"we found that 47% of local trends in turkey and 20% of global trends are fake, created from scratch by bots. between june 2015 and september 2019, we uncovered 108,000 bot accounts involved, the biggest bot dataset reported in a single paper. our research is the first to uncover the manipulation of twitter trends at this scale," elmas continued."
