Twitter deletes over 10,000 accounts that sought to discourage US voting
Twitter deleted more than 10,000 automated accounts posting messages that discouraged people from voting in the 2018 midterm election and wrongly appeared to be from Democrats, after the party flagged the misleading tweets to the social media company. “We took action on relevant accounts and activity on Twitter,” a Twitter spokesman said. The removals took place in late Sept and early Oct. Twitter removed more than 10,000 accounts, according to three sources familiar with the Democrats’ effort.
