They need to be raided
Thats been me, the past few months, every time I point out Twitters ridiculous methodology for identifying spooky russian super hackers
A company that does data analytics on passive harvested personal information from an uncaring public is trying to do adversarial cybersecurity, thinking they can identify malicious actors based solely on if they've ever once used Cyrillic and tweeted '#ReleaseTheMemo", as if any actual russian agents would take zero effort to cover their tracks. Actually of course, Twitter isn't actually trying to identify bots because they're not
that stupid, they're just giving themselves a veneer of legitimacy as they manually curate trending topics and spread propaganda and try to micromanage the political discourse. Inverse hanlons razor, their incompetence is just a mask for their maliciousness.
