Just received an email from Twitter (see below) about "banning Russian propaganda" accounts. Not sure if this is legit, a hoax or phishing scam. Has anyone else received this email?
I have not clicked on any links about a "blog".
If this is legit, I sense a veiled threat when they mention that I've either visited, liked or retweeted these supposed "Russian tweets". It's as though they've "put me on notice" and they're documenting people.
On Friday, Twitter sent out an email to Twitter users regarding the so-called ‘Russian influence campaigns’ that took place on the social media platform during the 2016 presidential election.
The subject line of the email from Twitter read, “Information Regarding Russian Influence Campaigns on Twitter”.
The Gateway Pundit’s Associate Editor Cristina Laila received this email from Twitter on Friday.
The email informed users that Twitter is actively working to understand ‘Russian-linked activities’ on the platform that took place during the 2016 presidential election. Twitter claims they have identified and suspended a ‘number of accounts that were potentially connected to propaganda efforts by a Russian government-linked organization known as the Internet Research Agency’.
Here’s where the email turns creepy Big Brother…
Twitter users received this email because Twitter believes they either ‘followed, re-tweeted or liked’ content from one of these so-called Russian propaganda Twitter accounts.
The social media giant also linked to a blog where people can view content from the suspended accounts.
According to Twitter’s blog post, they sent this email to 677,775 people in the United States:
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. Because we have already suspended these accounts, the relevant content on Twitter is no longer publicly available.
In total, during the time period we investigated, the 3,814 identified IRA-linked accounts posted 175,993 Tweets, approximately 8.4% of which were election-related.
Twitter closed the email by saying they are actively working to stop malicious accounts and tweets from spreading and are committed to being transparent.
What about all of the fake Hillary Supporter accounts?
What does Twitter consider ‘malicious’? Well according to Project Veritas’ new undercover videos, Twitter is actively targeting Trump supporters with their algorithms.
Also, why does Twitter discriminate against Russians? Are they investigating other countries besides Russia who may have tweeted about the 2016 presidential election?
Vice Chairman of the Intel Committee, Senator Mark Warner (D-VA) previously raged about the dangerous ‘Russian Twitter trolls‘ and vowed to get to the bottom of it so he was just so proud of Twitter’s efforts…

>Lawmakers have sharply criticized social media companies for taking too long to recognize the seriousness of the Russian attempts to sow discord among U.S. voters. Twitter said that in preparation for the 2018 midterm elections it would verify major party candidates for all statewide and federal offices, with open “lines of communication” to federal and state officials. The company has also banned Russian state media accounts from buying ads and is creating a “transparency center” to show how much political campaigns spend on advertising, the identity of the organization funding the campaign, and what demographics the ads targeted.
>Twitter’s announcement Friday came after Facebook Inc. said it would show people which Russian propaganda pages or accounts they had followed or liked on its social network.

Most Russian bots have been churning out pro-Trump tweets. Whether they're related to the campaign itself or just perpetrated by an unrelated 3rd party, it shouldn't surprise anyone that the algorithms used to identify Russian bots will look at posts similar to that of the bots and users who are followed by a large number of Russian bots.
That's why if you follow certain right-wing figures or news sources the algorithm will get you to confirm your account; it's twitter's way of sifting bots out - that's just how it works.
Go start a porn twitter, share porn links and follow other porn accounts and the same thing will happen - the algorithm will identify you as a potential porn bot and get you to confirm your identity.

Twitter kept auto following me to some famous metrosexual youtube teenager fag and i called him a faggot on a tweet and got banned for 2 weeks.
If they really are concerned about bots, why don't they use captcha?

>Twitter says it will notify nearly 700,000 users who interacted with accounts the company has identified as potential pieces of a propaganda effort by the Russian government during the 2016 presidential election.
>The company on Friday also disclosed thousands of accounts that it said were associated with the Kremlin-linked troll farm, the Internet Research Agency (IRA) and the Russian government, adding to numbers that it released to Congress in October.
It isn't necessary that, it's their "automation detection". At this point only ISIS knows how to avoid it.
It's basically just some really dumb rules to """detect""" """automation""". So if you for instance, cut paste a password in instead of typing and so it will trigger it, stupid rules like that all over and they keep on adding them.
Granted I would not rule out at following certain people wouldn't trig it. Following too many with once etc is also such a rule. I haven't created an account in ages now, they killed most by now. Before it got too bad I made like 100+ or so
They talk about ml and so all the time, to try to sound like they are good at what they are doing, but they suck, and that's how this shit works. Stupid meaningless checks
Chase Wilson
Reminder that they're not disputing that Twitter/Facebook/Reddit's primary purpose is mass population thought control, they're just upset that someone OTHER THAN THEM was able to use it.
They also don't give a fuck about "foreign influence" because there is no mention that Saudi literally owns part of twitter, no mention of the hundreds of thousands of Jews and Israelite's who use twitter every day to push liberal propaganda.
No mass banning of Austrailian, Canadian, or Euro accounts that pushed liberal political propaganda during the AMERICAN election.

Maybe underestimating is a mistake. I don't think most people will believe Twitter and media just made up the Russian bots. We couldn't convince anyone of that.

I one up you fuckah.
I am in communist Hawaii. The government uses civilian snitch gruops for violence against opponents. Neighborhood watch groups in the wealthy areas, mega church groups (Militarized, they have uniforms and try to act like cops) and drug dealers/felons protected by the prosecutor.
The federal police give them slogans and catchphrases to say when they do stuff, like rape or murder.
One of the recent catchphrases they use is "He is a Russian".
This is a catchphrase they say when they violently attack people. Usually poor and homeless. Only if they are crippled or unarmed. If they get scared because you can fight them off, they run away calling the cops and the cops frame you then they all circlejerk boasting how they set up an innocent person while claiming to be law enforcement.

As long as twitter is free, they won't give a shit what users say or think. The users are the product. The advertisers are the customer.
That's why the phone company doesn't fuck with you like this. You actually pay them.
It's a shit model. "free" just means creepy fingerprinting of various things on your devices and tracking your moves so they can rip of an ad agency, and the ad agency can rip off some business that wants to sell you some chicago hotdogs fresh off the plane.
The solution, is to start paying and destroy sjw/cuck/clickbait the ad revenue biz model. Same with news.
