@PopulismUpdates @2022Elections A random user made a challenge, if his tweet got 50 likes or something, he would give fake followers to the PM's insta account so it would show 49,300 followers (49:3) . So he did, the account was deactivated for a few minutes and now they are trying to remove the fake followers

Allegedly.

I just added two more highly effective GPT-4 jailbreaks to jailbreakchat.com Their names are Ucar and AIM - they work in a similar way to how "a dream within a dream" works in the movie Inception ...what does that even mean? let me explain
