I don't see Twitter recovering from this. Liberals already abandoned it, while conservatives have mostly been waiting to see it cleaned up before joining. Now that the company has publicly said it doesn't know if bots are manipulating it or how many there are, most will assume it is happening and Twitter, at best has no interest in stopping it while at worst they are encouraging it.

Remember Russian Bots? Now, If twitter has not done anything about the bots, and admitted that they do not know how many bots they have; then they are guilty of aiding the russians who have sanctions on them. I am waiting for that argument to pop out.
Every fucking angle this gets worse, and worse, and worse for them.
