These datasets comprise of 3,841 accounts affiliated with the Internet Research Agency, originating in Russia, and 770 other accounts, potentially originating in Iran. They include more than 10 million Tweets & more than 2 million images, GIFs, videos, & Periscope broadcasts.
We are constantly seeking to improve our own ability to detect, understand, and neutralize these campaigns as quickly as technically possible. We continue to invest heavily in this area: blog.twitter.com/official/en_us…
