Pope Francis, US President Trump and PM Narendra Modi are the top three followed accounts globally, says Newslaundry. The Pope and President comfortably outnumber PM Modi in number of Twitter followers. But they are no match for Modi when it comes to percentage of fake followers. While 37% of Trump’s 48.9 million followers are fake, 60% of the Indian Prime Minister’s 41 million followers are fake, revealed media outlets citing audits by Twitter Audit.com and Twiplomacy. The reports say 59% of Pope Francis’ 17 million followers are fake.

This would give PM Modi the somewhat dubious distinction of having the most number of fake Twitter followers in the world.
