https://arstechnica.com/information...etwork-of-5000-possibly-saudi-pro-trump-bots/ Twitter shuts down 5,000 pro-Trump bots retweeting anti-Mueller report invective Bots were tied to account formerly used for pro-Saudi messaging. Twitter has suspended over 5,000 accounts tied to a network amplifying a message denouncing the report by Special Counsel Robert Mueller as a "RussiaGate hoax." According to a researcher, the accounts—most of which had only posted three or four times in the past—were connected to other accounts previously used to post pro-Saudi messages. In response to an inquiry by Ars, a Twitter spokeswoman said, "We suspended a network of accounts and others associated with it for engaging in platform manipulation—a violation of the Twitter Rules." An investigation into the network is still ongoing, the spokeswoman said, but no determination has yet been made about who was behind the campaign. "In cases such as this, attribution is difficult," the spokeswoman noted. "If we do have reasonable evidence to support state-backed activity, we will disclose the accounts as part of our information operations archive." (This archive is the data repository used to reveal operations of networks previously tied to election manipulation and other state-backed information operations.) https://www.thedailybeast.com/trump...ey-over-follower-count-in-white-house-meeting Twitter CEO Gently Tells Trump: Your ‘Lost’ Followers Are Bots and Spam Accounts Jack Dorsey may have wanted to use Tuesday’s meeting to talk up Twitter’s efforts to fight the opioid epidemic, but the president had more important things on his mind. On Tuesday, President Trump hosted Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey in the Oval Office for a closed-door meeting, during which the leader of the free world spent an inordinate amount of time complaining about lost Twitter followers, according to a source familiar with the conversation. The Twitter chief, for his part, tried to reassure the president that the company’s staff merely wants his follower count to be as bot-free as possible. This is what the most powerful person in the world was preoccupied with Tuesday. A large percentage of the meeting, which included senior White House officials such as Trump’s social media director Dan Scavino, was spent addressing the subject of @realDonaldTrump’s follower count. The president stated his belief that he had lost some of his roughly 59 million followers in anti-Trump, anti-conservative Twitter purges, according to a source familiar with the meeting. Dorsey, according to this knowledgeable source, had to explain to the president that like other Twitter users, @realDonaldTrump periodically loses followers when the site deletes fake or bot accounts. Dorsey even said he himself had lost followers as a result of Twitter’s efforts to delete fake accounts.

You really don't understand the importance of timing. Obama's actions AFTER the horse is out of the barn and the election is over don't mean shyt. When he became aware of what was going on he choked. Maybe on purpose maybe not. Perhaps he needs to be subpoenaed to answer for his lack of action.
Obama should've never acquiesced to traitorous cons https://www.washingtonpost.com/worl...d324840106c_story.html?utm_term=.dcd62d7805f6 According to several officials, McConnell raised doubts about the underlying intelligence and made clear to the administration that he would consider any effort by the White House to challenge the Russians publicly an act of partisan politics.
