According to a recent revelation, Twitter is generating millions of dollars off just a few of its most prominent users. According to new study from the Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH), Twitter “will collect up to $19 million in advertising income” from only 10 accounts that were previously banned from the network.
The investigation examined the current involvement with ten accounts that had previously been banned for “posting nasty content and harmful conspiracies.” Following Elon Musk’s acquisition of Twitter, the accounts were restored. The group includes accounts affiliated with extremism and conspiracy theories, such as those of influencer Andrew Tate, Daily Stormer founder Andrew Anglin, notable antivaxxer Robert Malone, and the Gateway Pundit.
