Sealioning information

Sealioning (also sea-lioning and sea lioning) is a type of trolling or harassment that consists of pursuing people with relentless requests for evidence, often tangential or previously addressed, while maintaining a pretense of civility and sincerity ("I'm just trying to have a debate"), and feigning ignorance of the subject matter.^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4] It may take the form of "incessant, bad-faith invitations to engage in debate",^[5] and has been likened to a denial-of-service attack targeted at human beings.^[6] The term originated with a 2014 strip of the webcomic Wondermark by David Malki,^[7] which The Independent called "the most apt description of Twitter you'll ever see".^[8]
