Twitter removes about 1 million spam accounts daily

Twitter removes more than 1 million spam accounts each day, Reuters reported citing executives.

Twitter stressed on its commitment to reduce harmful automated bots reiterating that spam accounts were well under 5% of users who are served advertising, a figure that has been unchanged in its public filings since 2013.

The company added that human reviewers manually examine thousands of Twitter accounts at random and use a combination of public and private data in order to calculate and report to shareholders the proportion of spam and bot accounts on the service.
