Twitter did a bot purge... lo and behond conservative lost tons of followers and now they are complaining to the high heavens about censorship. :lol:
Conservative Twitter Users Lose Thousands of Followers, Mass Purge of Bots Suspected
Twitter suspended thousands of accounts overnight and conservatives on the platform aren’t happy about it. Twitter has yet to make a public statement about the issue, but right-wing users believe that they’re being targeted in a mass purge of suspected Russian bot accounts.
Conservative Twitter has even started a hashtag called #TwitterLockOut to talk about the purge, with some claiming that real people (as opposed to bots) were locked out of their accounts. Gizmodo has so far been unable to confirm that any real people have had their accounts mistakenly suspended.
