| 1624653505439956993 | Clear upsurge in pro-Erdogan bots, possible troll farms & commandeering accounts to spread disinfo since the Feb 6 earthquake in #Turkey 🇹🇷. Flagging in hopes that journalists & researchers on the tech & online disinfo beats will delve into this. @marcowenjones @amberinzaman https://t.co/mo4YON9rEU | 13 |
| 1626356466025218051 | @marcowenjones He's been around forever. I used to see his BS on Facebook all of the time. He combines health misinformation, anti-vax conspiracies and "feel good" stories and I believe he attributes his knowledge to the fact both of his parents are doctors. He's sadly good at what he does. | 13 |
