Even the 'entrapment' claim is BS.

'Entrapment' is when you arguably manipulate someone into doing something that they never would've done without your presence.

Unless they're arguing that the information people volunteer when they think they're talking off the record to impostors is all lies said to impress their new 'friends' there's no entrapment here.

...And really, even if they were lies to impress new friends, that in itself speaks volumes about these people.

Entrapment is authorities manipulating you to break the law and then arresting you for it. I guess I didn’t know that Twitter jail was taken literally.

If this were a police-suspect situation, tricking the suspect into admitting their crimes, such as by, I dunno, putting on a disguise and asking questions, is a perfectly legitimate tactic. The police use informants all the time who lie about who they are.

Well if you use the word 'entrapment' as a noun, and not by it's legal definition. Then yes, they have set a trap, where in the 'victim' has confessed to their crimes.

Oh, agreed, it's total BS ... but I can't think why else entrapment is there, apart from a thorough misunderstanding of the relevant law.
