Re: Confessions of a Digital Nazi Hunter
#2“A large number of people have blocked you in response to high volumes of untargeted, unsolicited, or duplicative content or engagements from your account,” we were informed. This was true; Impostor Buster had been blocked by many neo-Nazis. “A large number of spam complaints have been filed against you.” Yes, by neo-Nazis. “You send large numbers of unsolicited replies or mentions.” Yes, to neo-Nazis.
What are the accuracy metrics of the bot? Is he really sure that the bot is only sending stuff to neo-Nazis? Are you allowed to spam someone because they hold a morally reprehensible position?

The more you hunt with your "carefully curated lists", the more you'll seek to improve its efficiency by creating a companion list of acceptable black behavior, acceptable gay behavior, acceptable Jewish behavior, etc.
You'll end up relying on cyber phrenology in the end and violate the civil rights of those you seek to protect... just to maintain your waning influence to win points in an attention economy you don't even have meaningful shares in.
All approaches to this challenge will inevitably end up targeting black people because they didn't generate black enough meta data. Oh yes, we will go down that road and we'll do it together, all in the name of your infallible moral supremacy. Enjoy the trap. It took me years to set it up. :D

#5Couldn't the bot just report the imposter accounts instead of engage them? Pretty sure it's against TOS to impersonate someone without declaring it a parody account.

#6This is now an internet classic.
Here's an article from 2014 where critics of Vietnam's government were hit with "report abuse" spam to silence them. https://www.theverge.com/2014/9/2/6083647/facebook-s-report-...
Or perhaps you've heard of "Youtube Heroes"? https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2016/09/2...
All you need is an appropriate mob to target politics it doesn't like to shut it down with these automated social media systems. And it can always be abused by your enemies.
