I mean, yeah, but it's one thing if some perv's running it on their own box after reading 5 guides vs. elon musk having a tiwtter bot that does it for you without even trying to stop it from doing that even after knowing it's doing it. the former is unavoidable, the latter is a choice he's made for some fucking reason
