I am actively hostile to manipulation of friends and family thru the means of social media. It incentivies noise.https://t.co/f3SCnIWmqR https://t.co/htRweHuhlh

I am deeply concerned over spread of platforms incentivising sockpuppets & manipulative "influencers". Most abusive ones destabilize trust.

We've built these social media castles on trust. P2P ecommerce, and the transformative power of crowdfunding rely on honesty in the crowd.

This trust is fragile. Cultural norms that incentivies profit over relationship may destroy that. Honesty is key: https://t.co/An4hleAomS

Basically, building an incentive engine that rewards non-citizen behavior. Tl;DR: Sybil attacks on social networks for advertising dollars. https://t.co/2LJy1VX3lX

This is an attack on the commons, using self interests against us. Marketers infecting the watering hole with bacterial gastroenteritis.

To protect a community from parasytic ad'iarrhea: We need herd immunity. To sell may be human. But don't shit where you eat. Sell hygiene.

Ad hijacks are parasites. But as ads turn to interspecific competition vs us, malware is abandoning the dying host.https://t.co/wtpI9QT9Gu

Funny to think that even for profit malware ecosystem is shifting from web ad hijacks over to a social modus.https://t.co/oK1Ih51QS7
