This is a real simple story.  There are a number of tools one can use to count the frequency of hashtags on twitter.  One is Keyhole.  There are many other great services.  But they will all tell you this:  Tweets with #SaveYourInternet hashtags appear to be at highest level in days. The only problem is it’s 2:00 AM in Brussels.  Does this seem like organic traffic to you?  (Display is set to US East Coast +6 hours for Brussels).

30.43% of all traffic today came from the US.  SaveYouInternet.eu sent the most traffic.  SaveYourInternet.eu is a website managed and controlled by N-Square. They are of course Google’s lobbyists in Brussels.  This looks to be Google spamming the EU with with tweets.  Don’t you agree?

Here are the two principals at N-Square.  The EU should make them come to EU Parliament and answer questions about their activities.

And just to be safe call this guy in.  Kent Walker, Google’s Senior Counsel.  You might want to ask him if their shenanigans in the EU are really about the copyright directive or are retaliation for the big antitrust fine the EU levied on Google.  Not saying they are. But what would it hurt to ask? You know, “clear the air.”
