Talk:Resistbot

Untitled

I am considering adding a few sections to this article. I would add more about its history and founder. Additionally more about its functions and some photos of how it works. I would consider adding from these sources, some of which have already been used but have more to offer. https://www.teenvogue.com/story/resistbot-faxes-texts-to-senators

How Can Services Such as Resistbot Impact Future Elections?

Having only been around since 2017, Resistbot has made significant inroads into the political landscape, which sparks the question, can such services impact the outcome of elections? What stands out about Resistbot is the fact that it is convenient to use and voices concerns instantaneously. With government officials receiving these complaints so quickly, the citizens are able to directly see whether their concerns are being heard, and what action is being taken with regards to them. With the government officials more in the spotlight due to these services, individuals are able to clearly see if the situation is being handled to their liking, which could impact their voting decisions. Therefore, as these services become more popular, they will have a greater impact of people's votes and thus directly affect the result of elections. Abdmohsin08 (talk) 05:44, 30 August 2021 (UTC)

Comparison of views/Legitimacy concerns

Resistbot article: things to contribute: Many people at first think that Resistbot is a scam; the messages sent out have a simple format that displays the convenience factor of using Resistbot which makes people question the legitimacy of the actual program. In the article below Resistbot legitimacy is questioned and investigated; we learn that there are lots of contrasting viewpoints when regarding its efficiency and honesty as a company. In another article listed, we can see how Resistbot is being reformed and used in current-day election practices, specifically; we also see how the texts can easily be converted to votes for specific political action performed by representatives. To go into further detail, I can compare the contrasting views and opinions relating to Resistbot, both sides have opposing arguments relating to the legitimacy and application of the program.

Peer Review (by Justin Crouch)

My peer review regards what is added on the talk page, as I did not see anything in the sand box.

- In the first section, the statement "What stands out about Resistbot is the fact that it is convenient to use and voices concerns instantaneously." is overtly on the side of resistbot, and could be turned into a more neutral statement.

- From what you have in the comparison of views section, it appears that you are leaning to describe the positive impacts of resistbot despite its negative spotlight, but in order to ensure that the article remains neutral, information that describe its negative effects/attributes would be beneficial.

- The information put is well constructed, but from reading your contributions it feels that you are trying to persuade the reader to be in favor of resistbot, by removing this tone the article would be well constructed without any bias. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Justin.tsubasa (talk • contribs) 03:12, 12 October 2021 (UTC)
