Twitter Inc (NYSE: TWTR) said that according to an internal review conducted by the company, false or spam accounts during the first quarter of 2022 represented fewer than 5% of its monetizable daily active users (mDAUs).

What Happened: The social media platform said in the Monday filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) that it had made improvements in its spam detection capabilities, which has led to the suspension “of a large number of spam, malicious automation, and fake accounts.”

Twitter said it intends to continue making such improvements. 

[요약] 

Twitter Inc(NYSE: TWTR)에 따르면 회사에서 수행한 내부 검토에 따르면 2022년 1분기 동안 허위 또는 스팸 계정은 수익 창출 가능한 일일 활성 사용자(mDAU)의 5% 미만을 차지했다.

What Happened: 소셜 미디어 플랫폼은 월요일 미국 증권 거래 위원회(SEC)에 제출한 서류에서 "많은 스팸, 악성 자동화, 그리고 가짜 계정" 등의 스팸 탐지 기능을 개선하여 왔다고 말했다.

트위터는 이러한 개선을 계속할 계획이라고 밝혔습니다.

Why It Matters: Twitter said it had 229 million mDAUs, which is a year-over-year increase of 15.9%. 

“After we determine an account is spam, malicious automation, or fake, we stop counting it in our mDAU, or other related metrics,” said Twitter on Monday. 

Tesla Inc (NASDAQ: TSLA) CEO Elon Musk is all set to take Twitter private in a $44 billion deal.

Last month, Musk tweeted that if the bid led by him succeeded, “we will defeat the spam bots or die trying!”

Recently, billionaire Mark Cuban suggested using Dogecoin (CRYPTO: DOGE) to tackle Twitter spam. Musk liked the idea of the Dallas Mavericks owner.

Price Action: On Tuesday, Twitter shares closed 0.3% higher at $49.18 in the regular session and rose 0.1% in extended trading. On the same day, Tesla shares closed 3.7% higher at $902.94 in regular trading and rose 0.45% in the after-hours session, according to data from Benzinga Pro.
