        How does this prove anything if using an emulator to bulk register bot accounts? Also, Signal Desktop is a thing.

          For each account you register, you have to do 30 seconds worth of work. So to register one account, you do 30 seconds worth of work. To register 100 accounts, you do 100*30 or 3000 seconds (50 minutes) worth of work. Registering tens of thousands of accounts then becomes unfeasible.

            And how can a VM or emulator NOT do this?
