News Blog C11-2: Rogue Twitter Accounts

NPR has looked into why rogue Twitter accounts have been popping up all over the place. All of the accounts have a similar mission which is "'unofficial resistance'". There have been rogue accounts for specific parks and even organizations like NASA. Many accounts were initially claimed to be run by members of the organization but lately they have been altered to remain anonymous. "Fake" accounts have always existed for celebrities, movie characters, and even some that have impersonated a North Korean News Service. The point of these accounts is to prevent a media black out. They are preventing Trump from putting out fake facts but tweeting about real ones.
