Image credit TwitterTwitter made headlines in the tech world today with the announcement that the default avatar is changing from an egg shape to a sort of shapeless human blob silhouette. The post explains that, in part, Twitter feels like the new default avatar will be incentive for people to stop using the default avatar. Trump’s account has more than 6 million, and Barack Obama has just under 18 million fake accounts according to Twitter Audit. Based on just those three accounts—which is an admittedly small sampling—it seems that roughly 20 percent of all Twitter accounts are fake. Changing the default avatar for those accounts from an egg to a human silhouette doesn’t solve anything.
