Twitter Sends Users Creepy ‘Big Brother’ Email Regarding Secret ‘Russian Influence’ Online
Gateway Pundit ^ | 1/19/18 | Cristina Laila

Posted on 01/19/2018 7:12:54 PM PST by markomalley

On Friday, Twitter sent out an email to Twitter users regarding the so-called ‘Russian influence campaigns’ that took place on the social media platform during the 2016 presidential election.

The subject line of the email from Twitter read, “Information Regarding Russian Influence Campaigns on Twitter”.

The Gateway Pundit’s Associate Editor Cristina Laila received this email from Twitter on Friday.

The email informed users that Twitter is actively working to understand ‘Russian-linked activities’ on the platform that took place during the 2016 presidential election. Twitter claims they have identified and suspended a ‘number of accounts that were potentially connected to propaganda efforts by a Russian government-linked organization known as the Internet Research Agency’.

Here’s where the email turns creepy Big Brother…

Twitter users received this email because Twitter believes they either ‘followed, re-tweeted or liked’ content from one of these so-called Russian propaganda Twitter accounts.

Twitter went on to say there is no security concerns with the user accounts who receive these emails.

The social media giant also linked to a blog where people can view content from the suspended accounts.

According to Twitter’s blog post, they sent this email to 677,775 people in the United States:

Consistent with our commitment to transparency, we are emailing notifications to 677,775 people in the United States who followed one of these accounts or retweeted or liked a Tweet from these accounts during the election period. Because we have already suspended these accounts, the relevant content on Twitter is no longer publicly available.

In total, during the time period we investigated, the 3,814 identified IRA-linked accounts posted 175,993 Tweets, approximately 8.4% of which were election-related.

Twitter closed the email by saying they are actively working to stop malicious accounts and tweets from spreading and are committed to being transparent.

What about all of the fake Hillary Supporter accounts?

What does Twitter consider ‘malicious’? Well according to Project Veritas’ new undercover videos, Twitter is actively targeting Trump supporters with their algorithms.

Also, why does Twitter discriminate against Russians? Are they investigating other countries besides Russia who may have tweeted about the 2016 presidential election?

Vice Chairman of the Intel Committee, Senator Mark Warner (D-VA) previously raged about the dangerous ‘Russian Twitter trolls‘ and vowed to get to the bottom of it so he was just so proud of Twitter’s efforts…

From the Urban Dictionary:

Gaslighting

A form of intimidation or psychological abuse, sometimes called Ambient Abuse where false information is presented to the victim, making them doubt their own memory, perception and quite often, their sanity. The classic example of gaslighting is to switch something around on someone that you know they're sure to notice, but then deny knowing anything about it, and to explain that they "must be imagining things" when they challenge these changes.

Twitter will lose in the end.

Typical left...losing their minds because Trump was elected.

They thought they had control of everyone’s thoughts.

Come on now, who do you
Who do you, who do you, who do you think you are?
Ha, ha, ha – bless your soul!
You really think you’re in control?

Did Project Veritas ever follow up on their video message to Jack Dorsey last week?

I got one of those. It’s twitter propaganda.

Probably because I tweeted and re-tweeted dozens of messages with #ReleaseTheMemo in them.

Ordinary Twitter users brought #ReleaseTheMemo to #1 trending so THIS is what Twitter did back to them:

Can you freaking beat that...?!?!?!?!

Twitter is a cesspool. People will just tune out politics rather than get that muck all over themselves.

Good explanation (gas lighting) of Pravda Twitter.

I would venture to guess that primarily conservatives are receiving this propaganda email.

Did Twitter hire Mueller to do their investigation?

don’t you just love how the left labels poison something nice like illegal aliens = dreamers?

California is dying because of this and they want to spread it everywhere to keep the millions coming into their pockets from people with an interest in flooding us with 3rd world illegals.

He's right, too..! When it suited Feinstein to leak a classified report she "got a cold" and released it as she pleased, NO PENALTY:

WHY CAN'T **OUR GUYS** GET A SIMILAR COLD...?

No more dynasties.

I love Pres. Trump. But I will not vote for a family member of any previous President. That’s how we got the Bush and Clinton and Kennedy dynasties. We are not a monarchy and we don’t have inherited titles.

I have no problem with relatives of existing presidents running for, and getting elected, themselves.

They have to make a case to the American electorate and then win the election in their own right.

I’ve heard Donald Trump Jr. on radio talk shows as well as on television. I’ve seen his twitter posts.

Many have argued that he is more conservative (and hard core conservative) than his father.

It’s rather unfair to lump him in with members of other “political” families. Don Jr. would be light years better than Ted Kennedy, Bobby Kennedy, or any other Kennedy, as well as in a different class than George W. Bush, Jeb Bush, Hillary Clinton, Chelsea Clinton, etc.

It depends on the quality of the individual is what I am trying to say. Jebra Bush spent what, $130 million during the primaries and won two or three delegates. That’s because he was an awful candidate.

Now Ivanka on the other hand....too liberal.
