“We took enforcement action on about 70 accounts, which includes a combination of permanent suspensions and account challenges to verify ownership,” a Twitter spokeswoman said in a statement to Reuters.The Bloomberg campaign did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment. This can refer to creating several accounts to post duplicative content but also includes “coordinating with or compensating others to engage in artificial engagement or amplification, even if the people involved use only one account.”

Oh!

FeelTheBern ! !

👏🏻👏🏻go Twitter!!

Best bots money can buy 😂😂😂

Now do Bernie

Platform manipulation.....can't do that for free. 🤔

Ah, he just needs to throw a few bills Jack's way

jack & trump must find mike to be a credible threat. I'm not paid, I'm just sitting back watching this american shit show. People are acting like it's a crime to build a business & make money. Unregulated capitalism isn't sustainable, but I am Not a socialist.

lmao get rekt

Corrupt Tricky as trump and Clinton. Why trump wants to battle it with SenSanders because Bernini like Jeremy in uk will not be playing dirty will be honest therefore loose

And they continue to let Twitler realDonaldTrump use it as a platform to divide, bully and abuse.

Good!!! 🤬

SScalpings I never retweet Reuters, because they’re so left wing, but this good!

Oh snap. That's a problem...a big one.

Twitter really showing which side of the Democrat Civil War they're on

Like Trump, Bloomberg likes to cheat. They are two sides of the same coin.

But not Trump, or the WH official account, or numerous GOPers or Bernie Bros...

I pledge allegiance to the NDA of the convoluted state of Bloomberg’s campaign for which it stands one bank account, indecipherable, with leverage and just none for all.

That's a start.

That is a crazy short podium

Twitter SUSPEND TRUMP TOO

I hate Bloomberg! He isn’t even remotely sympathetic to the Posadist school of thought! Embrace Posadism!
