Twitter suspends 70 pro-Bloomberg accounts for campaign’s copy-and-paste strategy

Twitter suspended 70 pro-Bloomberg accounts Friday that the website said were violating its platform rules.

The accounts were part of a social media strategy developed by former New York mayor Mike Bloomberg’s presidential campaign to create an online following — or at least the appearance of one.

The plan was not okay with Twitter, which created rules in September to prevent Russian interference in the 2020 election. Friday’s mass suspension was first reported by the Los Angeles Times.
