This is great. Just ten cents for a valid fake X account that passes their detection? What I want to know is how many of the racist, supremacist, meme spamming accounts on X are fake or bots, and also how coordinated they are (whether a bot or not). But I assume there’s no way to study or determine this from the outside because the Twitter APIs are gone?
