Jakarta, CNN Indonesia – Twitter Inc.. remove more than 10,000 accounts by posting messages that make people reluctant to vote in the mid-term election in the United States in 2018.
"We are taking action regarding accounts and relevant activities on Twitter," a Twitter spokesman said in an email to Reuters.
This move takes place in late September and early October.
Twitter has removed more than 10,000 accounts, according to three sources. This number is low, since Twitter has previously removed millions of accounts that were deemed to be responsible for spreading misinformation during the 2016 US presidential election.
However, this decision was a first victory for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, or DCCC, a party that supports Democrats who run in the House of Representatives.
The DCCC launched its efforts this year in response to the party's inability to respond to millions of accounts on Twitter and other social media platforms that spread negative and false information about the Democratic candidate for the Presidential Hillary Clinton and other party candidates in 2016, told Reuters three people close to the operation. .
Although the disinformation campaign has so far been a little ahead of the November 6 legislative elections, the Democrats hope that the tagging operation will help them to react quickly in case of confusion regarding such a message in the next days. (age)
