A bunch of troll accounts followed me in rapid succession. Wtf?

I discovered why. Thank you to my anonymous friends who alerted me to this. Including threats of violence. @TwitterSupport @TwitterSafety @Twitter

And a brand new troll account shows up in the replies.

By the way, this is the same guy (Hong Kong Phooey- @TwitterCanada has suspended him multiple times) who showed up to @cathmckenna’s office, threatening her staff & uttering vile threats to her. @csiscanada @rcmpgrcpolice

By the way, all of these accounts are part of the same troll network that swarmed me for days when I called it out.

Jeezus these people are dim. I literally name the account I was referring to ( the Hong Kong Phooey account), and he posts as if I was talk about him. Just a cesspool of toxicity.

The stupidity just keeps on coming…
In order to keep his falsehoods going, he keeps claiming I think he & Hong Kong Phooey are the same guy. This guy manufactures one falsehood after another then just keeps repeating them…and a bunch of other trolls join in.

Oh the public posturing of this guy. 🙄

A quick analysis of just a couple of the accounts that replied. (PS thank you to my friend - I won’t name you - for providing me with these screenshots, I really appreciate your support). Let’s take this one “Navy Brat”. The account began in Jan/22 & has tweeted over 72,800 times

That means the account puts out somewhere around a whopping 270 tweets per day. Making it almost certainly what is known as a cyborg account. Part human handler, part bot.

Another is an account that started yesterday and is already suspicious.

Same account as in previous tweet.

Another account in circle 1 (primary interaction) of the previous accounts. #CdnDisinfo
