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

I mean agree that we should prevent it in such obvious cases like this, I was just making the point that this is going to be a very persistent issue.
