Thought provoking comments. Let me respond:
1. The value in an "AI censorship death star" is not to censor past topics, but to censor upcoming topics in realtime. So while the data cannot be unscraped, this throws a spanner in the works for scraping going forward (which is what matters)
2. Using 2021 numbers there were around 500 million tweets per day, meaning you would need 500,000 bots in the botnet. Certainly possible to have a botnet of that size, however I suspect Twitter would be able to detect commonality in such a large botnet and disable it. But yes, possible, even though I rate it as unlikely.
3. You might be surprised with how sophisticated the state sponsored censorship apparatus is. #twitterfiles showed that AI was used by government agencies to censor Twitter under jack (npub1sg6…f63m) , so we don't have to debate this - the empirical evidence shows us that AI gets used. It's way more effective than anything ever used in the past.
