Twitter Now Lets You Report Accounts That You Suspect Are Bots (theverge.com)
Twitter is updating its reporting process to allow you to report accounts that you suspect are bots. "Now, when you tap the 'it's suspicious or spam' option under the report menu, you'll be able to specify why you think that, including an option to say 'the account tweeting this is fake,'" reports The Verge. From the report: Twitter announced the change through its official safety account today, and it's now live on both the web version and mobile version of the service. You can see an example of the mobile report flow pertaining to this update [via a tweet from @TwitterSafety.] According to a Twitter spokesperson, "The new reporting flow will allow us to collect more detailed information so we can identify and remove spam more effectively. With more details to review, we'll be adding more resources to our review processes."
Satire aside, the Blue Wave a lot of you think will happen won't happen.
Fear is a powerful thing, and that fearmongering they're doing is tried and tested. Fox news viewers have invested so much faith, believing contradictory and debunked claims, and putting so much of their own self worth into sticking with Fox through lie after lie, that its difficult to accept at this point they've been hoodwinked.
Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me, fool me a million times, and I'd have to admit to myself I'm a total worthless moron that can be fooled a million times!
Don't believe me? Take a look at the bomber, he lost everything to a bank that stole his house with fake documents, Steven Mnuchin's bank, Trump's treasury secretary, as it happens. Bush Jnrs inflated property bubble went pop and Mnuchin saw a chance to get rich. Yet the bomber thinks Hillary Clinton is to blame as part of a mass conspiracy of Democrats! Why does he think that? Because Fox News pumps him full of lies till he shuts out the truth.
All those seniors, they know *someone* in government was taking away their healthcare, and they didn't quite follow the details, and Fox News says that was Democrats, so they'd better vote Republican. All these Republicans saying they're fighting those damn Democrats to protect the healthcare system, and protect people with pre-existing conditions. Fox News says that's true, so it must be true, because they have it from two sources! Of course its false, but not if you get your news from Fox News!
You'd better be realistic about it, there will be no major breakthrough on Tuesday. Only more Republicans and more fear mongering.
