    This story became much less interesting after I realized they were worried about tweets about Taylor Swift, not tweets made by Taylor Swift.

      As upset as some people get when posters read a headline then go straight to the comments… this shit is why that happens. Headline caught my interest, but now I gotta hit the comments to assess whether the headline has some degree of journalistic integrity, or if it’s just clickbait bullshit… and by the time that assessment is done, it can be hard not to be already invested in and engaging with the comments xD

        I just go right to the comments. Often they point out the flaws much quicker than me reading bot generated articles. It’s not flawless but works 99% of the time.

        Deliberately misleading or ambiguous headlines share some blame.

      Really do we not expect governments to be reading publicly available information that’s put out on social media? They would have to be inept to pass that up.
