    Hrm, so… There is a chat bot installed in Line that monitors all incoming messages and inserts itself when it it’s triggered by something said in a private conversation?

    As much as I want disinformation fought I’m extremely wary of this approach.

      It looks like it’s just a bot you have to invite into your chat: https://checkcheck.me/en/

      This isn’t like Discord’s Clyde that sometimes just pops up to put the app’s internal messages into a conversation style chat, this is a chatbot by an independent company.

      I don’t think I’d want this bot to listen in on DMs, but this doesn’t seem all that harmful in most group chats I participate in.
