No no no! The true second coming of Christ was Sun Myung Moon!
If you want a sample of how crazy Chinese history can get look at the Tai Ping rebellion:
- Student fails Civil Servant Exam for the third time and has a mental breakdown
- starts claiming he's Jesus' little brother who trained him to fight demons in his dreams
- more dead than WWI
That's the most cut and dry example of copy-left license violation imaginable. This would even be a violation of a GPLv2 license. It's like they had zero idea what that license meant.
Turning and turning in the widening gyre The falcon cannot hear the falconer; Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold; Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world, The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere The ceremony of innocence is drowned; The best lack all conviction, while the worst Are full of passionate intensity.
He's clearly a centrist.
Is this Tyler Robinson?
No, there still are real people on twitter, unfortunately, particularly elites and journalists who were the main reason why twitter ever mattered. Anyone else though can safely assumed to be bots if they have a blue check mark.
If they don't have a blue check mark then they don't have paid api access, meaning their either an extremely advanced bot system that can circumvent twitters bot prevention, or they're a real person.
All blue check marks. Anyone who's actually paid for verification on Twitter is most likely a bot completely reversing it's point. Someone without a check mark is more likely to be a real person.
Like half the population of this site exists because Reddit locked down their API. It's an empirical fact that they engage in bot detection and prevention. Anyone who consistently uses a VPN will have personal experience with it. Anyone who's tried to interact with a social media's API can tell you that. Try to write a bot that scrapes Facebook events or LinkedIn profiles before you speak in such absolutes.
You are correct that they don't aim to completely eliminate them. They might even explicitly allow some of them. But If they didn't engage in any bot management you'd see nothing but spam for "hot 21yos in your area" on every site. Depending on the platform they might offer paid API access to facilitate those influence networks (eg X.com blue checks). Even if they did that they'd engage in bot prevention for bots that aren't paying.
Nothing porksnort said implied social media wanted total elimination of the bot networks. The methods listed are accurate ways they will stop unwanted traffic.
Liberals make up more of the consumer class than conservatives. That highly marketable strata of people that have disposable income tend to be affluent, college educated liberals. Its why they keep winning the culture war and it drives conservatives insane.
