Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton confirmed Monday that his office will investigate Twitter, alleging the firm lied about the number of bot accounts amid a high-profile spat between the two parties.
“A large number of bot accounts not [only] reduces users’ experience on the platform, but may also inflate the value of the company and the costs of doing business with it, thus directly harming consumers and businesses—specifically, Texas consumers and businesses,” Paxton’s office said.
