Well, well, well...
I've been checking twitter accounts for a long time now, & have only ever seen two accounts with more than 40% fake followers: Jacob Rees-Mogg, & now Laura Kuenssberg.
Laura has over HALF A MILLION FAKE FOLLOWERS!
WHY? HOW?
#TorySleaze?
#ToryCorruption?

Of Laura's sample of followers
23% inactive & not tweeted for 120+ days
36% aged 365+ days have very low number of tweets
36% sent an abnormally large volume of tweets each day
50% follow an unusually small number of accounts
64% have a suspiciously small number of followers

As @nickclegg & @Twitter claims to be deeply concerned about the rise of 'fake news', disinformation & misinformation spread on its platform, why on earth doesn't @TwitterSupport monitor & take more action about 'fake followers' & their role in weakening & undermining democracy?
