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.

Whores at least tell you up front what sort of fucking you'll get for your money.
Whereas the government sees how much fucking it can do with you for your money, then keeps cleaning out your wallet on a yearly basis.
It's like marriage if your SO was big dicked/strapon wearing top with a penchant for abusive language, passing you around amongst their friends, and ruining your out of lifestyle life, just because they can!
Go government! The abusive top most people don't realize they have!
