    So, we’re gonna tackle bot manipulation for research purposes at the same time we’re gonna deal with bot manipulation for ads and political manipulation, right? Or is it just not okay to do for scientific ends but fine if it’s to sell you shit or advance a political agenda?

    To be clear, this is very much not okay, it’s just weird to me that once the goal is to sell you shit people are much more accepting of it as business as usual.
