New: Erica Marsh became one of the most consistently viral liberal accounts on Twitter. Only problem: She's probably fake. Her account was suspended after we asked Twitter workers about it. Doesn't this kind of rage baiting make you angry? Boost if you agree

A viral left-wing Twitter account may have been fake all along

For months, the Erica Marsh account had raised suspicions among online misinformation experts due to her lack of a real-world footprint and her devotion to attention-grabbing viewpoints one called “cartoonishly liberal.”

@drewharwell funny I looked at this one in March - it was clearly bait but couldn’t sort out what it was. What’s the story with that one connection she had on her Venmo account?
@Noupside Can't tell. I asked Venmo about it (a PayPal company!) but no answer yet. I also requested $0.01 from Erica so I could send her a message via Venmo, just in case she (he? they? it?) didn't see my other messages
