Twitter breaks bad news to 677,775 twits: You were duped by Russia
Election manipulation wasn't as bad as feared – it was worse
The micro-blogging website said that, during the White House race, some 677,775 people followed accounts controlled by Russian propaganda groups, or liked or favorited their tweets. That's a tiny amount compared to Twitter's estimated 69 million active monthly users in America, and 328 million globally, but we note that the web upstart hasn't said how many people total saw Moscow's retweeted or liked disinformation.
