I just read today that the FBI was in the process of shutting down a botnet series of fake accounts on "X":

the FBI said that it had identified 968 accounts after an unnamed �U.S. government agency� tipped it off to the inner workings of RT and its alleged cooperation with an FSB official in setting up the network. Per a statement, X moved to shut down the accounts while the DOJ seized two domain names related to the network.

Their statement is here: [justice.gov...]

I'm also seeing fewer of my contacts posting.

I�m seeing far less of the Twitterbot. It used to be a sign that someone had posted a link--and, surprisingly, never to any especially fluffy content. Apparently, grownups used to tweet on Serious Academic Subjects.

Well i think it's better since he took over. He's introduced some good features.

> it had identified 968 accounts

One agency finding less than 1,000 accounts, well, it's a start, but woefully short on the true numbers.

>Apparently, grownups used to tweet on Serious Academic Subjects.

That's what i'm finding, The "serious" content is either drowned out, or it's no longer being posted.

>Well i think it's better since he took over. He's introduced some good features.

I guess it depends on what you're after. I didn't see a wink on that, so I assume you have different requirements from twitter X.

I suspect he's cut resources so much that the scammers are getting free reign. I experimented with reporting obvious scammers and it's made no difference: The scammers are still there plying their trade.
