Twitter has eliminated 259 accounts that, according to its latest report on manipulation of the platform, would have been operated by the Popular Party in an indeterminate time from 2018 to the present in order to "shake public opinion falsely . "

These accounts operated as fake profiles whose main purpose was to 'spam' and retweet political messages in order to generate more "interaction" on Twitter , although the company ensures that all of them were active "for a relatively short period of time . "

The PP would have violated an important part of the rules of use of Twitter, which prohibit "artificially expanding" the experience that other users may have on Twitter.

The EFE agency quotes the training and ensures that "it has never created fake accounts" and that this operation could respond to what "network users can do that, under their responsibility, interact with the accounts" of the party.

"The PP has never created false accounts because it considers that the real effectiveness in the networks materializes with the real volunteers and their own accounts, " he has justified, despite the Twitter study confirming that the accounts were operated directly by the party.

Twitter explicitly veto generate commercially motivated 'spam' , generate false interactions and carry out a coordinated activity to influence public conversation, something that according to its investigation the PP would have carried out.

From Twitter, they have no more information to add to what has already been published , but they point out that this is the third transparency report they launch and that their goal is to facilitate research for professionals of all kinds, from journalists to documentary filmmakers. And they add: "We only reveal data sets associated with coordinated malicious activities that we can reliably associate with state-affiliated actors. For privacy and security reasons, we do not disclose information about individuals or accounts not affiliated with a state actor."

According to the database provided by the social network, the more than 200 suspended accounts were managed from different parts of Spain , and most of them were dedicated to criticize the acting President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, and the rest of the parties, At the same time they praised the speech of the president of the PP, Pablo Casado.
