You joke but, given the religious/sectarian nature of the issue, all it does is empower one sect to act against the leaders of the other sect.

Check the twitter link, you won't have to scroll much to find a mullah being blasted for blasphemy. No one is safe.

Well, then target dead people. Find someone who died 6 months ago, have AI make them a blasphemer, have the sect look for dead people. After the third or fourth time, they'll stop. Not because they want to stop, but because they don't trust this being another prank by Mullah Achmed the Fool.

Just like how you are the traffic, you are also the mob

Mobs are not formal organisations with leadership and membership dues.

Mobs are general everyday people who are sick and tird of this miserable life and need an excuse to rabble and rouse.

So in this case, fake dead person's blasphemy will only be channeled towards their family members, mobs just need an excuse to get crazy.

AI is not what causes mobs, it just helps lower the incitement barrier by providing quality bait.

> fake dead person's blasphemy will only be channeled towards their family members

More alternatives: fake full persons. The mobs will be confused when they are directed to hunt down someone with a family name in a neighbor where no one has that family name. Furthermore, send them to the car repair shop between the coffee shop and the market in a street with no car shops, markers and coffee shops.

In every group there are leaders (even informal ones, like that woman that shares nonstop all the bullshit to her 347 facebook friends).

Make them into fools.

- Stone the blasphemer!

- Who? The one that died las year? The one that died in the war in '94? The one that left 4 years ago? Don't you have anything better to do other than fooling yourself and spreading more rumors?

Doesn't make it any less dangerous while the mass is being vaccinated against bullshitters.
