Playing it straight: GOP Sen. John Cornyn (L) and Democratic Sen.
Dick Durbin (R) had the best records, with just 11 per cent of their Twitter followers regarded as phony
Barack Obama is political king of the fake Twitter followers, with more than 19.5 MILLION online fans who don’t really exist
September 29, 2013
Among influential U.S. political tweeters, President Barack Obama
is the undisputed king of the fake followers. A MailOnline analysis
ranks his sizable Twitter following as the most deceptive total among
the 21 most influential accounts run by American politicians: More than
19.5 million of his 36.9 million Twitter followers are accounts that don’t correspond to real people.
The four phoniest accounts in the sample, which
included Democratic and Republican Party leaders in Washington, D.C.,
were those belonging to President Obama, Vice President Joe Biden, first
lady Michelle Obama and the White House communications shop.
Of the president’s 36.9 million Twitter followers, an astonishing 53 per cent – or 19.5 million – are fake accounts, according to a search engine at the Internet research vendor StatusPeople.com. Just 20 per cent of Obama’s Twitter buddies are real people who are active users.
Overall, the five most influential accounts linked to the Obama administration – the first lady has two – account for 23.4 million fake followers.
Biden’s nonexistent fans make up 46 per
cent of his Twitter total, with 20 per cent being ‘real’ followers. The
White House’s followers are 37 per cent fake and 25 per cent active; the
first lady’s primary account is 36 per cent fake and 29 per cent
active.
The Daily Caller reported on Tuesday that Michelle Obama’s Twitter followers included nearly 2 million nonexistent people, a number that lines up with MailOnline’s findings.
Fake Twitter followers seem to be chasing U.S. politicians on both sides of the aisle, but Barack Obama is the undisputed champ
A matched ticket:
Vice President Biden’s fake-follower ranking was 46 per cent, with just
one-fifth of his supposed Twitter audience consisting of human beings
who are actually listening
Michelle Obama’s complaints about Americans’ diet and exercise are falling on deaf ears, at least among the 71 per cent of her Twitter followers who aren’t tuning in
The difference between fake followers and ‘real’ ones is comprised of ‘inactive’ accounts, which may relate to real people but no longer send tweets with any regularity.
There are several reasons why so many
followers of a given Twitter account might be considered ‘fake.’ In some
cases, direct marketers and other spammers follow influential accounts
en masse, hoping to be followed in return.
Twitter’s own CEO, Dick Costolo, has a personal feed followed by 1.1 million people, but 31 per cent of them are fake.
There is also the possibility that prominent politicians are buying blocks of Twitter followers. Such an accusation was leveled at Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney in 2012.
The digital security company Baccardua Labs told The Guardian that
Romney’s surge of new followers at the time were ‘not from a general
Twitter population but most likely from a paid Twitter follower
service.’
‘Romney’s newest followers could have
been paid for by himself, his associates or by his opponents. So far,
there is not a feasible way to confirm who is responsible,’ said the
report’s author, Jason Ding.
No such report about Obama’s social media accounts was published.
MailOnline looked at 21 accounts, and the numbers show that just about everyone in Washington is a minimum of 11 per cent phony — at least on Twitter
Up, up, up! Vice President Joe Biden is second only to his boss in the fake follower department
Former U.S. House Speaker Newt Gingrich has made a name for himself among conservatives with nearly 1.5 million Twitter followers, but more than 400,000 of those don’t appear to be real
When
the White House tweets … only one-quarter of its followers are
receiving the message. About 37 per cent of them aren’t real, and
another 38 per cent aren’t active on Twitter
One British company called Buy More Followers advertises online that it offers ‘a wide range of packages,’ providing as many as 100,000 artificial but ‘real looking’ Twitter followers for a relatively modest £189.99. The company also offers a 30-day money-back guarantee.
Did he? One report determined that Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney’s social media staff purchased a raft of Twitter followers to boost his online credibility
The most genuine follower totals in MailOnline’s sample
were those of the four congressional ‘whips’ – the second-in-command
members in each party who enforce discipline and count heads before
votes are called.
Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin, an
Illinois Democrat, boasts a Twitter account with only 11 per cent ‘fake’
followers, a number matched by Minority Whip John Cornyn, a Texas
Republican.
‘Twitter is a great medium for Sen. Cornyn to stay in direct contact with Texans,’ press secretary Megan Mitchell said.
GOP House Majority Whip Rep. Kevin
McCarthy of California was second-best among Republicans, with 12 per
cent of his followers lacking pulses and names. Democratic House
Minority Whip Steny Hoyer of Maryland came next with 13 per cent.
‘Twitter and other social media
platforms are an effective method for online conversations about
important issues in Congress,’ said Hoyer spokesperson Amanda Ott,
noting that her boss ‘continues to emphasize engaging with his constituents and the broader American public through social media.’
Near the other end of the scale,
however, four of the most prominent House and Senate leaders – from both
major parties – gave the Obama administration a run for its money.
Grass roots? About 29 per cent of Sen. Marco Rubio’s 431,000 Twitter followers don’t appear to be living, breathing people
House Speaker John Boehner had the worst record among members of Congress whose Twitter accounts MailOnline sampled. One-third of his speaker account’s followers – 33 per cent – are fake, which
is a greater proportion than the 30 per cent who exist and are active
tweeters. Boehner also has a second account with a 24 per cent ‘fake’
rating.
Republican Sen. Marco Rubio, Democratic
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and Democratic Senate Majority Leader
Harry Reid followed with 29, 29 and 28 percent fake followers,
respectively.
The White House offered no reply to messages seeking comment.
