Fake accounts represent less than 5% of users on Twitter

Twitter has estimated this Monday that false or spam accounts represent less than 5% of the monetizable daily active users of the social network in the first quarter of the year.

The founder and CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, Elon Musk, recently bought twitter for $44 billion. One of his priorities was, as he stated days after closing the operation, to put an end to the ‘spam’ accounts on the platform.

In a document submitted by Twitter before the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC, for its acronym in English) of the United States this Monday, the company refers to the weight of false or spam accounts in the social network.

Twitter assures in this document that Less than 5% of your monetizable daily active users are spam accounts. At least in the first quarter of the year, the platform closes with more than 229 million users worldwide.

Musk has reiterated his crusade against bots and spam accounts on the red carpet of the Met Gala (New York, United States). In it, he has reaffirmed in statements to Global News his commitment to end “the ‘trols’ and scams” because he considers that they are deteriorating the user experience.

Musk’s other big mention of spam accounts took place on April 10. It was then that he proposed his version of Twitter Blue, the social network’s monthly subscription service, whose price would drop from $3 to $2, but paying twelve months in advance.

Musk added at the time that the account would be suspended without the right to a refund if it was proven that its user had used it for spam or to carry out a scam.
