Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal and Elon Musk are engaged in a debate over an issue Musk has made central to his proposed purchase of the platform — spam.

San Francisco

In a series of tweets on Monday, Agrawal laid out Twitter's approach to spam accounts and its challenges dealing with them.Twitter suspends"over half a million spam accounts every day," Agrawal wrote. He reiterated a longstanding statistic from Twitter that less than 5% of its daily active users are spam accounts — a stat that Musk cited on Friday while announcing that his $44 billion deal to buy Twitter was"temporarily on hold.

Musk wants Twitter to be more right wing and more sympathetic towards Donald Trump

Isn't that an issue with almsot every online platform?

Spam and Troll fighting each other! 😉

Opinions are Commodities from now on. Ethics reach a low standard.Musk reflects itself and and abuses Twitter as a global form for his megalomania.

Opinions are Commodities from now on.

elonmusk plz restore my account z Guly_Marwat . It was permanently banned just bcz i raised by voice against Indian and Israeli Apartheid states.

Anyway elonmusk has done a great job for free speech. My account are free again. Thanks Elon!

Bots are real, Fake accounts are very real as well, My friend got 30 accounts in his one soul but many different names whether you believe it or not. 😁😂🤦‍♂️

Musk rules Twitter and the Tweets. Twitter is with the owner Musk not independent anymore. Musk makes Trump great again and vice perversa. Hands off Twitter. Musk is the wrong one. Narcissistic and selfish and too loud. Goodbye. Hopefully forever.

Go away Elon.

elonmusk will find the numbers of bots & spam are higher than 5%, then he will force to renegotiate the price.. simply like when you buy a bank, then find out that most of the asset quality is impaired.. this is the financial point for buyin’ twitter..

Don't think Parag should argue with this lowlife. He will be leaving if he buys. If he doesn't kick him off the platform. Simple.

The only way Twitter can verify bots on the platform is by scanning the whole site. But elonmusk has allowed brainwashed people to harse people on the platform since he announced wanted the site. This should disqualify Musk from getting the platform cause he's a cult leader.

As observed by Kochhar (2015, p. 1), within this global sphere, 7 out of 10 people ‘live on $10 or less per day’, a view supported by the World Bank (2021), which provides further evidence that more than 37% of people live below the poverty line

I consider Musk tweets as spam.

Behind Fake-Account Issue That Elon Musk Cited in Pausing Twitter DealAs Elon Musk hits the pause button on his Twitter deal, questions arise as to why the Tesla chief is talking about phony accounts again now Amount of users impacts valuation. A valuation is not appropriate if it includes extensive accounts that are not actual people, that means the user numbers are inaccurate which in turn impacts the overall value of the platform. Because twitter has been lying to their investors? While we're on the topic of bots and ElonMusk: we really do need to raise taxes so we can afford the tasks necessary to providing our children and their children a realistic opportunity for a healthy and sustainable future.
