A letter was written by Damian Collins MP, the Chair of the Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Committee to the Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey on Friday, as part of parliament’s investigation into “Fake News” that Russians are using twitter bots to interfere in LONDON political affairs.
The letter follows a similar recent request to Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg.
Asking the same issue from him.
In his letter today, Collins asks Dorsey to produce a list of accounts “linked to the Internet Research Agency and any other Russian linked accounts that it [Twitter] has removed and examples of any posts from these accounts that are linked to the United Kingdom.”
The Conservative MP for Folkestone has asked Dorsey to provide evidence to the Committee by the end of November.
THE LETTER GOES THUS
MPs in Britain, Labour’s Ben Bradshaw and Chris Bryant have been putting pressure on the government to step up its efforts in investigating what role if any Russia has played in influencing British politics, including last year’s EU referendum.
The UK Electoral Commission has opened an investigation into UKIP donor Arron Banks over his donations during the EU referendum last year amid allegations that some of the money he donated to Leave.EU originated from Russia.
