* Twitter adjusted its advertising policy following a political pressure campaign, which accelerated following a September 2017 press conference by Democratic Sen. Mark Warner of Virginia, allowing U.S. intelligence agencies to have greater influence on the decision to remove advertisers from the platform, according to internal documents published by independent journalist Matt Taibbi Tuesday.
* A pair of audits conducted by Twitter staff prior to and during the pressure campaign did not find significant evidence of a targeted Russian election interference campaign on the platform, Taibbi reported.
* “Warner has political incentive to keep this issue at the top of the news, maintain pressure on us and [the] rest of industry to keep producing material for them …” wrote one Twitter executive, whose name Taibbi redacted, in a September 2017 email to other executives. “Democrats are also taking cues from Hillary Clinton.”
Twitter staff relented to a pressure campaign spearheaded by a Democratic lawmaker in the fall of 2017, changing its advertising policy to allow for a closer relationship with U.S. intelligence agencies, according to internal documents published Tuesday by independent journalist Matt Taibbi.
Twitter executives did not believe that there was significant activity by Russian election interference groups on the platform as of Sept. 6, 2017, and had internally decided to direct concerned reporters to Facebook, who they believed to be facing the brunt of congressional scrutiny, according to Taibbi. However, Twitter faced renewed pressure after Democratic Sen. Mark Warner of Virginia — then the vice chair of the Senate’s Intelligence Committee — slammed the company later in the month for producing a “frankly inadequate” report on Russian activity on the platform, in which the company informed the committee that it had suspended just 22 of 2,700 accounts it had suspected of being aligned with Russian influence groups, according to Taibbi.
