Bots? You mean the very things he pledged to get rid of before buying Twitter? Theyre still on Twitter?

I cant believe it

The guy who got rid of all the controls that limited hate speech, and who invited back a whole bunch of people who got kicked off previously for hate speech, is all shocked-pikachu at the surge of hate speech following his actions.

Which has Germany in a position to crack down hard on him, and yet they still didn't for some reason. Hundreds of cases of hate speech that could amount to a fine big enough to take this platform away from him.

Germany, please do something already

Considering that I get a few new bot followers every day, and has been for probably over a year now, but my total follower count isn't increasing much, I'm quessing they're indeed removing these accounts, but new ones just keep popping up. That would pretty much be on par with why he says he's going to start charging for it.
