Senator leaned on Twitter by flagging over 300 accounts

The recent release of Twitter Files, posted by independent journalist Matt Taibbi, showed that left-leaning independent Sen. Angus King reported over 300 Twitter accounts, including news outlet Zero Hedge, as suspicious.

Taibbi has accused the politicians, including Republican Mark Lenzi, a State Department official, of trying to lean on Twitter.

King reported the accounts suspicious for posting content like “being followed by rival Eric Brakey,” mentions of immigration, and “Rand Paul visit excitement.”
