A fan campaign that successfully got Warner Bros. to release the extended version of Zack Snyder’s “Justice League” may have been helped out by a fake army.
The sometimes vicious Twitter movement was made up of at least 13% bots, according to data compiled by Rolling Stone Monday, significantly more than the less than 5% of fake accounts the social media site claims to have.
Warner Bros. reportedly commissioned two different studies on the origins of the campaign, which began from an account called @daniras_ilust, which shared a meme showing the decapitated heads of “Justice League” producer Geoff Johns, DC Films President Walter Hamada and Toby Emmerich, the former chairman of Warner Bros. Pictures Group chairman, according to Rolling Stone.
