   Via @Wikisteff. Twitter has been completely reconfigured as a propaganda network for right wing extremists and anti-science zealots.

     @paninid Nope, but it’s still disappointing.

     Sorry, I misattributed that. I thought the person who posted it produced the chart, but I think it’s by @ketan.

     Remarkable (but unsurprising) how quickly various propaganda and disinformation networks have weaponized the changes to Twitter. You look at some of the accounts taking part in disinfo campaigns and see plenty of blue checks, with fake / manipulated profile photos and posting histories that are entirely made up of coordinated RTs and QTs. So much easier to buy amplification now; he made troll farms 1000x more effective.
