BotRank -- the more suspected bots follow a given feed, the more likely that feed is itself a bot
If there aren't at least 10% of tweets about food, sports, or TV shows, I think its probably fake.
I disagree. Real people use pseudonyms as well. I have multiple twitter accounts and while I don't have an ax to grind against Hillary, I can imagine some of my friends in Texas would create and devote a twitter account solely for venting about something like this.
Of course, there is a difference between someone in Katy, Texas tweeting "lock her up" versus someone using a farm to make it look like there is a groundswell when there is none. However, is it wrong, immoral, or illegal? How do we define these things? We have to be really careful because we might end up making advertising illegal.
