Spam as Activist Propaganda
Contexte
Activists on TikTok are fighting back against Texas' new restrictive abortion law with spam.
Sean Black, who goes by @black_madness21 on TikTok, created a bot that makes it easy to submit fake tips to a "whistleblower" website created by the anti-abortion Texas Right to Life group.
As of Wednesday, it's now illegal for anyone in Texas to get an abortion after about six weeks of pregnancy, and anyone who helps a person get such an abortion — including doctors and even someone who drives a person to a clinic — could be sued for thousands of dollars. The "Pro Life Whistle Blower" website enables residents to report people for potential violations of the law.

Pourquoi est-ce un message d'influence?
Spam is a way to disrupt your opponents, and media coverage of the spam attack turns this type of information warfare into a type of propaganda.
