Twitter suspends hundreds of bot accounts used to spread pro-China propaganda during the Beijing Olympics,

Twitter says it removed the accounts for violating a policy that forbids 'coordinated activity that attempts to artificially influence conversations'

The accounts were used in an attempt to portray China in a positive light despite the nation's human rights abuses and lax environmental policies

Paid influencers and bot accounts worked to counter widespread criticisms with by painting China as an environmental champion and technological leader

It's not the first time Twitter has cracked down on fake accounts

Last year it removed 2,048 'accounts that amplified Chinese Communist Party narratives related to the treatment of the Uyghur population in Xinjiang'
