Debunking @geoffgolberg fake research with false numbers and facts about Iranian hashtag #weSupportPolandsSummit

In his first tweet @geoffgolberg claims he pulled 5.5k tweets from tweeter about #weSupportPolandsSummit and 6.6k twitter accounts tweeted or were mentioned in these tweets. This tells us nothing about the hashtag been gamed or filled with bots.

Without any reasonable and technical arguments and just with dropping 2 graphs and a list of twitter accounts with daily rate tweets he claims the hashtag was filled/promoted "gamed" by bots.🧐

I made my own research and pulled 15.2K tweets from twitter and came across 2946 different accounts which tweeted actively on hashtag #WeSupportPolandSummit. This means 3X larger data than @geoffgolberg pulled from twitter.

@geoffgolberg assembled a list of 347 accounts which he claims are bots.
His main arguments is the high daily tweet rate of these accounts
His daily tweet rate with 6.3561 tweets per day is higher than 89 accounts on his claimed bot list.😂Almost 1/3 of bots are less bot than him

I compared his list with my data to find out how many times these accounts posted a tweet on hashtag #WeSupportPolandSummit. If they were bots they should have a high number of tweets. But the result shows the opposite.

Almost 189 accounts of Geoff's list tweeted less than 10 tweets and 86 accounts less than 20 tweets and so on.
54.47% less than 10 Tweets
24.7% less than 20 Tweets
12.97% less than 30 Tweets
8.35% less than 50 Tweets
1.153% more than 100 Tweets
P.S:The RTs are not included

Fun facts about @geoffgolberg bots list:
There are at least 3 verified users on his list, @realDonaldTrump (the president of US), @SecPompeo (70th U.S. Secretary of @StateDept) and @SGhasseminejad member of FDD.😂😂😂

@SGhasseminejad has posted just one tweet on hashtag #weSupportPolandsSummit with that fact he fits in the category of lazy bots. 😂😂😂

There are also 2 Polish high rank politicians on his list:
@MorawieckiM and @AndrzejDuda. These to Polish politicians did not even tweet a single tweet on #WeSupportPolandSummit but still on his bots list.
Isn't it nice?😂😂

Another account on his list is @parviz_khazaei based on this account bio he is an amnesty employee and constantly reporting HR abuse in Iran. The fact that this account daily tweet rate is high is bc of Iranian regime's high rate of crimes. Not his fault.

Why did @geoffgolberg publish such ridiculous fabricated report?
With a simple look we can find his main political intention.
All Iranian regime dictatorship mouthpiece retweeted his fake report in a short time without the simplest look at his bullshits.

This is not the end of his disastrous fake report, short after Fars News Agency linked and run by IRGC uses his report as an evidence to prove the their own politics and agenda.
PS: Fars News is a state run news agency belonging to the Iranian dictatorship.

But this is not a new thing for us Iranians. Last year as the hashtag #IranRegimeChange sparked on twitter a self called net researcher @Ammir published a report with full of flaws to prove that the hashtag was boosted by bots. In short time his report was republished by Shargh

The only fact about the hashtag #weSupportPolandsSummit is its high rate of retweets which is a bit to high. 90%. Even though this simple fact doesn't prove that is "gamed" by bots.

Conclusion:
The report of @geoffgolberg has no technical value and is just a political motivated report in favor of the Iranian regime lobbyist
Never believe any report with just some clueless numbers and graphs without proofing their claims
@geoffgolberg added to Iran lobby list

And this is @geoffgolberg response my research, numbers and facts.
