And the next one in Jon's-researching-earlier-Coronavirus-socialmedia-stories...

Remember that one with @jdpoc claiming there were 128 fake pro-NHS Twitter accounts? What actually happened to that?
The folks at @FullFact have a write up here:
fullfact.org/online/evidenc…

It even got debated in Parliament - asking Twitter to remove ticks from Verified accounts RTing it
The original tweet has 24500 retweets, and is still up:


Hundreds of "these claims are categorically false" tweets are also still up:
twitter.com/search?q=%22th…
Is that it?

There was just, in the end, 1 dubious fake account? Or am I missing something?

Looking back over the story from a month ago of ERC's chief scientist Mauro Ferrari resigning

The way this was handled makes me really annoyed
The FT drove a lot of the coverage

This was its first story late Tue 7 April, updated on Wed 8 April

The FT was also happy to just carry Ferrari's statement

FT then followed up with this one later 8 April, which gives the other side too

Really, what is it about Von Der Leyen?

There's always this sort of whiff of behaving badly. Not like a sort of stench of a massive 💩 of corruption, more a smell of unpleasantness that does not go away.
She gets the firm Story Machine involved to get accounts for her verified while in the process to become Commission President


Why you need a firm to do this is beyond me. Twitter sorted that for me in a couple of days, and I am just a low life blogger.
But the firm Story Machine is run by former Bild editor Kai Diekmann, and apparently now the Commission President is paying them for advice... out of her own pocket

Special-don't-care-award to the mother on inline skates with a 2 kids on inline skates, 1 on either side, going slow, blocking a whole cycle path 👏
Too-hipster-for-my-own-good award to the father on his slick fixie, too busy trying to look cool that pedestrians are having to take evasive action as his toddler careers towards them on his bike 👏
