Started training a bot that tries to analyze and identify hate-speech on Twitter.
A few things became quite apparent after only a few days:
1. There are huge networks of (seemingly) fake accounts that like and retweet each other's posts. Someone is operating this at a _massive_ scale.
2. Reporting and banning fake accounts seems futile. You're fighting a hydra that spawns new accounts quicker than one can report them.
3. I'm feeling sick to my stomach just browsing through the logs.

@fribbledom The rich and powerful are historically the ones who benefit from keeping the poor focused on fighting each other rather than on looking at the root cause of their poverty. (Wealth being accumulated rather than distributed.)
