From CNET: Once the Internet Research Agency was outed on Facebook and Twitter, Instagram became the new haven for Russia's disinformation campaign.
That's the take away from two comprehensive reports on Russia's social media manipulation efforts released on Monday. One is from researchers at New Knowledge, a cybersecurity firm, and the other from researchers at Oxford University's Computational Propaganda Research Project and Graphika.
The Senate Select Committee on Intelligence provided the data for the reports, which it received from companies including Facebook, Google and Twitter. This is the first complete analysis of Russia's disinformation efforts during the 2016 US presidential election from a third party outside of the social networks.
"Our singular focus is to improve the health of the public conversation on our platform, and protecting the integrity of elections is an important aspect of that mission," a Twitter spokesperson said in an email.
Google declined to comment.
