  @jack was honoured to interview you a long time ago but until @twitter fully discloses who got and approved Russian FSB money during DST secondary, how can we trust @Twitter? Blood of the 186 dead Russian journalists soaks all DST & anyone who took it $TWTR or US democracy?

  Why @jack can’t we use tech like hamilton68 or botcheck to flag suspicious accounts and prevent them from retweeting or being retweeted pending review? Kill the amplifier before pulling the power. What’s the difficulty you see that we don’t?

  @jack is complicit. Until we legislate deletion of malicious bot accounts (while maintaining anonymity protections for users) platforms will continue to rake it in at democracy’s expense.

  Seriously, I left FB when the ads were overwhelming. Twitter is being overrun by bots to the point it's often difficult to follow conversations. Now even Reddit is bot infested. DO something@Jack

  Looks to me this claim that people defending the 2nd amendment are bots is actually bots trying to dismiss people who are seeing an attack on our rights. Why would russia be pro 2nd amendment? Why would they care? If they want to go to war with us no guns would benefit them
