Pro-Trump group flooding social media with election talking points

Facebook and Twitter are suspending accounts engendered through a pro-Trump group, Turning Point Action, that pays conservative youth to adopt election talking points as their own. The messages go out like spam on social media with no mention of Turning Point Action or its youth branch Turning Point USA. (The Washington Post, September 15, 2020, by Isaac Stanley-Becker)

Facebook said it removed accounts for violating policies regarding multiple accounts, and Twitter removed accounts for violating policies on spam and platform manipulation. (CNN, September 15, 2020, by Paul LeBlanc and Donie O’Sullivan)
