Russian election meddling...
Facebook might be in the spotlight over its role and impact in last year’s U.S. election, but it’s not the only one facing scrutiny, Selina Wang reports on bloomberg.com.
Twitter’s representatives will be meeting with the Senate Intelligence Panel on Thursday to talk about the spread of misinformation and bots, or automated accounts, on its platform, Wang wrote.
Both social-media companies have been struggling to get in front of the narrative that they have been slow to recognize and address problems of manipulation on their sites, she added.
Mark Zuckerberg at first denied that Facebook could have had any impact on the election, while Twitter has repeatedly said that its open and real-time platform serves as an antidote to fake news, Wang noted.
