Here's a few examples: https://twitter.com/search?q=shooter%20communist&src=typd Some of the people sharing this stuff have 100,000+ followers. If even one of them falsely believes stuff like this, it's too many. --- http://i.imgur.com/nGZeEqw.png Do you really think you can beat me? <cite>NinjaBreakfast posted [p:896158732] in People fal...

Was that person able to seek reparations for libel or something? I vaguely recall some guy in the UK (I think?) being 'identified' for something last year and it turns out the name/pictures circulated were of a guy who was in prison at the time. I'd be surprised if a settlement wasn't reached double quick. --- http://i.imgur.com/nGZeEqw.png Do you really think you can beat me? <cite>NinjaBreakfast posted [p:896158883] in People fal...

Tmaster148 02/15/18 6:44:47 PM #5:	I'm pretty sure the tactic is to find someone to blame quickly before the actual identity is release as many people will talk about the first person mentioned and not actually do any research. --- http://i.imgur.com/BBcZDLJ.png <cite>Tmaster148 posted [p:896158965] in People fal...

NinjaBreakfast 02/15/18 7:18:06 PM #10:	The Sam Hyde stuff is dumb but at least there's a clear element of attempted '''''humour'''''' there. I don't see how somebody lying to potentially thousands of people about the identity and motive of somebody like this can be handwaved as 'trolling'.

Was that person able to seek reparations for libel or something? Reddit blamed some guy for the Boston Bombing who had committed suicide about a week earlier. His disappearance is what prompted the allegations. It just turned out he disappeared because he drove into water iirc. The more fucked up thing out of that was one of the police agencies posting a picture on Twitter of a Hispanic dude that just happened to be there, as a suspect. --- It all just disappears, doesn't it?

NinjaBreakfast 02/16/18 8:44:22 AM #15:	It's wild to me that this doesn't illicit more of a response in people tbh. Ideologically biased twitter accounts broadcasting knowingly false incendiary info to thousands of people.
