• More Lies: Most of Barrack Obama’s Twitter Followers Don’t Even Exist!

  It appears even more deception surrounds the Obama administration, and this  time it has to do with how many people actually ‘like’ and ‘follow’ Obama  himself.  New reports have surfaced that more than half of  President Obama’s 36.9 million Twitter followers are fakes.

  Only 20% of Obama’s Twitter followers are real people,  according to the Internet research  firm Status People, which checks for fake followers. Status People’s experts  found that 53%, or 19.5 million, of the Twitter followers Obama reported belong  to fake accounts. Meanwhile, we can actually see the pulse of what is  important to the American people. There’s a reason that Anthony  Gucciardi’s piece exposing ‘Constitution-free  zones‘ has over 250,000 shares on Tumblr and several thousand on other  social media platforms as well.

  It seems that, instead of actually saying something worthwhile, politicians  resort to deception. Vice President Joe Biden did almost as bad in the world of  Twitter; around 46% of his Twitter followers are fake. First Lady Michelle Obama  had a few more followers: Around 36% of the accounts that followed her were  apparently fakes.

  So what is going on here? Is it a deliberate deception, a mistake, or simply  confusion? In social media, the use of ‘bots’ and fake profiles is  rampant. To make matters worse, it is very easy to set up a fake Twitter  account or one that you don’t use. People set up such accounts for all sorts of  reason. Unfortunately, services like Twitter count the fake accounts because it  makes them sound good.

  Politicians like Obama and Biden go along because it makes them seem more  important and popular than they actually are. It makes it look they have  followers when they don’t, both inside and outside of cyber space.
