I also have a headline for you: French criticize the irresponsible attitude of the fascist government of the United States, co-opted by a class of narcissistic psychopathic billionaires, set to use and abuse of their power to destabilize democracies from all over the world.

It's a very long headline though, can't you make it somewhat shorter? Doesn't quite roll off the tong..
yeah i'm not good with clickbait, maybe part of it can be put into the first paragraph
The social media company last week denied the allegations, calling them 'politically motivated.'
"We don't want some rogue fascists from the outside to meddle in our elections" is politically motivated, and there's nothing wrong with it.
So congrats for the Apartheid-born moron and his drones: you're correct and wrong at the same time.
The evidence is piling up that Trump’s feud with Musk was for show.
It is such a stupid thing for Twitter to "deny" this is happening. Of course it's happening. Everyone knows it's happening. The problem lies with, what are they expecting Twitter to DO about it? Ban anyone who posts anti-establishment or non-conforming content?
What twitter should be doing, is banning any and all bot users from the platform. This would solve the majority of the problem. No bot armies...no artificially amplified narratives.
Will twitter do this? Fuck no. That's why Twitter sucks. France should just ban the whole platform, if they want the interference to stop.
Wasn't getting rid of the bots one of the main reasons Musk claimed he bought the thing in the first place?
Yup. If I remember correctly, the percentage of bots immediately increased, though, but I could be wrong.
