"We have taken enforcement action on a group of accounts for violating our rules against platform manipulation and spam," a spokesperson for the platform said.
Some of the accounts are now banned while others can be re-authorized once the users behind them verify they are in control, Twitter said. The Wall Street Journal revealed Wednesday that the billionaire former New York mayor has hired around 500 people in California at $2,500 a month to regularly post messages supporting him on social media and to send text messages to their friends.
The technique blurs the lines between political advertisement and promotion by ordinary activists on social media networks, which are grappling with how to handle political content and prevent abuse. Twitter prohibits sending identical tweets from multiple accounts, as is often the case with spam, and"coordinating with or compensating others to engage in artificial engagement or amplification."
