Twitter began rolling out chunks of data on foreign accounts, encompassing some 30 million tweets and a terabyte of media, last October, weeks ahead of the U.S. midterm elections. “This is a violation of our company principles, policies, and overarching mission to serve the public discourse,” Roth added.

The four Russian-linked accounts were affiliated with the Internet Research Agency, the country’s so-called troll farm that interfered in the 2016 U.S. election, as chronicled in the Mueller report.
