      Why? I don’t see the harm in labelling parody and impersonation accounts.

      (considering what’s left behind on Xitter, that’s probably a good thing)

        Cracking down on parody accounts is stupid. Removing accounts actually trying to impersonate someone, that’s a good thing.

          Did you actually read the article?

          They are cracking down on accounts that don’t label themself correctly as parody accounts, so they don’t impersonate someone.

          Man I wish people wouldn’t just read headlines and start tying.

            I don’t understand why it wouldn’t be reversed. Everyone on the internet is fake until proven otherwise

              Unfortunately that wasn’t been a thing for the past 10+ years since the generation that told us "don’t believe everything you see on the internet " decided to get on the internet and ignore their own advice.

                So why add the reverse feature now? If a need was identified, the tools presented to enact it, why do it in the shittiest way?
