      He may be the inventor of politics for all I care, credentials are no indicator of truth.

      A claim such as this needs some data, otherwise it’s not much better than any right-wing conspiracy.

        Isn’t it obvious from his tweet that he doesn’t have data, therefore, his conclusion must be based on personal experience and input from others. Which is why he doesn’t call for twitter to be banned, but for it to be investigated.

        And regardless there have been multiple credible news stories and even US government reports on pro-Trump bot networks on twitter.

          It is obvious, you’re right. I just feel like the proper course of action wouldn’t have been a claim and a demand for an investigation. Maybe ask others for their experiences and link a petition for people to sign, should they share this feeling, and start an investigation that way.

            I feel like compiling receipts (a list of known/suspected bot accounts) and then following the paper trail would be a good idea… like Wolverine hunting down the school bomber during Civil War
