I don’t know what to make of this, but it seems maybe important: twitter.com/jack/status/923555

Specifically, $1.9mm seems like the largest number I’ve heard so far on what foreign actors spent on influence in the US in 2016. Twitter likes money, so I can’t imagine them making this decision out of the good will of their hearts.

So this is both a large number and anomalous for Twitter, and I’m curious what it means.

Influence since* 2016, that is, assuming this is referencing FY2016 plus some projection on their part.
