CNN sent Twitter more than 50 specific questions related to the report, which was sent to the FTC, DOJ, SEC and members of Congress. Twitter provided a number of responses saying, among other things, it has been in compliance with the 2011 FTC order all along. And a statement: https://t.co/TAkktR4Kdf — PolitiTweet.org

Perhaps nothing sums up this unprecedented robocall takedown like this quote from Ohio’s AG, @DaveYostOH: “If a slap on the wrist doesn’t work, punch them in the face and knock them out. Take every dime they’ve got.” https://t.co/Tool06nKjC — PolitiTweet.org

After billions of illegal calls, authorities successfully disrupted the op using a combo of techniques that showcase the future of robocall takedowns. It’s taken years for many of these pieces to come together, including new tech and new law. https://t.co/Tool06nKjC — PolitiTweet.org

The operation allegedly bought millions of phone numbers to use in the scheme. At one point, one of the ringleaders allegedly hired a company to design a bot to handle victims’ responses. https://t.co/Tool06nKjC — PolitiTweet.org
