You’re grossly over-estimating the average intelligence (and willingness to actually stop and think for a minute) of those accounts’ target markets.
I have friends who spend pretty much their entire lives on FB and Insta and they would swallow anything from there... last time one was surprised when I told her a watch she saw advertised on FB with a huge discount (300£ to like around 39£) was never at 300£ in the first place.
Also please let me opt out of social feed - not just for 6 hours on mobile, permanently. It is total BS that I as a paying customer am required to be "social" on your app.
Seriously? Do I have to list countless individuals who fought multinational corps and won b/c they were being screwed? Telling your family to put the hamburgers down aint going to help this situation.
I think Musk knows what he is doing. He is obsessed with the short sellers and is most likely playing them through this. Yes the SEC took a whack at him. Probably all part of the plan.
This guy lied about mass shootings and encouraged the bullies to physically torment the parents of the victims. But sure, let's treat him as an equal. Twitter is a cesspool.
Maybe what they're referring to is one step removed. InfoWars yammers on about crisis actors, insisting that the parents are government agents or some such (I can't make heads or tails of these conspiracies) and the listeners make their life hell. Here's an article about it, I'm surprised you haven't seen it if you've been following the sandy hook lawsuits.
You've been using HN to comment only on ideology and politics. That's not a legit use of this site, whose purpose is intellectual curiosity, not ideological battle. If you'd please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and use the site as intended, we'd appreciate it.
We eventually ban accounts that use HN primarily for political battle. It will take over the site if we let it, so we can't let it.
I hear/read this regurgitated in many comments about AJ as well as him calling for assassinating President Obama. Yet the evidence for this never materializes. This seems more like poisoning the well to avoid any discussion/argumentation.
I had a chairman of a company scream that if we did all not do exactly as he said, he would consider it insubordination. I found another job, then sent him a private message to go fack himself.
