        I would like some details as to the methods used to determine which accounts are bots. That would clear up the conspiracy pretty quick. How bout it @Twitter

        There are a number of tools out there that use device fingerprinting, user behavioral analytics, etc. to detect real users against bots. Whether developed internally or contracted by a 3rd party like perimeterX, etc.

        Just looking for a little bit of linguistic precision. Right wing racists are not "conservative" whether they are on twitter or not.

        Well they need their #Bots to spread hate and disinformation..must be sad to lose their microphone..The rest of us thank Twitter and most of us (including me) haven't lost a single follower. So sad for them.
