throwinawaysoon··on False Pro-China Accounts Invade Twitter in the UK
ya. At 26-70 accounts you don't even need a VPS, there are free VPNs, free temporary emails, and temporary phone numbers you can buy. this could be any angry chinese person or a teenager.

Being anti-china gets people riled up. I'm guessing it's the same in China when they want to divert the attention.

50 western accounts on <chinese-social-media-site> said 'China Bad' at the same time.

Russia asked to block Putin's rivals apps. Google and Apple complied. The only people who could side-load it were Android users. I guess that's good for Democracy, right? because Apple said so…

It totally wouldn't happen to us…

other distributions don't have those problems because they have no where near the user base.

no one is stopping you to pay for this superior alternative to 'clunkier' offerings. but to say he came up with the 'solution' is disingenuous.

I'm seeing people saying 'this is amazing. I will pay for this' without even having tried it or any alternatives. I don't know about you but doesn't seem natural.
