Twitter Suspends Putin Impersonator Account
0 comments
Twitter said this week that it had suspended an account impersonating Russian president Vladimir Putin. The account, which was created in November 2012, was able to amass around 1 million followers and mainly posted official government links to Putin’s public appearances.
In a tweet last Wednesday, Twitter Comms said that they had suspended @putinRF for impersonation based on reports from Russian officials.
Twitter spokesman Ian Plunkett confirmed in an email that the account was not affiliated with Putin.
