I've been offline for a few days & will remain so for another week. Please check back on Sat Sept 30 for an announcement & some big tweets.

@holden If you work at Facebook or Twitter, you're not supposed to find inconvenient things - like Russian trolls & bots overrunning your platform.

[Barry's Ghost (old) @BarryGsGhost]

@pwnallthethings Yeah, ok, but what's the alternative? Right now TWTR is doing no effective screening for Russian bots & trolls whatsoever.

[Barry's Ghost (old) @BarryGsGhost]

@TaoOfPooh Good question, don't know. Plus there're comment pages, blogs, Reddit, etc etc. It's trolls all the way down.

[Barry's Ghost (old) @BarryGsGhost]

Yep, I bet FB & TWTR didn't even mention that Russian info ops are still continuing today. https://t.co/YT6meVKspF

@annbransom Trump probably just said there were 2 sides & the weak protesters who got beat up didn't have permits & were very bad dudes.

@BofA_Help Thx! You're following 65k peeps. LOTS are bots. Do you screen whom you follow at all? Are you at all concerned about following so many bots?

[Barry's Ghost (old) @BarryGsGhost]

.@BofA_Help Hi, may I ask you a question?

[Barry's Ghost (old) @BarryGsGhost]

@AmericanAir Thanks! You're following 98k peeps. Do you screen them? Do you realize many are bots? Do you get that following bots gives them credibility?

@bus2201 @th3j35t3r @puppymnkey @nadinevdVelde .@bus2201 Out of curiosity, why did you tag me on this tweet?

[Barry's Ghost (old) @BarryGsGhost]

@VerizonSupport I appreciate how quickly you replied initially. My questions are pretty simple & can be answered yes or no. Are you planning to answer?

[Barry's Ghost (old) @BarryGsGhost]

@VerizonSupport You're following 73,700 peeps. Do you do anything to screen peeps b/f following? Do you realize many peeps you're following are bots/trolls?
