Benefit claimant bashing

There are seemingly thread after thread at the moment bashing benefit claimants. Given the Tories current campaign shaming/blaming disabled and benefit claimants in the lead up to the general election the timing of this is pretty suss. Please can MN take a look at these threads and make sure they are genuine posters and it's not part of some underhand political campaigning. We all know that politicians have used social media to influence voting/elections in the past.

Accept the many threads may be as a result of the campaigns as opposed to part of it but I feel this use of social media should be guarded against for fairly obvious reasons. I am sure MN wouldn't want its users to be manipulated in this way.

Many thanks

Hi OP

Thanks for raising this. We posted this on another thread in site stuff: we expect to see an increase in threads about PIP because it’s in the news. Please remember to report anything you think we should see - we're always happy to take a look.

We think your concerns stem from a poster's intentions - so just to reassure you, we would look at the thread on a surface level and we'd also take a look behind the scenes to check if a poster is here with good intentions. By doing that, we'd soon spot anything that wasn't genuine and remove it.
