Last month we saw Twitter suspend hundreds of accounts which it claims originated in mainland China for engaging in "covert, manipulative behaviors" against the Hong Kong protests, with Facebook and Google/YouTube following suit in the creepy, uniform coordination we've come to expect between these social media giants. In June of this year Twitter removed thousands of accounts it claims were associated with the governments of Iran, Russia and Venezuela, as well as 130 accounts reportedly tied to the Catalan independence movement in Spain. In May Twitter removed 2,800 of what it claimed were "inauthentic accounts originating in Iran."
