Zero tolerance towards manipulation, says Twitter after Rahul Gandhi shoots letter

India Today  

In response to Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s letter to Twitter CEO Parag Agarwal to highlight the company’s “unwitting complicity in curbing free and fair speech”, the microblogging website said that it has a zero-tolerance approach to manipulation and spam. Rahul Gandhi had said that while the number of his Twitter followers increased by 4 lakh on average for the first seven months of 2021, the growth had come to a halt after his account was suspended for eight days in August last year. We fight spam and malicious automation strategically and at scale with machine learning tools, and as part of those consistent and ongoing efforts to ensure a healthy service and credible accounts, follower counts can and do fluctuate,” a Twitter spokesperson said. In his letter, written on December 27, 2021, Rahul Gandhi had said, "I am writing to you on behalf of more than a billion Indians to not allow Twitter to become a pawn in the destruction of the idea of India."
