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.

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. Theres 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 Meghans] credibility? Your guess is as good as ours.
