Attacks against machine learning – an overview

This is very much the same foundation of disinformation campaigns like strongarm regime propaganda or what is currently termed “fake news”. By attacking credibility itself, anything and nothing are equally valid. The problem with poisoning the well of your own personal data is that it also makes it easier to indict you on false pretenses.

I guess if enough number of people do it, it removes the ability to indict anyone.

Whatever they decide to, I believe is the GPs point. When nothing is true, everything can be “true”

However, if people are already doing something that is deemed illegal or not allowed by any given jurisdiction/site, making the pool of people to theoretically go after/ban order of magnitude(s) larger seems ideal.
