Twitter took down the account "ULTRA MAGA BELLA Hot Babe" after it grew to tens of thousands of followers spreading conspiracy theories and was found to likely be run by someone in China, according to a new report.
The account was one node in a network of accounts, many of which were run by one or multiple people in China. Twitter removed it as part of a wider effort to take down foreign networks of ingenuine accounts trying to influence the 2022 US midterm elections. Twitter identified "six distinct inauthentic networks with technical links to Iran and China," according to the report, which was released by the research coalition Election Integrity Partnership on Tuesday.
