Jon Ronson discovers a spambot on twitter with the username 'Jon_Ronson', created by academics from Warwick University. He discusses his frustration with the fact many of the tweets seem plausible, even though they are about things he would never talk about himself. With the creators of this account refusing to take it down, Jon Ronson decides the only way to resolve this is by meeting them.
