Propaganda channel @TimesNow is using fake statistics about their hashtags while targeting private citizens.

Here's a thread with the proof 👇
#ShutDownTimesNow
1)

As per the video in tweet by @TimesNow posted at 9:24 PM, there were 817 tweets with their hashtag BadlaForKuttaBilliJibe.

The actual number of tweets at 9:24 PM was 77!!!

Even including Retweets the count is just 270

Another example :

Hashtag : #DataChorProof

Time : 10:42 PM (4th Apr)

@TimesNow's Claim : 5256

Actual number of tweets : 406

Actual including Retweets :2352

And here's the proof :

This spreadsheet has an extract of every single tweet and retweet with those hashtags covering the time period.

I challenge anyone to find a tweet with those hashtags before the cutoff time missing from this spreadsheet

Correction, the total number including retweets should be 270 but mistakenly I had specified the number of retweets 193 in the image :(
