I think it’s still a relevant problem we will face as a society with regards to bot farms etc running social interference (eg election propaganda)

They will definitely haggle over your second hand item. Ever tried selling an Apple product on Facebook marketplace?

You get a ton of scammers and you can't tell with some of them (until they try the actual scam, by which point you've wasted time messaging them, packaging the item, etc.)

> Comment on whatever the local council has planned?

That seems plausible? Already achievable with some interns mind you. But still

Having spent all of 5 minutes on "nextdoor" - it isnt hard to whip some locals into complete hysteria.

Well, there clearly are bots on social media, doing things like reposting popular posts to farm reputation points.

The idea these bots are doing that for a reason doesn't seem so crazy to me.
