Twitter to tell 677,775 people they interacted with Kremlin-linked trolls

Huh, I'll bet that the Twitter salutation will go something like this:

Dear credulous dumb-ass......... you were had. We regret that your inadequate education left you bereft of the critical thinking skills necessary to not fall for bat-shit crazy nonsense.

Not our fault. Get your shit together.

Hey Roy, how about posting that as a 'sticky'? Sort of a 'sorbet' to cleanse the 'mental palate' of SOME who post here?

Source: CNN Ooooooh, 'fake news', so sad.

Twitter will inform nearly 700,000 people in the U.S. that they either followed a Kremlin-linked troll account, or retweeted or liked a tweet sent by one of the accounts, the social media company said Friday.

The company last year identified thousands of Twitter accounts associated with the Internet Research Agency, a Russian government-linked troll army in St. Petersburg that worked to meddle in the 2016 U.S. presidential election and to promote chaos and division in American society more generally.

"Consistent with our commitment to transparency, we are emailing notifications to 677,775 people in the United States who followed one of these accounts or retweeted or liked a Tweet from these accounts during the election period," Twitter said in a blog post announcing the move.

Twitter initially said it had found 200 accounts linked to the group. Then it told Congress last fall that it had identified 2,752 accounts linked to the group. On Friday, Twitter said it had since identified an additional 1,062 accounts, bringing the total to 3,814. The accounts together sent more than 175,000 tweets, the company said.
