Identify fake Twitter accounts with BotSight

BotSight from NortonLifeLock is a real-time Twitter annotator that lets you identify suspicious Twitter accounts. It lets you browse Twitter while annotating each Twitter handle with a bot-probability score. The generated scores are then shown directly on the Twitter page, which lets you differentiate between a real person or a bot.

BotSight is available as a browser extension on Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox, as well as an iOS app. To know more about Twitter bots and BotSight, see What's a Twitter bot and how to spot one.
