So they are going to suspend the 800m accounts that belong to real people, so that no one will be able to stop their manipulation attempts?

    jup, offend the right accounts. digitally disappear from 'their' site. fun way out. bot accounts probably masquerade as click-bots broadcasting weather reports, spamming slop etc. clicking ads to inflate ad revenue or spread disinfo. crude but effective. the efforts are amazing if they weren't so annoying. think facebook axed my account because i blocked too many bots/ads, for years though. tw showed me the door in a few months. interfering in their schemes
