After RT published excerpts from Twitter's "limited offer" to spend millions on US election marketing, the company abruptly banned all advertising from the news network. This makes full disclosure and transparency imperative, so here goes.
On Thursday, the micro-blogging platform announced a policy decision to ban ads from RT and Sputnik, citing alleged meddling in the 2016 US election.
It followed Twitter's report implying that RT was trying to influence US public opinion, crucially without providing context that virtually all news media organizations spend money on advertising their news coverage.
...
RT was thereby forced to reveal some details of the 2016 negotiations during which Twitter representatives made an exclusive multi-million dollar advertising proposal to spend big during the US presidential election, which was turned down.Having since been banned, and in order to set the record straight, we are publishing Twitter's presentation and details of the offer in full.

What about it? its terrible. it ministry of truth - and it ties right into the article from yesterday about how and why sites like this, too small to get paid trolls, are sites that some would like to see shut down entirely. can't have small enterprises compete with the state-sponsored machinations so they misrepresent to cause a chilling effect while accusing others of what they do themselves! its a bummer how much air-time these people and their liars get. stupid social shaping. stupid starry eyed 20yos.
