Ooh so THAT'S what bothers me about Traitors. It reminds me too much of real life.
That's the bit I find most destructive about political campaigning: this constant game of "what's that you say Lassie?" voters have to play to guess what a candidate *really* stands for because you need all the votes or you get nothing. It leads us here, with the most convincing liars in power.

THIS IS FRAUD!! In so many ways, this is evil and should be illegal and should get the whole scam shut down. The platform makes money based on how many users it has. Falsifying the number of users IS FRAUD.
Also, THAT'S EVIL!! It's digital necromancy. Like... digital zombies, digital slavery.

This is disgusting, and dehumanizing, and unfortunately coming to damn near every platform you can think of. Multilingualism isn’t an inconvenience to be “solved” by technology. We have to push back.
Discovered today that Instagram had turned on (without my opt-in) automatic AUDIO translation of any reel that shows up in my feed not in English USING AI TO MIMIC THE SPEAKER’S VOICE and WOW it was creepy and upsetting.
You can turn it off in “Language & Translations” in Settings. 🙅🏻♀️
