Representatives from Twitter will meet with staff from the U.S. Senate Select Committee on Intelligence next week in connection with the panel's investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 election.
The social media company says that it will address fake bot accounts as well as the dissemination of hoax stories and false news on its platform with committee staffers.
“We are cooperating with the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence in its inquiry into the 2016 election and will meet with committee staff next week,” a Twitter spokesperson told The Hill on Thursday. “Twitter deeply respects the integrity of the election process, a cornerstone of all democracies, and will continue to strengthen our platform against bots and other forms of manipulation that violate our Terms of Service.”
Senate investigators are expanding their probe into Russia's use of social media to influence Americans during the election.
I have been waiting for Twitter to be called to testify about their part in helping to steal this election.
I think they are at least as complicit as Facebook in what happened, and I am sure they have a lot of valuable information to share with investigators.
If they really wanted to demonstrate their patriotism they would close Donald Trump's account.
