News Twitter 'shuts down millions of fake accounts'

Twitter has shut down up to 70 million fake and suspicious accounts since May, according to the Washington Post.

The suspensions and shutdowns were part of a concerted effort by Twitter to clear up the platform, said the paper.

Many of the accounts are thought to be used by trolls or remotely controlled bots that abuse the service.

Twitter declined to comment on the Post story but said it was making an effort to "improve" public conversation on the social network.
