Re:Musk Says Twitter Must Prove Bot Claims for $44B Deal to ... by andrewdb on Tuesday May 17, 2022 @07:42AM (#31408998)
Twitter's method for counting bots, according to Parag:

1. Sample random X accounts from known mDAU accounts

2. Use human analysis to manually review sampled accounts, using public and private data and metadata

3. Bucketize account accordingly

Twitter's process for finding bot accounts may be flawed, but if it's the process they use for their SEC filings, the deal is on.
