How Kremlin accounts manipulate Twitter
One of the prime sources for fake news on Twitter comes straight from the Kremlin’s network of Twitter accounts. …
Intrigued by this spider web of Russian government accounts, Mr Graham – who specialises in analysing co-ordinated activity on social media – decided to investigate further. He analysed 75 Russian government Twitter profiles which, in total, have more than 7 million followers. The accounts have received 30 million likes, been retweeted 36 million times and been replied to 4 million times.
