    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?
