(CNN/Money) A Twitter bot named @EveryTrumpDonor is publicizing the names of everyone donating to Donald Trump’s presidential campaign.
Federal Election Commission data is public, but a 31-year-old computer programmer named Adam Kraft said that most aren’t aware of that. Kraft is behind @EveryTrumpDonor, as well as two other politically oriented Twitter bots, @EveryDemDonor and @EveryGOPDonor.
Kraft — who said he’s developed roughly 10 Twitter bots in total — has programmed the bots to spit out the contribution amount along with the donor’s name, location and profession based on FEC data. Each bot tweets about once every 30 minutes.
