Twitter is finally following Facebook's lead and coming clean about how Russian trolls abused their platform in spreading misinformation ahead of the 2016 U.S. presidential election. But even in transparency, Twitter is still clouding the issue by literally deleting the evidence. 。
SEE ALSO:Americans say social media is destroying the news — but nobody knows what to do about it 。In late January, the company published a blog post detailing some of its findings on accounts run by the Russian-linked Internet Research Agency (IRA) that was responsible for many (if not most) of the malicious bot behavior across the platform. Other efforts included reaching out to Twitter users who interacted with these accounts and sharing a few examples of such content. 。
But.。
But.。
BUT.。
According to a report from NBC News, Twitter has been treating these accounts just like they treat your typical, run-of-the-mill spam accounts: by suspending them and, thus, deleting their tweets from the public view.。
And that's a big problem. 。

Given that so many users interacted with these accounts (Twitter says they sent notices to 1.4 million users), it's also important for users to understand what these tweets look like and how they can discern real from fake.。

And we're slowly starting to see how far back these Russian efforts go, like the report of a Russian troll-led hoax in 2015 that prompted fears of the KKK at the University of Missouri following several incidents of racial tension at the school. This goes deeper than we expected and we're still finding out new tidbits all the time.。
Deleted tweet database shows clarity。
To that end, NBC News has done us a service -- one that Twitter themselves should have done -- by releasing a database of the accused Russian accounts (.csv file) and thousands of their tweets (.csv file) that have otherwise been erased from the web.。
It's a valuable service that will give us the ability to see what was done before and, hopefully, help us learn what pitfalls to avoid in the future. It's just a damn shame, though not a surprise, that it's not Twitter that's sharing this resource.。
Anyone that's ever had to email Twitter about some sort of controversy related to specific accounts or tweets is familiar with the standard "we do not comment on specific accounts" reply. Which is why the company has faced so much backlash about how they've handled abusive behavior, even if they've finally started to (slowly) course correct.。
And Twitter damn well has an obligation to help us face those errors and prepare for what's next.。
