OTTAWA – Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, former prime minister Stephen Harper, and NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh’s follower accounts have all lost thousands of Twitter followers, as the social media giant moves to purge fake accounts.
Twitter announced July 11 that it would be removing accounts that have been locked for suspicious activity, as part of an ongoing effort to “proactively identify and challenge problematic accounts.” The company predicted most users might see a modest impact, but that the loss would be amplified for accounts with large follower counts.
