Well atleast they're admiting the screenshots are legit. Knowing how much people hate this guy, I wouldn't be too surprised if the algorithm manipulation claim was actually true. However you'd think that by this point they would already have optimized their advertising system to prevent this exact thing from happening.

They probably had a solution for it, but mr. “I know better then everyone else” probably took the solution offline while he was dismantling twitter earlier this year

Algorithm manipulation makes it sound like hacking.

Twitter is arguing they gasp followed racist accounts and gasp waited a bit.

That's it. That's the manipulation they're suing over.

Such actions cannot stand and are fraud. As you're not ACTUALLY interested in racist content. /s
