I paid $3.99 to run a follower audit on @OANN today: estimated 96% real. A fun data science activist act will be to watch if that changes.

Note to my data science/tech followers: if you're politically angry but not sure how to contribute, these are the kinds of things you can do

Help build tools and do analysis that holds our media and our politicians accountable and fight against gaslighting and abuse.

Looking at how TwitterAudit determines fake users, I'm not sure it catches the prolific Russian trollbots we're seeing.
-
Perhaps not. Hard to say. Catches a few million Trump followers tho.
-
It catches the kind of fake users that inflate follower count, but doesn't catch trollbots who are paid to propagate memes.

I kind of want to build a tool that uses media tab as a heuristic for detecting bots.https://twitter.com/exdli/status/820299446701289473 …
