A Twitter account in Turkey that once featured an attractive woman with exposed cleavage is now sending out anti-opposition propaganda to its followers. When it just had the pictures of the woman it gained over 40,000 followers. Now it has gone through a complete makeover and is now accusing those against the Erdogan government of voter fraud.

“The photo on the Twitter account in question showed an attractive young woman, cleavage pressed out to the world—a cliché online ploy, sure, but one that came with tens of thousands of followers. That was then.
