FPRI’s Fox Fellow Watts Cited by Bloomberg on Twitter’s Response to Russian Accounts
More recently, Twitter has doubled down on security. In its testimony, the company’s general counsel said that it was dedicating all its engineering, product and design teams to rooting out Russian manipulation on its platform. It also said it’s improved algorithms to actively block suspicious logins and spam accounts. Yet experts are less than impressed.

Facebook is the best based on my experience. Google is not far behind. Twitter would be last and always resists.”
