“This is one of a set of truthy memes smearing a candidate for U.S. Senate. Looking at the injection points of these memes, we uncovered a network of about ten bot accounts —- the peripheral nodes in the graph. They inject thousands of memes, all of which link to posts from the same website. To avoid detection by Twitter, duplicate tweets are disguised by adding different hashtags or tweaking the web addresses. To generate retweeting cascades, the bots also coordinate mentioning a few popular users (such as the one seen in the center of the graph). These targets get the appearance of receiving the same news from a lot of different people, and are more likely to think it is true, and spread it to their followers. Most of the bot accounts in this network can be traced back to one person, who also runs the linked website.” How Chris Coons budget works uses tax 2 attend dinners and fashion shows Truthy
