A census of leading Italian politicians' Twitter followings finds a horde of zombies and bots

None of this surprises me. I believe Mike Cernovich and other alt-right personalities have been caught doing the same thing to raise their follower count up despite the blatant purchasing of bot followers. This is something I really wish Twitter developers would police better since it produces a false belief about certain movements or subcultures being larger than they are or even more homogeneous than they are.
