2 million ‘people’ that follow Michelle Obama on Twitter aren’t people at all

It’s not uncommon. Newt Gingrich had them. Justin Bieber has them. Now the First Lady is the latest to have her Twitter account followed by a massive amount of fake users.

Nearly 2 million of First Lady Michelle Obama’s Twitter followers are not real.

According to the Twitter analytics application Status People, 37 percent of Michelle Obama’s 5,290, 506 Twitter followers — or approximately 1,957,487 followers — are considered fake. Thirty-five percent of her followers are inactive, and 28 percent are considered “good,” or real.
