Twitter announced that it had shut down more than 170,000 accounts tied to the Chinese government. Experts working with Twitter who reviewed the accounts said they pushed deceptive narratives around the Hong Kong protests, Covid-19, and other topics.
The company said the accounts were"spreading geopolitical narratives favorable to the Communist Party of China" and were removed for violating its platform manipulation policies. Twitter's takedown is the latest development in Silicon Valley's attempt to thwart governments using social media platforms to push narratives in their favor. Twitter is officially blocked in China, though many people in the country are able to access it using a VPN.
"Twitter said it had identified 23,750 accounts it described as a"highly engaged core network" that were used to tweet content favorable to Beijing and a further 150,000 accounts that were used to amplify the content, for example, by retweeting content posted by core accounts.The 23,750 accounts collectively tweeted 348,608 times, according to the researchers at Stanford.
