The Twitter BitCoin Scam
The take over of high-value Twitter accounts on July 2020 worries me. sure it was a bitcoin scheme this time but what if the account was taken over as President Trump and the fake tweet was not about BitCoin but of a false message that he has assassinated protestors in Portland, Or or Seattle, Wa?
Couple that account hijacking with a media outlet that says there is a developing story about martial law announcement in the coming hour.
Sure the White House and the News Outlet will make a prompt correction but what happens when the immediate social media reaction spills over into the streets? How much social unrest could have happened by two simple tweets from a man (Trump) who is known to send half thought out statements based solely on emotion.
To further this exercise what kind of public responses would happen that were legit? Fueling the fires of divisiveness This is just a concern
