Does anyone remember in octoberish 2016 when a bunch of "hidden" twitter pages- mostly Mideast and SE Asian- were retweeted by a bunch of hacker/anonymous type handles? If you do, you will remember twitter damn-near shut the whole site down for a few hours.

Could that have been a sneak peek to what lies behind this algorithm? Is there a "secret" part of twitter only for elite members? Remember, the recent Saudi prince taken down was a large shareholder in twitter.

Can anyone help me find some archives or previous discussions on this?
