Exactly. There's no way Twitter didn't know it had a bot problem. Because pretty much everyone else knew that. It's only now that the government and media are putting pressure on Twitter to deal with "propaganda accounts" that the company is finally willing to remove those bots, which will diminish its number of "users." Also, if Twitter's analytics are so poor that it can't tell that a good percentage of its accounts are bots, then I feel sorry for the advertisers buying Twitter's pitch.
