Twitter suspends 70 pro-Bloomberg accounts, citing 'platform manipulation'

Michael R. Bloomberg’s presidential campaign has been experimenting with novel tactics to cultivate an online following, or at least the appearance of one.

But one of these strategies — deploying a large number of Twitter accounts to push out identical messages — has backfired. On Friday, Twitter began suspending 70 accounts posting pro-Bloomberg content in a pattern that violates company rules.

“We have taken enforcement action on a group of accounts for violating our rules against platform manipulation and spam,” a Twitter spokesman said. Some of the suspensions will be permanent, while in other cases account owners will have to verify they have control of their accounts.

Thought foreign governments interfering was the worst that could happen? Now any billionaire will be able to create their own Internet Research Agency & spread disinformation. Doesn't get more dishonest and despicable than that.

But someone need to supervise facebook. It’s where the shady stuffs came from, fooling all the older folks there.
