Despite real money being paid, there is no specific reason and no point of contact.

This follows right after Twitter deleting 10,000 accounts simply because the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee claimed that the accounts were spreading misinformation. One would hope that Republicans get a similar opportunity to wipe out opposing accounts, since misinformation is in the eye of the beholder, but this seems rather unlikely.
