The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

You write a script (code) to load an account, auto tweet something, auto refresh, etc. etc. etc.

Sure - but is there any evidence that they actually did that? As opposed to just loading their account and scrolling and refreshing it the way virtually everyone just uses Twitter?

Again, from the complaint there's no indication that they did anything particularly sophisticated or complicated. They took an account, had it follow a bunch of folks who post anti-semitic stuff, and scrolled through until they saw some major brand ads next to the Hitler pics. There's not even an allegation that they spent a particularly long amount of time doing it. It's something you could have an intern spend an hour or two doing....no script necessary.
