      "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.

      This tweet suggests that bots are never used by people who believe in the substance. Do you believe that?https://twitter.com/pwnallthethings/status/914496955434307584 …

      Do real folks care about the issues? Obviously yes. But the bots aren't amplifying those message. This is about amplifying the division

      "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?

      So bots are sometimes used by people who legit believe, even passionately, in a topic?

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

      Yes. If I have 6000 twitter accounts, half saying "#BoycottNFL", and half saying "#TakeTheKnee", maybe it's not to amplify the message.

      And I took care to point out many of these bots are run by alt-reichers, many passionate believers in their terrible cause. Not just nation-states.

      Yes, you did, in fact, point out they were run by what you called alt-reichers. Which is support RU was NOT playing both sides, if at all.

          Which actually SHOULD be the nugget where we talk about legitimacy. Is running bots legit for the right wingers who believe this?

          I agree with the original tweet. My take: SN's are dead b/c of bot nets. EASY 2 build. NSA likely using #Russiagate as cover 4 domestic ops.
