Great and thorough piece by @tomjs 'Twitter let Russia churn out anti-Ukrainian propaganda and disinformation for weeks during war' inews.co.uk/news/world/twi… #ukraine #disinformation
'Despite the platform’s own policies, only 6 per cent of Kremlin-linked embassy accounts were flagged as ‘state-affiliated’, i investigation shows'
'Rather than a rare oversight by Twitter... i found the accounts of Russian embassies across the world are regularly used to spread disinfo related to the invasion of #Ukraine and that the efficacy of this is boosted by inconsistent implementation of #disinformation policies.'
'i was able to identify 176 official accounts of Russian embassies, consular services or international missions online. Of these accounts 125 were “verified”, meaning that Twitter considered them to be authentic yet only ten were labelled as state-affiliated organisations.'
