fought or died for.

Just look at the current state of the the UK, their PM proudly stated that 400 were arrested for posting shit online. WTF? In Germany a man was charged for calling a fat, obese politician ‘fat.’ The UK wants to become a nanny state, for your protection, you see. Same with Germany and others. They are literally and slowly coping the CCP police state model.

In the USA, in some States is now literally Illegal to NOT do business with Israel. But you want to not do business with Canada or Mexico, then go right ahead. Nobody cares. Gee, I wonder who is funding these policians, AIPAC? Yes.

So The Register is lying?

Whether people like or not, 4Chan has had a huge influence on internet culture, and thus culture as a whole. What you are really describing is just /POL or /B. 4Chan had a news, books, tech boards that nothing to do why what you are thinking.

As content, terms and memes down current into the normie internet. From all types of content. For example, the term “Slop” which I see now used as way to describe soulless, current media content is now being used by many YT content creators /, which came from 4Chan, specifically the term goyslop which is noe years old. I mean there are dozens if not hundreds of other examples. The concept of Bronnies started as a joke on 4Chan that spun out of control.

Israel’s psyops on 4chan could be to indirectly manipulate and to demoralise English speaking countries by poisoning the well. It is almost as if Israel literally does every single stereotype they claim they do not do, and will call everyone antisemitic over it. I am almost certain the push the BBC meme as to create racial tensions. It is just a devide and conquer geopolitical move. Other countries do it, too.

Cool and true advise. 95% of users or normies will literally not do that.

Linux users are less than 5% of all PC users.

I was under the impression that if a phone restarts, then you cannot use biometrics. You have to use a pin/password/etc.

Google being evil?

Please, I pray, some one, lend me some pearls to clutch!

I still have and will continue to purchase TVs for as long as I can. Not smartTVs.

As a side note, I went to Best Buy and asked them about non-smartTVs. They literally said they had 2 models. A small, tiny TV and a larger TV which they did not have a model on the floor. They would have to bring it out or I would have to go the back.

“Even if your critism was correct…”

Either way, even me touching on the notion is enough to get downvoted. Proof is my post.

Hahaha!

Who is the removed who would that encryption is a crime?

So, do you guys think that her social media platform will last longer or less than a piece of lettuce?

Normies will not go on Mastodon.

You can not make any commentary on Communism here. You will get down voted even if your criticism was correct. Probably even more so and the reason why this is likely to get downvoted out of hand, as well.

Edit: Proven right. Yet again

The USA is turning into the Surveillance state China is. In fairness, so is the UK.

Because most of the world are Normies that will use whatever comes pre-installed on their phone, or go onto whatever thing their friends are on already?

I mean:
