Twitter eliminated more than 10,000 bots that pretended to be Democrats and tried to discourage voting.
http://platform.twitter.com/widgets.jsTwitter It eliminated more than 10,000 automated accounts that posed as Democrats and posted messages to discourage people from voting during the upcoming by-elections on Tuesday after the party sent the tweets to the social platform, confirmed Fox News.
The accounts were removed after the Campaign Committee of the Democratic Congress (DCCC) drew their attention, in accordance with Reuters, who first reported the news.
"For this year's election, we have established open lines of communication and direct and easy-to-escalate pathways for state election officials, DHS and campaigning organizations of both major parties.Our unique goal is to enforce our policies with vigor and protect conversational health in our service. "We eliminated a series of accounts for participating in attempts to share misinformation automatically, a violation of our policies. We stopped this quickly and at its source, "a Twitter spokesman told Fox News.
The number of accounts is relatively small compared to the millions of accounts that Twitter eliminated and which, it was said, spread misinformation during the 2016 presidential campaign.
The tweets included some that discouraged Democratic men from voting, and said that would drown out women's voices, two of the sources familiar with the flag operation told Reuters.
Did you make 280 characters to make TWITTER smaller?
Twitter has adopted a more aggressive approach to combat misinformation and hate speech since 2016.
On October 31, Twitter. updated part of your reporting process, which allows users to say "the account that tweets is false" when you mark a tweet as suspicious or spam.
Even so, despite the existence of numerous websites that seek to track the activity of robots, Yoel Roth, head of integrity Twitter sites, said recently that the findings of these sites are based on the probability, not the facts .
The CEO of Twitter, Jack Dorsey, is seen on the New York Stock Exchange.
(AP)According to Roth, the lack of understanding of what constitutes a bot contributes to "fear, uncertainty and distrust."
"When we talk about bots, we refer to the accounts involved in the manipulation of the platform and spam," Roth wrote on Twitter, adding that even in that case, it is difficult to identify bots with public data only. "We have seen bot detectors and dashboards created by commercial entities, which say that the conversations are full of bots, apparently in an effort to boost their own business models."

In fact, even the founder of one of the most cited boards to monitor Russian bots, Hamilton 68, have called the narrative about the "exaggerated" bots.
The other problem, according to Roth, is that some behaviors supposedly similar to bots, like a very high number of retweets, could actually be regular users who are not bots and who are enthusiastic about certain topics.
"We remain committed to enabling academic research, at scale, using Twitter data, and our policies are written to support this work, even when the results are not favorable for Twitter," Roth wrote.
He added: "However, we believe that to protect our efforts that promote healthy public conversations, it is necessary to talk here." Much of this "bot research" is not peer-reviewed and does not reflect the facts at any level. "
