fake accounts? lolz

Eh, but he still has 101 million followers vs Trumps 53 million...

reply

It is pretty ironic though that he had 2.5m fake accounts.

reply

Trump lost 400k. According to you, those were also fake accounts?

From the article, which is about the "locked accounts" being removed:

"Twitter noted on Wednesday locked accounts are different from spam and bot accounts — two other issues that have plagued the platform — in that they were usually started by “real people,” but the company is unable to verify they’re still being run by their initial creators."

You might try reading before knee-jerking, Bubba.

reply

They are either fake or dead accounts, or a combination of both.


"The announcement follows the Washington Post’s report last week that Twitter is increasingly cracking down on fake accounts, with the company suspending 70 million accounts between May and June."

I want my knees back.

Its just funny that Obama had more "fake" accounts than Trump. The irony is that Trump says everything is fake. Don't you see the humor in that?

reply

"The social media giant began Thursday removing “locked” accounts, which have been made inactive until further verification by Twitter. The move comes one day after the company announced that prominent accounts could see a “significant drop.”

Trump, perhaps the most notorious Twitter user on the planet right now, saw his follower count drop by roughly 400,000 people to 53 million followers on Thursday [...]"

"Locked accounts." Thursday. That's what this article is about. Not "fake accounts."



You can keep your knees, just watch out for the jerking.

"The announcement follows the Washington Post’s report last week that Twitter is increasingly cracking down on fake accounts, with the company suspending 70 million accounts between May and June."

Obama lost 2.5m accounts while Trump only lost 400,000.

Jerky knees would be bad in any occasion.

When it asked for a phone number is when I let my account die.

reply

I know its ridiculous. Everything has to be verified and authenticated now. Years ago you just signed up and even before that you just created a username.

reply

It's not ironic. Followers could be keeping tabs on someone. It doesn't mean they are a fan.

reply

You know what's even worse than this?

People who actually care about Twitter. Anybody who actually thinks a valid discussion or an idea can be properly articulated about anything important in only 140 characters charts pretty far to the left on the intelligence bell-curve.

reply

I'm sure he bought Twitter followers.

reply

He also bought 5 brand new houses after he left office, where did he get all that money?

reply

Most of those cost over $10m too.

reply

Source? Link?

And if it is true, that actually makes an excellent argument for Donny to reveal HIS taxes. If someone with at least some moral core like Obama can do something shady like you imply, imagine what an immoral mob boss wannabe like Trump has done!

reply

He's a criminal.
