> The centre of those circles *appear* to be real people. I can’t say *why* they have lots of fake followers - it’s possible that they - or someone else - has just bought them to make it look like they’re more popular than they really are. There’s no suggestion that they control the fake accounts.

C’est la raison pour laquelle il est difficile de lutter contre le *spam*, certains n’hésitent pas à en abuser. Est-ce que les personnes qui achètent des *followers* ne sont pas une forme de *spam* également ? Pas pour Twitter apparemment.
