Twitter Suspending 70 Pro-Bloomberg Accounts

Michael R. Bloomberg’s presidential campaign has been experimenting with novel tactics to cultivate an online following, or at least the appearance of one.

But one of these strategies — deploying a large number of Twitter accounts to push out identical messages — has backfired. On Friday, Twitter began suspending 70 accounts posting pro-Bloomberg content in a pattern that violates company rules.

Or better yet, just buy controlling interest in Twitter ... market cap is only $30B ... fuck it ... and buy Fox News while you're at it ...
