KUALA LUMPUR, July 21 — Hollywood actress Amber Heard’s defamation trial with ex-husband, Johnny Depp last June garnered massive attention both online and offline.However, a newly-published report has found that not all the negative posts were actually organic.

Bot Sentinel on Monday released a report that specified how Heard was treated on Twitter during her defamation trial. Meanwhile, 3,288 accounts were seen tweeting hashtags such as #AmberHeardLsAnAbuser, #AmberHeardIsALiar and they’ve found out that 19 per cent of those accounts were dedicated to spamming the hashtags.

Another method being used by these trolls and bots includes copypasta as a means to amplify messaging and Twitter trends. Women who tweeted positive things about Heard would get swarmed by trolls who would often use vulgar and threatening language.
