I get it. For some reason i see this as working towards no more running 7,000 bots and influence peddling, or blatant manipulation from governments through fake accounts running "brand management" campaigns.

Too optimistic maybe to think a company being aware of one name running a ton of accounts and doing anything for humanity because of it for the better good, but I get it.

Plus creeps thrive in the darkness, selling CSAM and the gross shit American leaders do. Bitcoin for killing stuff on video, like it could stop. Those guys could be identified and put in a cellar never to hurt anyone again.

Too bad almost none of that will actually be implemented and will instead be used to target those who disagree.

Ya, its too optimistic to think it will be helping anyone besides like 50 guys.
