SAN FRANCISCO -- Twitter said it removes 1 million spam accounts each day in a call with executives Thursday during a briefing that aimed to shed more light on the company's fake and bot accounts as it tussles with Elon Musk over"spam bots."
Musk has argued, without presenting evidence, that Twitter has significantly underestimated the number of these"spam bots" -- automated accounts that typically promote scams and misinformation — on its service. Private data, which isn't available publicly and thus not in the data"firehose" that was given to Musk, includes IP addresses, phone numbers and location. Twitter said such private data helps avoid misidentifying real accounts as spam.
