Elouina Finds Liberal Twitter Bot Network

These numbers in this audit do not make sense. I know how they determine the percentages and it is off.

I would imagine I would be counted as a fake follower of anyone I follow due to my lack of engagement on twitter other than liking things and a rare retweet.

Oh.


Damn...she was so wonderful.

I went to this Twitter Audit page. To use it, if I wanted to, among other things, see my twitter password (see about everything else) and make tweets for me', access my DMs. Oh NOOOO.

If you're like me you dont have facebook, twitter or instagram. Thus rendering the bots useless. I just call someone if i wanna talk to em. I know. Im a caveman

So...did you authorize fake followers?

That is a very odd...thing.

Lol, I only have about 5 followers. The point was how many things it wanted to access to determine if the 5 are real, lol

It would take over my entire account. Wanted my email address along with my password. I don;t think so.

I clicked out of that crazy app.

I would have rebooted.

Just to be sure.

Liberal Twitter bot networks, eh? I find that the typical newspapers and news networks run the greatest propaganda campaign on Twitter. The sheer output is extraordinary, and add on top of that their false air of credibility, it's ripe for groupthink.

I rebooted. Finally set up 2 factor authentication, had been too lazy to do so before.

I would think bot networks are of all the main political affiliations and of the minor ones as well.

Brilliant point, dear.

I knew you, particularly, would appreciate it, honey.

You know whenever i read your posts they are in that pompous English accent as you so eloquently articulated there

On topic, has me wondering if that is how the twitter and others get off the ground, while in their infancy they only have a very small number of users so they create masses of fake accounts so they look popular and peeps jump on the bandwagon. Of course once set up they use the fake accounts to steer the subjects in the desired direction.

Kewl, we all need good imaginations.

I've never read your posts so, sorry, don't have an accent to assign to you.

Although with phrases like "the twitter" and "peeps" it would probably be something Bro-esque.

oh no!

Did I walk into another reldra vs whomever moment?




Only joking reldra, love your posts!

You shouldn't tease people so much shame on you

A sniggger here and a sniggger there—they all all add up, don't they? I bet you have quite the collection.

But since we like to call out others for straying off topic, perhaps a fear of being hypocritical will steer you back on course?

a reply to: Neith

I have no idea what you're talking about.






I will say, however, that my little characterization above merely suggests how absurd to basic logic to think that arbitrary tags like "liberal" and "progressive" that are so thoughtlessly tossed about here automatically indicate dishonesty.

a reply to: LesMisanthrope

I'm sorry LesMis ... why are you talking about me?

That seems, well, fairly off-topic. I've made my point clearly.
