Twitter is banning all ads from Russian news agencies and Sputnik

[Jacque67 7,328]

• Twitter announced on Thursday that it will ban all ads from Russian news agencies RT and Sputnik effective immediately.
• The policy change comes one week before Twitter representatives are set to testify before the Senate Intelligence Committee about how Russia exploited the platform during the election.
• The company said it will donate the $1.9 million it is "projected to have earned from RT global advertising since they became an advertiser in 2011."

Twitter announced on Thursday that it will ban all advertisements from Russian news agencies RT and Sputnik effective immediately.

"Twitter has made the policy decision to off-board advertising from all accounts owned by Russia Today (RT) and Sputnik, effective immediately," the company wrote in a statement posted on its blog.

"This decision was based on the retrospective work we've been doing around the 2016 U.S. election and the  U.S. intelligence community’s conclusion  that both RT and Sputnik attempted to interfere with the election on behalf of the Russian government."

Interesting, I wonder if their shareholders are happy with them turning down revenue?

I wouldn't be if I was a share holder with them. I would wonder why they are turning down ad revenue because they are leaking money like a sieve. They MIGHT be making the first profit ever this year.

Rosenstein thinks Americans are "too savvy" for R ads to work. Hmm...well there are some out there who believe HRC murdered Seth Rich, ran a pedo ring out of the basement of a pizza shop, sold uranium all while dying of an illness (LD)
