So to get this straight - SparkToro have decided to burn their reputation down chasing a spurious irrelevant claim from someone else's merger. It'll never cease to amaze me how many people will take obvious trolling and treat is as reasonable. This is like conducting a serious analysis into whether the US election was stolen.

I hope they like law suits:

> Our analysis found that 19.42%, nearly four times Twitter’s Q4 2021 estimate, fit a conservative definition of fake or spam accounts

Ok great, I hope you have fun proving that in court. Especially the part where you have to prove that Twitter's definitions which you don't know match yours.

>SparkToro is a tiny team of just three

Then I applaud your bold decision to interfere with a $45Bn merger.

>Our definition (which may differ from Twitter’s own

Any lawyers in the house? How obviously do you have to renege on your libelous claims before you're in the clear?
