BBC investigation finds banned accounts are back on Twitter
BBC analysis of over 1,100 reinstated Twitter accounts found hundreds spreading hate and misinformationHundreds of accounts that were recently allowed back on Twitter have been spreading abuse or misinformation, a BBC investigation has found.
However our research indicated a number of the reinstated accounts appear to be breaking these rules. We limited our data set to accounts reinstated between 27 October 2022 - the first day of Mr Musk's takeover - and January 10, only including profiles with over 10,000 followers. Since being reinstated his following on the platform has ballooned - going from 150,000 in November 2022 to five million currently.
Perhaps the most disturbing findings from this investigation were two accounts with images depicting child sexual abuse.We reported this content to Twitter, who have since suspended one of the accounts and removed a problematic image from another. Some of the Trump supporters even celebrated their return to Twitter with posts echoing false election claims.
