Twitter has banned more than 100 accounts that pushed the pro-Russian hashtag #IStandWithPutin for participating in “coordinated inauthentic behavior,” days after the hashtag trended on Twitter amid the invasion in Ukraine.

A Twitter spokesperson said on Friday that it is still investigating the origins and links between the accounts, and that it banned the accounts for violating its “platform manipulation and spam policy.”

The accounts with the most retweets about the hashtag on Wednesday only had a few dozen followers and used stock photos as profile pictures, which led disinformation researchers to question how the tweets went viral.

It’s an indication that Russia’s once-feared “firehose of falsehood” has been both neutralized ..........

I have reported a lot more of them than that!

2. If they stand with Putin

What are they doing on Twitter? He banned Twitter. Shouldn’t they leave in solidarity?

3. One way ban.

The troll farms are not banned, the people are banned from seeing Twitter.

Russians can't see this now:

4. "Russia's once-feared "firehose of falsehood" has been both neutralized (and drowned out...)"

Nah... they will just be more subtle and propagandist with their hashtags, trolls, and troll bots. That #IStandWithPutin nonsense was obvious low-hanging decoy fruit.

They have been at this for years which is why what happened in 2016, happened.

10. Well, that's a hundred gop accounts suspended.

Good, we don't need their kkkrap anyway.

16. As the picture above shows, you can teach a dog to use a computer, but all you get is nonsense.

12. LinkedIn is being aggressive also

They generally prefer to suggest you block the person you complain about instead of taking down the post.
But the last few days they have been taking down posts that complain that the media is making up atrocities in Ukraine, and some of the poster’s profiles are missing, meaning that their account has been terminated.

14. So, will Twitter ban Senator Graham?
