    It will undermine CIA/NED/RFA-backed color revolution bots, too.

    Clearly this is a policy made by the ruling class, for the working class.

    It should be a good thing, people have to think more before posting their bs to the world. Less bots also. It just has to be implemented with freedom of speech in mind to be able to critic political opinions without fear while simultaneously have real consequences for deaththreats and hatespeech.
