The social media has not stopped, despite the fear of decreasing the number of users. Their target is to identify and block fake accounts and computer-operated bot accounts. Earlier, to prevent misuse Twitter launched Operation Megafon, to buy fake accounts. Twitter's aggressive policies do not match their operational philosophy. Prior to this, the company claimed that only 5 percent of their regular users used fake accounts.

The Washington Post wrote that the decision to cancel Twitter's suspicious, fake and controversial accounts is a decision-making decision. Even before the account was terminated, the organization said that only 5 percent of the accounts used to be used are fake or spam. Automation software is used only for 8.5 percent accounts, due to which they are identified as bot accounts.
