“Twitter’s radically reduced anti-propaganda team grappled on Sunday with a flood of nuisance content in China that researchers said was aimed at reducing the flow of news about stunning widespread protests against coronavirus restrictions,” the Washington Post reports.

“Numerous Chinese-language accounts, some dormant for months or years, came to life early Sunday and started spamming the service with links to escort services and other adult offerings alongside city names.l

“The result: For hours, anyone searching for posts from those cities and using the Chinese names for the locations would see pages and pages of useless tweets instead of information about the daring protests as they escalated to include calls for Communist Party leaders to resign.”

2. Seeing how he is now,

he might be proud of something like that. I didn't know much about him, politically, before he made Twitter into a place where Nazis are openly celebrated. He is deranged.

4. He is obsessed with that word.

He acts like a preteen boy with no self control.
