its very easy to detect and bypass poison type of tools largely because of the fact that there are far more outlets for truthful info so unless you can get everyone to buy in (with real legal liabilities) its not effective
also its possible to poison the poisoners with a certain pill that would have very real consequences for those maintaining whatever github repo/communities
