The fact that people take fake Antifa accounts seriously is concerning.
With fake antifa accounts outnumbering the real ones, it's bound to happen from time to time. Letting the press know when they've been duped seems like a very good thing, since fake antifa then become the story.
How could it not happen? Without any sort of central authority and planning mechanism to denounce or endorse actions this is the inevitable outcome.
