Example of how network graph visualization can be used to identify platform manipulation..

This is @karbonbased’s Warpcast social graph 

(Note how densely nodes are connected in red section)

(Note the overlap with red section from prior cast)

I like running, poker and oysters | Founder, Social Forensics (SocialForensics.com) | Berkeley & UPenn | Learning to listen

Examples of accounts from the red section include: @buzzedaldrin @nullspace @cannoli @muji
