And then there's the challenge of "Hmm, if I'm a PR firm hired by Maxwell, what can I do? I know, we'll hire a bunch of sock puppets. And then we'll report the account!"
If so, I want BrooklynDad_Defiant, the Palmer Report, Duty to Warn, the Gravel Institute, and ReallyAmerican1 removed immediately. There is no way these folks always manage to be at the top of every trend organically.
100% agree. It sure is funny how these accounts are always surfaced as the first reply. Especially with that BrooklynDad account. It was always the first hot take reply to any Trump tweet.
Of course BitwiseFool and I have no proof beyond our observations so please don't ask for proof of Twitters internal workings. Note we have no proof of why this Maxwell trial account was suspended other than twitters word. They provided us with no data or proof. This is very common now. Folks take the word of tech companies as hard fact and any other speculation is not allowed.
Any twitter employee want to use a throwaway account to set the record straight? Doubt it.
Or for being a part of a network that was doing so. I suspect that it is more likely that they were just part of a system that was promoting tweets and reposting material
