  • Weaponising 280 Characters What 200,000 Tweets and 4,000 Bots Tell Us About State of Twitter in Sri Lanka
    Weaponising 280 characters What 200,000 tweets and 4,000 bots tell us about state of Twitter in Sri Lanka Sanjana Hattotuwa, Yudhanjaya Wijeratne and Raymond Serrato Weaponising 280 characters What 200,000 tweets and 4,000 bots tell us about state of Twitter in Sri Lanka by Sanjana Hattotuwa, Yudhanjaya Wijeratne and Raymond Serrato 21 April 2018 1 Summary Starting late March, Groundviews and other Twitter users in Sri Lanka began noticing a tsunami of Twitter accounts with no bios, no tweets and the default profile picture following them. Immediately evident were interesting characteristics, not unlike the bots and fake followers anchored to account of Namal Rajapaksa. The bots had Sinhala, Muslim and Tamil sounding names. Many of the profiles were the default Twitter profile image, but many of the female accounts had photos lifted from public profiles of other individuals. Given the scale and scope of the infestation, Groundviews, for the first time in the Sri Lankan Twittersphere, took the step of making public its block list, which other users could import. Even this measure though was not enough to address the high frequency with which new, fake accounts were being created, attaching themselves to prominent Twitter users in Sri Lanka. Preliminary analysis of 1,262 accounts, a subset of the larger dataset we were working with, indicated that the majority of suspicious accounts following Twitter users were bots. A visualisation of the number of accounts targeted by the bots revealed that leading diplomats, Ambassadors based in Sri Lanka, the official accounts of diplomatic missions, leading local politicians, the former President of the Maldives, media institutions, civil society organisations and initiatives, leading journalists, cricketers and other individuals were amongst those who had large bot numbers of bot followers.

The decline had perhaps begun as early as the 1999 World Cup final, and peaked during the 2003 World Cup tournament and it became more obvious in the aftermath of the twin series defeats against India at home in early 2004. The services of Bob Woolmer as coach were acquired by the Pakistan Cricket Board in an effort to ensure that the team came up with improved performance and did justice with the loads of talent. The move has paid dividends.
