Twitter suspends 70 Bloomberg-boosting accounts for violating company policy

Twitter is reportedly suspending 70 accounts, some of which are backed by Michael Bloomberg’s campaign, that have posted identical messages in support of the Democrat’s presidential bid, calling the content “platform manipulation.”

The Los Angeles Times examined the accounts and alerted Twitter, who on Friday determined the posts violated company policy and said they would begin suspending the profiles.

A portion of accounts are operated by Bloomberg campaign workers — called “deputy field organizers” — who pump out pro-Bloomberg content across social media networks, including Twitter, for $2,500 a month, the report said.

One identical post shared by at least four different accounts directs users to a recent pro-Bloomberg tweet by singer Barbra Streisand.

“A President Is Born: Barbra Streisand sings Mike’s praises. Check out her tweet,” the post reads.

Twitter told The Times: “We have taken enforcement action on a group of accounts for violating our rules against platform manipulation and spam.”

The platform manipulation and spam policy that was violated was implemented by Twitter last September.

Twitter got the order from the Deep State: Bloomberg cannot gain any more traction.

He loses the women's vote, which for Democrats is akin to losing plasma.

””Twitter told The Times: “We have taken enforcement action on a group of accounts for violating our rules against platform manipulation and spam.”“

That’s peculiar, Media Matters and MoveOn have years on publicized platform manipulation execution behind them and remain untouched and even amplified.

It’s too bad the Los Angeles Times didn’t have the same investigative fervor when they instead decided to suppress the video tape of Obama praising PLO terrorist, Rashid Khalidi, back in 2003.

That’s just the ones they discovered.

They’ll never match the Russians.

I guess Twitter isn’t falling for the “Bloomberg is democrat” tag. I guess once a Republican always a Republican to them.

This is going to be really interesting because as it looks now, Bloombergs campaign is over. He’s got too much dirt and not enough support, so what we are facing here is the real possibility a blatant hardcore communist - Bernie Sanders - could be the Rats nominee lol lol. I don’t think they will push him aside this time because it will tick off his supporters plus they really don’t have anyone that could obviously beat Trump. This is too much, we are going to have a Stalinist running against Trump.

In other words, the "community" wants Bernie the commie.

Sigh. Trump will not allow Bernie to avoid debate. It will be like the old MTV claymation thing- ? Celebrity Knock Down

The absurdity -and people will tune in. The Dems will freak. It won’t be like the current democrat primary debates where the competition is bad sitcoms.

The world will watch. Trump will -joyfully dismantle the democrat ideal of your be ruled and impoverished by us while we rulers live in wealth gained by shredding the constitution.

"70 accounts, some of which are backed by Michael Bloomberg’s campaign."

Maybe he should contact the Russians... I hear they're pretty good at campaign work.. (snort)

Just another example of how poorly run the Bloomie campaign is. A bunch of Russian hackers can do a better job of manipulating social media in English than can the Bloomberg bumbling fools.

I knew they were idiots when they used a voiceover guy with a Brooklyn accent for their radio ads in Texas.

That dog just won’t hunt.

Even the Yankee Communist Bernie’s folks were smart enough to hold a rally at the local rodeo arena.

Now, Bloomie may well be able to buy the nomination, but unless he sacks his campaign staff and starts over, he’ll never be able to connect with the voters in the South and inland west.

Trump has a huge grass roots following on Twitter. Bloomberg is going for the Astroturf . . .
