this was not me. someone made this account for me then pretended to be me on it. the person pretending to be me was a guy, and i’m sorry for this. i do not even have a boyfriend and do not know this company.

It's OK, he's retarded, let it go.

The majority of these "Gaza" profiles ARE spam, and scams. They are almost always the same word for word bio, minus the differing names, and all IMMEDIATELY send dms asking for money right after you follow them.

The left's history of compassion makes then think we are ALL easy marks to scam

I will do so! Thanks for your input on this!

Will do. Thanks.

Or, they're using an automation program. Like this one. Don't try Googling it, it appears in no search engine, but you can mass-follow people's "following" and "followers". I wrote one, just for the experience, that searches for a keyword and follows anyone who skeets it. nws-bot.us/bskyFollowMy...

Then you're a good netizen and nothing I said (other than, well, there are scammers out there) applies.
December 29, 2024 at 11:22 AM
I would be interested in that.

Yes, it is. Again—I don't take the Israeli side. Netanyahu is a genocidaire as suspected by the International Criminal Court. The labeller mostly works to tag Assadist and pro-Russian accounts. We do not fully rely on it either. You're tagged as "Disruptive" and yet I engage.
December 29, 2024 at 10:58 AM
Yes. It's a pretty accurate labeller, though not 100% reliable (we've had to be in touch to get them to remove labels on misinformation spreaders who concede that they were wrong). Mind, most of the labels were applied for pro-Russian and pro-Assad content.

What? He's not. "Network member" = labelled by a volunteer moderator as part of a botnet.
December 29, 2024 at 10:50 AM
All right, I'll downgrade "most" to "lots". Fair enough.

> Are you aware that this is most likely a fake? A scam, a fraud?
>> didn't present them as a question
Lol. Lmao, even.

I didn't call THIS account a scam. I said "the vast majority", painting with a deliberately broad brush and focusing on the cybersecurity aspect of it. There are genuine Pal accounts, and those people have my sympathy. Whether this specific person is genuine or not I have no idea.
December 29, 2024 at 9:18 AM
If you CAN talk to an account, I consider them legitimate. I was only speaking about fake, scam accounts. If they are NOT a scam, well, nothing I said applies.

The spam is the medium, the scam is the substrate. (Remember, a real Arab would respond to a DM in Arabic. The fact they don't do that, or respond in English when mocked—ffs even the Illuminati scammers did that—proves my assertion.)
December 29, 2024 at 9:13 AM
It's not *words* they think will work. It's EXACTLY THE SAME MESSAGE. Copy and pasted across multiple accounts. Only they use automation programs to copy and paste. But hey, if you're okay with being robbed by someone "desperate" who isn't even IN Palestine...
December 29, 2024 at 9:11 AM
*In context*, it is proof. Because the DM's followed an *EXACT* script (that is why my bf and his employees mocked them)—he'd get like two or three of them with the exact same phrasing, an hour or two apart.

"Deleted account" -> i.e. they got banned entirely from BlueSky for scamming. Surrounded in the company inbox (not my personal one) by other scammers, with obviously bullshit come-ons and also banned accounts, just to prove context.
