Thus the aftereffects of the accounts the Kremlin-directed trolls remain even after Twitter suspended the IRA accounts. https://t.co/XhMZBVVZKL @DarrenLinvill @plwarre https://t.co/8YQFddypMk — PolitiTweet.org

IRA trolls used retweet strategy to help make more extreme users more famous, encouraging them to tweet more, tipping the balance of online conversation toward the fringes https://t.co/kscEB7llOA. New dimensions to influence operations uncovered by @DarrenLinvill @plwarre — PolitiTweet.org

[The nearly 3.4k Facebook and Instagram ads the IRA purchased are...minor in relation to the over 61.5k Facebook posts, 116k Instagram posts, and 10.4 mil tweets ... the original creations of IRA influence operatives, disseminated under the guise of authentic user activity] — PolitiTweet.org

“The Committee found that paid advertisements were not key to the IRA's activity, and moreover, are not alone an accurate measure of the IRA's operational scope, scale, objectives, despite... being a focus of early press reporting and public awareness” — PolitiTweet.org

Ben Popken @bpopken

Good read @pbump https://t.co/eA4kjstriq but wonder about analysis of paid ads as major basis for saying Kremlin-directed social media activity didn't impact election. Senate report said paid ads weren't key and only give partial glimpse. IRA had more organic posts and retweets. — PolitiTweet.org

@rwindrem @TulsiGabbard Here's what we said about Tulsi's mentions on Russian state media in February using our own internal analysis: https://t.co/EA8GuQ5CEb — PolitiTweet.org

Ben Popken @bpopken

NYT supports NBC's @rwindrem analysis from Feb: @TulsiGabbard is frequently mentioned by Russian state media for a low-polling candidate. We noted also at the time she was mentioned much more frequently than other Dem candidates. https://t.co/bCpTdWG0Bo https://t.co/Z0AAFRxSaS https://t.co/k9H6WJyLYX — PolitiTweet.org
