"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 explained in its blog post.
This is all part of Twitter's continued efforts to notify both the public and elected officials of just how far Russian-connected groups went to influence the 2016 presidential election via social media.
"[We] have identified 13,512 additional accounts, for a total of 50,258 automated accounts that we identified as Russian-linked and Tweeting election-related content during the election period," the company added, "representing approximately two one-hundredths of a percent (0.016%) of the total accounts on Twitter at the time."
