Twitter Warns of Suspicious Traffic Coming From China and Russia (reuters.com)
Suspicious traffic to a Twitter user forum appears to be part of a government-backed activity coming from China and Russia, a Twitter spokesman told Reuters Monday. The company said it is yet to determine the reason for the activity, but is choosing to notify users out of an abundance of caution.

Slashdot.Org is having the bias again. Liberal brain infection has spread once more past the deep state CIA/NSA driven by love of Clinton and money from Soros. SAD!
that they won't pocket the ad revenue from the extra traffic.

P.S.=> France is showing you ALL what's what - they have BALLS & are kicking OUT the FAKE NEWS owners crap out of them, Macron essentially tried to BRIBE THEM no less (which imo REALLY set them off more in the YELLOW VESTS insulting them) - good for France - now USA, do the same, do the RIGHT THING & get rid of these PURVEYORS OF DECEIT... apk
"(This story corrects to show Twitter saying suspicious traffic appears to be coming from China and Saudi Arabia, not China and Russia) "
seems reuters (and /.) has too much russia on its mind and sees russia everywhere.
The key objective in a war, is to get what you want by any means possible. Wither that is land, material, workers, or just follow your ideas or not being a threat to your security.
Today, why bother with all the killing, when you can obtain your objectives via hacking the media. I
If something is so important that you feel the need to post it on the internet... It probably isn't that important.
Caffeinated bacon/crimson tsunami, very likely comes from china. But there are others here whose job is to come here and lie. Until sites vet ppl ( just have to get them as being who they claim; do not have to tell others it ), this will continue.
I prefer the "u" in honour as it seems to be missing these days.
Please God, free the people of Earth. Go Russia and China.
Seems they have found another nation and China in an update. Strange how its always Russia until its not, but its still Russia :)
Domestic spying is now "Benign Information Gathering"
good hope you burn in hell
There has _always_ been adversarial traffic from foreign countries, including from foreign government-sponsored entities. There will _always_ be such traffic. All these reports are is CYA: if, god forbid, someone in Russia were to spend $6k promoting Black Lives Matter they can say âoesee, we told you it was happeningâ. This is not new, this happens all the time, and is done by all countries. Furthermore, thereâ(TM)s no way to reliably tell if adversary is a government or not, and any assertions to the contrary are pure propaganda.

Like other politically liberal companies, Twitter censors information.
In a previous century, Christian clergymen declared that factual statements from some scientists (e.g., Galileo Galilei) are offensive. The clergymen shouted, "Blasphemy! Heresy!" They used religious emotion to suppress the truth.
In the current century, Hispanics (and Africans) and their political accomplices declare that factual statements from some conservative populists (e.g., Ann Coulter) are offensive. Hispanics shout, "Bigotry! Racism! White Supremacy!" They use religious emotion to suppress the truth. (Consider one example of the truth.)
Upon hearing accusations of racism, Twitter promptly bans the writer (of the truth) and deletes his comments.
Suppressing the truth in the past or the present is unethical.
Deliberately censoring information is equivalent to deliberately spreading disinformation. Both techniques create a false impression of reality. Twitter is no better than the propaganda offices in Beijing and Moscow.

Better idea.
Wall them off -- online and offline. No internet. No visas. No trade. No food. No energy. No nothing.
The tyrants want "sovereignty". We should show the authoritarians what absolute sovereignty, i.e. grinding poverty and starvation looks like.
Fuck them. They want to attack us? They can live without the benefits of trade and travel with civilized countries.
that's what I'm reading. The U.S. wants to lie, lie, and lie some more, and if someone corrects or contradicts the lies, then it's suspicous propaganda.
You just don't like it that people now tell you you are lying instead of joining in your circlejerk.
You are supposedly vetted, but that doesn't stop you from lying constantly.

You people are nuts! And so weak minded!! You make the Trump people look like geniuses. We're doomed :-(
Next time, when we tell you there are hundreds of thousands of fake twitter bots, and turn them in to you, believe us.
Note it's probably a lot worse than that.

No need for me!! I've friended you on facebook and I like the same Russian feeds or this guy in the USA. [bbc.co.uk] because we Conservatives KNOW that whatever is posted on facebook and liked by our brethern is the TRUTH!
WindBourne opened strongly with a lie about American beef. Directly contradicting the link in the post he responded to. No excuse for that one.
Then he quickly followed up with a two for one. Claiming America makes the most Electric vehicles and buys the most efficient air conditioners.
He was really on a roll, as almost immediately he posted this set of lies, claiming China has the worse air conditioning efficiency (they are better than America) and falsely accusing someone else of lying (even though they showed links).
He also doubled down on his lies Replying to a linked IEA report with some random blog that didn't even agree with him anyway.
Thinking that wasn't enough lies, he then falsely claimed again someone else was lying. He also attempted to lie about what his link said and tried to pretend he proved the other person was a liar. Quite a ballsy move, he must have been getting quite desperate.
Lastly to round out the week he went back to one of his longtime favourite lies. Claiming China is 80% coal.
So in summary, lies about beef, lies about electric vehicles, lies about air conditioning, lies about coal, and the standard "falsely calling everyone else a liar".
Will this be the new baseline for his level of lying or was this week just an outlier?
Tune in next week to find out.
Twitter is full of twats. :)
For a happy life, avoid Twitter.
(At least, don’t read the comments to the people you follow. )
L'Idiot
He isn't the slightest bit gullible and never just believes what he is told as long as it fits his narrative.
America never hacks or spies on anyone either so buy CISCO.
