Analysis identifies 83 accounts behind 70% of tweets abusing Duchess and Duke of Sussex


The Duchess of Sussex, who has said she avoids social media for “my own self-preservation”, has been the subject of a coordinated hate and misinformation campaign on Twitter, according to a new report.

Both she and Prince Harry, who are advocates for healthier social media, have been targeted on the platform, with Meghan receiving about 80% of the abuse, according to the Twitter analytics provider Bot Sentinel.

It analysed 114,000 tweets relating to the couple, and identified 83 accounts that it alleged were behind 70% of the more virulent anti-Sussex tweets.


Could this be all organized by M16?


Bouzy told BuzzFeed News that the anti-Meghan Twitter campaign was unlike anything he or his team had seen before. “There’s no motive,” he said, comparing the anti-Meghan campaign with other disinformation and harassment campaigns on Twitter such as the #StopTheSteal movement to overturn the results of the 2020 US presidential election, or the campaign to remove the actor Amber Heard from the Aquaman sequel as a result of abuse allegations made against her by her former husband, Johnny Depp. “Are these people who hate her? Is it racism? Are they trying to hurt [Harry and Meghan’s] credibility? Your guess is as good as ours.

This campaign comes from people who know how to manipulate the algorithms, manipulate Twitter, stay under the wire to avoid detection and suspension. This level of complexity comes from people who know how to do this stuff, who are paid to do this stuff.”

Not MI6 but close
The cabal of public school boys’ networks that run through the media and the loudest voices in society all frequent the same wicked seances.

This may all be true, but if ordinary people can identify who this misinformation is about, then twitter and other social platform certainly can capture all of these offending texts, quarantine them and decide whether or not to make them public. Broadcast media have a number of seconds time-delay to beep unacceptable vulgarity, surely these technology companies have the wherewithal to filter - severely limit if not completely eliminate these offenses ---- true, some innocuous stuff may get caught up – collateral victim --- but that can be mitigated.

Megahan and Harry are irrelevant and will be of no interest to anyone in the near future, I suggest they prepare to get on with their private family lives..

Ex active royals are probably more useless than active royals..
