1/ Yesterday I analyzed over a thousand fake followers bulk following pro-Palestinian organizations and activists. Twitter deleted over 1000. However, ppl reported that it was continuing. I analysed more followers, and found 600+ fakes @AliAbunimah @hzomlot & @NaeemJeenah 
2/ As you can see, 332 were created on April 29, and 324 created today - April 30. These are accounts that have NOT been deleted, so remember that the total number before Twitter suspended accounts yesterday was much higher. #disinformation #Palestine
3/ The average account creation time is, at times, one per minute. That's a lot, but bear in mind again the actual number is much higher if we include deleted accounts. Yesterday it was over 3 accounts per minute! It seems to be a constant process over 24 hours, again suggesting
4/ automation or a large, non-stop manual operation. The bios in the accounts are multilingual, but most of the remaining accounts have Arabic bios. Not sure if this means more were just created, or Twitter aren't as good at filtering out Arabic- language bio accounts.
5/ So yes, it appears that the accounts are still being created - for unclear purposes but as I mentioned yesterday, my concern is that they are there to target pro-Palestinian accounts. Don't limit your account though, that only benefits the censors!
