What was it then? Is the NFL hashtag battle not something that happened in response to protest in the US?

"Be aware that much of this dispute is being hijacked by people acting in bad faith without reference to the substance" is not an assertion about how to protest, or if the substance is valid.

"X is amplified by Y" does not imply "there does not exist an x in X such that x was not amplified by Y"

Not my question. Do you believe bots are only ever used by people acting in bad faith?

You wrote "But the bots aren't amplifying those message. This is about amplifying the division." Tweet before that said something similar.

By saying that you 1) suggested (against what DFR showed) that bots couldn't be believers 2) amplifying not legit tactic for true believers.
