Twitter Bot Issue:Vitalik Buterin And Sam Bankman-Proposed Fried's Fix

Sam Bankman-Fried offered a solution to

 the Twitter bots problem, which was the main focus of Elon Musk's takeover bid.

Elon Musk's much-discussed takeover attempt for Twitter was largely focused on the problem of Twitter bots. Sam Bankman-Fried, now And Vitalik Buterin, two of the most well-known figures in the cryptosphere, appear to be on something. Musk asked for information about the percentage of phoney Twitter accounts that are managed by bots earlier this year. In fact, the Tesla CEO once momentarily halted the proposed deal because of a Twitter bot issue.

A whistleblower revealed in August 2022 that Twitter had lied to regulators about spam accounts. Later, Musk charged that Facebook was withholding important information. He then halted the buyout bid due to his worries about spam accounts and a lack of openness.

To Control Spam Accounts, Sam Bankman-Fried Has A Solution

Sam Bankman-Fried proposed using on-chain social media posts to address the problem, which may turn out to be a crypto use case. He suggested charging a modest amount of gas for each communication to deter the use of bots and bogus accounts. He also point out that this is merely one method for containing and addressing the issue. Social media networks were previously described by SBF as "isolated" and "not interoperable." He tweeted about the potential of messaging on a blockchain in July 2022.

Vitalik Buterin: Cost-free Consensus Messaging

In response to SBF's suggestion for on-chain social media message, Vitalik Buterin expanded on the concept. He recommended that if the message is received well, the message sender should be permitted to cut costs. By doing this, spam accounts would be effectively eliminated without negatively affecting genuine users. Conditional burning, as Buterin dubbed it, enables free messaging if the recipient is satisfied.
