"Just 10 "superspreader" users on #Twitter were responsible for more than a third of the misinformation posted over an eight-month period, according to a new report.
In total, 34% of the "low credibility" content posted to the site between January & October of 2020 was created by the 10 users identified by researchers based in the US & UK. More than 70 per cent of posts came from just 1,000 accounts.
This amounted to more than 815,000 tweets." https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-05-23/twitter-misinformation-x-report/103878248
