Both Changpeng Zhao and representatives of the official Binance Twitter account added their comments. «Twitter, please, I see my boss enough already. Can you help me so I don’t see him 99 times more because of bots?» the exchange representatives wrote on behalf of Binance.

The problem of bots on Twitter is not new to Elon Musk, which is why in early July the billionaire announced his withdrawal from the Twitter acquisition deal, accusing the platform of having a large number of fake accounts. Soon after, Twitter sued Musk to force him to buy the platform for $ 44 billion. Amid these events, Twitter shares fell by 7%.

Ex-employees of Twitter have also spoken about the presence of bots on the platform, as recently the former head of Twitter security Peter Zatko spoke about significant shortcomings in protecting social media users from possible hacker attacks, privacy issues, and a large number of bots on the platform. According to Musk’s lawyers, such information from the informant is another proof of Twitter’s violation of the merger agreement.
