Internet Activity
In September 2012 The Guardian reported that Shapps had been surreptitiously editing his Wikipedia biography, removing a list of 'unfortunate gaffs' and deleting details of his school qualifications (it was said this was done because he had "five not four O-levels") and the identity of financial donors to his private office. Asked to comment, Shapps told the Daily Mail that in fact he had not edited his Wikipedia article in years: "these days when I see stuff that's blatantly wrong on my Wiki page, I just shrug my shoulders. If people want to claim I'm a Jehovah's Witness, agnostic or crashed a car into a school wall—all real edits I'd previously changed—then I just leave them to it."
It also emerged in research carried out by Yatterbox, "a political marketing consultancy firm", that he—or a person who was able to use his account—appeared to have been periodically adding 5,000 people at a time to those he followed on his Twitter account, including "the organisers of a beekeeping project in Morocco". If the people he followed did not respond by following him in return, he then "unfollowed" them.
