This account is spreading wrong information on Twitter

In addition to promoting fake cryptocurrencies, Fox8 botnet accounts are spreading misinformation on a variety of topics, including elections and public health issues. Posts are also being posted continuously through these accounts so that human accounts can interact with them and they can get trapped. These bot accounts also interact with each other to prove themselves real and everyone has some or the other followers on their account so that the common user feels that this account is real.

Twitter removed all bot accounts

As soon as this report was sent to Twitter, the company removed all 1,440 bot accounts from the platform. However, the company has not made any comment in this regard. Let me tell you, Elon Musk is insisting on verification to reduce bots from Twitter because in this way bots can be controlled in this AI era. Due to the availability of Chat GPT and other AI tools, creating such accounts has become very easy these days and people are taking advantage of this.

If you are also active on Twitter, always reply to any message or click on the link carefully. To know the bot account, go to its profile and see all the posts etc. Whether an account is bot operated or not, you will also get to know by talking to it.
