Well I did a quick chart of the Pete stan accounts + creation dates. Looked at 79 total accounts, 2 suspended, 2 deleted. 21 accounts were created before the official campaign launch April 14, 2019.

So less than 100 accounts, labeled as Pete fan accounts... meh 🤷🏻‍♀️
There's a website where people can sign up to be digital captains and the form has a box for "if you run a Pete fan account (ie Rural Voters 4 Pete or Colorado4Pete)" so it's possible Pete supporters signed up, saw that and made fan accounts afterwards. secure.peteforamerica.com/onlineactions/…
For scale, there were 92K new Bolivian accounts created in one month in 2019, 25,564 new accounts in *one day* (Nov 11, 2019) so I dunno... is 79 fan accounts since March 2019 a big deal? Maybe I'm just becoming jaded.
A decent write up about the Pete stan accounts: dailydot.com/layer8/pete-bu… (lol @ the featured image)

"Bots today have more believable online profiles, more advanced conversational skills and appear to be legitimate users embedded in human networks." - Washington Post

Can someone point me to some research that proves bots have more advanced conversational skills.
To clarify my question: I'm looking for some specific research that proves the statement that bots "appear to be legitimate users embedded in human networks" and are having advanced conversations with people. I'm interpreting it literally because that's how WaPo presented it.
Again I will clarify, I didn’t ask if it’s possible, or what already exists that might be comparable. I’m asking for proven examples that WaPo’s statement is accurate. Seems people are having trouble telling the difference between ‘could it happen’ and ‘did it happen’

“In more than 6 years of spying on Muslim neighborhoods, eavesdropping on conversations and cataloguing mosques, the NYPD’s secret Demographics Unit never generated a lead or triggered a terrorism investigation.”

#Bloomberg defended this shit. #DemDebate theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…
The Demographics Unit, built with help from the CIA, assembled databases on where Muslims lived, shopped, worked & prayed. Police infiltrated Muslim student groups, put informants in mosques, monitored sermons & catalogued every Muslim in NY who adopted new Americanized surnames.
They used census data

According to my fb memories, it's the anniversary of a disinfo campaign that a lot of MSM took part in but never retracted. Remember the supposed blocked bridge on the Venezuela/Colombia border? The bridge that was never actually opened or used? Well.
What's the difference between a disinfo campaign spread on social media and a PR stunt arranged by politicians or political operatives?

The PR stunt is guaranteed to make big news headlines in MSM, sometimes in multiple languages, and less likely to be debunked.
Also from my fb memories today and same energy tbh. Every disinfo expert on this hell website can push back on professional PR campaigns but it's never gonna be a fair fight.

From a guy who has good sources that have proven themselves in the past to be accurate.

This is the only type of article whee the reporter sometimes uses anonymously sourced reporting that I will ever quote:

johnsolomonreports.com/the-10-most-im…
"One of Horowitz’s earlier investigative reports that recommended fired FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe for possible prosecution put an uncomfortable spotlight on the bureau’s culture of news leaks."

It's still claimed Horowitz has NEVER referred anybody for prosecution.
If you don't even know what Horowitz has or hasn't done in the past regarding referring top federal officials for criminal prosecution, why should I take your predictions for the FISA report seriously?

Thread:

In February, Buttigieg was saying Medicare for All is the "compromise position", "center of the debate" since it's a public payer & private doctors.

Now, he's running attack ads against Warren & Bernie because Medicare for All is “polarizing”, & “dictates” to Americans
In Feb, Buttigieg argued that a "very disciplined right wing message machine" caricatured Obamacare as left wing.

Now, he's joining the disciplined insurance industry message machine to characterize his Dem competitors as authoritarian, with attack ads.

In April, New York Times reported that Pete Buttigieg attended dinners with billionaire financier and megadonor Bernard Schwartz where 'how to stop Bernie' was a topic of conversation.

1/ Here’s a 🧵 of all the endorsements I’ve found for @PeteButtigieg, organized chronologically. If I accidentally omit anyone, I’ll add them at the end. I’ll also add new endorsements as they’re announced.
Thank you, endorsers!
HURRAY FOR #TeamPete!
#Pete2020
#PeteEndorsements
2/ I believe @SteveGrossmanMA became the first to endorse #Pete2020, on 4/11. He is a former DNC Chair, former Massachusetts State Treasurer, and current CEO of the Initiative for a Competitive Inner City, a non-profit that trains inner-city entrepreneurs.

3/ Grossman called Pete “a Midwestern, down-to-earth, smart, savvy, in-touch candidate” who can flip industrial states. “My concern is the future of the US... I think Pete has the capacity to be the beacon for an awful lot of people who really feel a deep, deep sense of concern.”

Please read the whole thread - will start posting now...but eating dinner so will take a while to get the 30 to 40 tweets done

/1
Given the two crashes in one year and the recent #FANG blow up...how much cash do you think Mutual Funds are holding? How about the lowest ever!

More over their allocations to Stocks remain among the highest ever.

/2
And how are those stock/equity investments postured?

We’ll very precariously as #NYSE and #Nasdaq #Composite show...completely stopped at major resistance...not only that there is the breadth question which we will address later and is terrible
