Those bots are used inside Russia too, for example, they like and repost pro-government tweets and add agressive comments to tweets from opposition politians to make it look like common people don't like them. They reply to the tweets so there is a real human behind the account. They are not a computer program. But of course Twitter has no obligation to ban them. If anyone is interested, here is an example of probably bot account [1]. It was registered in Nov 2013 and has posted 27 000 tweets and retweets which is 18.5 tweets per day on average. Another account [2] has a random user id and has posted 2000 tweets in last 3 months. And by the way I don't think that bots influenced election results. I watched the debates and Hillary's position was very weak.
