“We have expanded the number of people notified about interactions with Twitter accounts potentially connected to a propaganda effort by a Russian government-linked organization known as the Internet Research Agency,” the social media service said in a blog post published in tandem with the roll-out of warnings emailed to individuals affected.
Twitter last month said it was alerting some
677,775 users in the U.S. who had either followed, liked or retweeted content created by accounts linked to the Internet Research Agency, or IRA, a so-called “troll farm” accused of conducting misinformation campaigns on behalf of Russia.Twitter has since started notifying any users who are based in the U.S. and either retweeted, quoted, replied to, mentioned or liked any content created by
3,814 IRA-linked accounts; followed the IRA-linked accounts at the time they were suspended; or might not have received last month’s notification based on their email settings, the company said in an update Wednesday.
“Approximately 1.4 million people have now received a notification from Twitter,” the update said.The notifications told Twitter users that they had engaged with IRA-linked accounts, albeit without specifying the content in question, according to screenshots shared by users who received alerts Wednesday.
