That's quite the good point you made!

You know what would really stop the bot problem? Throw up a paywall. If every account accrued a $5/mo fee then, miraculously, your AI problem would be solved simply because botting would be unprofitable.
This was literally Musk's idiotic pitch to stop the bot problem on Twitter, and despite the move to charging a fee for a blue checkmark, this unsurprisingly did not cut down bots on the platform. So not only are you pitching one of Musk's idiotic ideas -- which is embarrassing enough -- you're pitching one of Musk's idiotic ideas that already failed.
and then disappear without leaving obvious traces.
Er, do attackers normally leave a handy log of traces?
Plenty of attacks can leave a trace that they occurred. Why are you under the impression that that's not normal? It's not like attackers ever intentionally left traces of their presence.
and don't assume mobile devices are somehow safer than desktops anymore

Have you never interacted with a member of the general public? Or seen how they use their devices? People tend to not think of their phones as being phones, not as computers. With computers, the extent of their security awareness is knowing that computers can get infected with viruses, but it's not my experience that they have even that minimal level of security awareness when it comes to their phones.
Is it your experience that most people think of their phones as computers that are vulnerable to security threats?
Want an even better plan? Read the fucking article!
Who's "Rob"? Is that 'Banksy's real name? If not, then why are you promoting it as if it is?
Why are you asking this on a comment thread about an article that discloses Banksy's real name?
Trying voting with your dollar. If more poeple did it, they would not be profitable.
I wrote " LiveNation's monopoly allows them to charge exorbitant ticket prices & fees that results in the arts only be accessible to the wealthy." for a reason.
Every concert venue has a capacity limit, thereby making tickets it a scarce resource. If there's a 1000 seats available, any tickets that aren't bought by someone of average means who is "voting with their wallet", just get purchased by the wealthy
And just because it isn't a right, it doesn't mean that people can't be rightfully pissed that LiveNation's monopoly allows them to charge exorbitant ticket prices & fees that results in the arts only be accessible to the wealthy.
So glaze that boot all you want -- it's your right -- but do drop any delusion that this shit shouldn't be reigned in.
No need to worry, I dont think this ideologically very limited monoculture platform will last much longer..
"ideologically very limited" is a weird way to say "bans nazis", you precious little snowflake.
Oh, you meant the accounts were de-anonymized and the users identified ? Then write that.
The summary literally says "successfully matched anonymous online users with their actual identities on other platforms." You have poor social skills and your reading comprehension sucks.
There's never an assumption of privacy when you're in public. Note that "public" and "private" are different words.
Man, you really thought you said something clever here (and more likely, you're regurgitating nonsense you heard someone else say that you thought sounded clever), and it's patently absurd.
Anyone who has pulled over to the side of the road and walked behind some bushes to take a leak, ONLY pulls their throbbing wang out to piss when they can correctly assume that they have privacy. You don't know wtf you're talking about.
I really wouldn't like the telco's box with a bunch of processing capability and AI "features" running my network. I doubt they'd pay to install something like that in your house unless it was doing them some good though.
Not a single part of this story is about "telco boxes with AI features. The ENTIRE story is about the impact of memory prices on normal telco equipment having surged due to AI demand elsewhere. I'm as anti-"AI" as you can get, but it sounds like YOU really could use one if THAT's the takeaway that your shit reading comprehension hallucinated from this story,
Happiness is a positive cash flow.
