Elon Musk has decided to temporarily suspend the purchase of Twitter in order to check against the number of fake social network accounts, reports Reuters.
Specifically, Musk wants to make sure that the number that Twitter processes in terms of the number of “fraudulent users” who fill the social network was similar to what the company maintains. approximately 5% of the total number of platform users. Until then, the operation is suspended.
Ever since Elon Musk became interested in Twitter, the stream of news about him has been constant and doesn’t seem to stop any time soon, even though few expected half the turn? events like this for which it is uncertain how it will end.
«Twitter contract is temporarily suspended, details are awaited to support the calculation that fake / spam accounts account for less than 5% of users“Musk himself said that through his Twitter account.
What is strange about the case is that one of South Africa’s ideas for the future of the platform was to get rid of those millions in short, robots and fraudulent accounts of which there are so many on Twitter. As an example, it is estimated that more than half of Muska’s more than 90 million followers alone are fake, which is common for this type of account with exaggerated numbers.
Of course, the good ways in which Elon Musk informed about the news are no less curious, because he is relatively sour when it comes to running a reproach. Maybe it’s because in the purchase agreement on Twitter, the richest man in the world agrees not to offend the company until the operation is certified.
Recall that at the end of last April, Elon Musk concluded a purchase agreement for $ 44,000 million on Twitter, among other things, with the aim of returning to the social network part of the lost respect for freedom of speech.
