Well, today "Amnesty" has been trending, because they had the fucking audacity to point out the new owners of Newcastle United have some ... um ... moral imperfections ...

Let& #39;s look at one tweet on this trend, and at the account that made it.

Kate& #39;s not happy with AI.

1/8
So, is Kate a long-time NUFC supporter?

Does she head up to St. James Park & support the Toon every other week?

I suspect not ...

(full disclosure: I& #39;ve encountered Ms. Stewart on Twitter before)

2/8
Kate& #39;s been kicking around on Twitter since 15th March 2018. She& #39;s got 90,686 tweets on file, or about 118/day as a mean.

Over the past 14 days, she& #39;s tweeted at least 3,231x, or ~212x/day as a mean.

Well. Busy woman. On Twitter anyway.

3/8
What does Kate tweet about?

Curiously, mostly about Saudi, Riyadh, and what a jolly good place it is, governed wisely and well by its enlightened Royal leadership.

4/8
In just over 2 years, Kate& #39;s accumulated 17,781 followers.

That& #39;s a lot for an otherwise anonymous account.

A lot.

Here& #39;s a sample of her followers. It& #39;s quite typical, in fact, perhaps slightly unrepresentative of the number of accounts based in Saudi who follow her.

5/8
Now, as I mentioned before, I& #39;ve encountered Kate before.

This is what she tweeting on 30th November 2018.

#/we_love_mbs indeed ...

6/8
Now, I& #39;m pretty conservative these days in making attributions, but frankly, between you and me ... I don& #39;t believe Kate Stewart exists.

In fact, I believe Kate Stewart is a fabricated account run by the Saudi regime to gaslight & bamboozle users & spread Saudi propaganda.

7/8
I know!

Shocking, eh?

And, what& #39;s more, on the various NUFC threads "she" to which she has contributed, all the NUFC fans have fallen for it hook, line & sinker.

I& #39;ve reported "her" to Twitter *repeatedly*.

"She"& #39;s not the only such account, of course.

8/8
PS

Here& #39;s Kate& #39;s activity over the past 14 days.
PPS

I& #39;ve just noticed that the follower sample doesn& #39;t render any of the Arabic script in their descriptions.

Here& #39;s a screenshot instead.
