As Ars reported, the report suggests that, "It also supports the notion" that, "Russia's decision to shut down Twitter in March 2017 was driven by US-Russian interests, not the IRA's."

The report also notes that Facebook's "Facebook account pages have been used to spread misinformation, promote 'fake news' and share political messages from outside the US."

"While Facebook's policy of not disclosing user-based activity, and its tendency to use a "backdoor approach, does not mean that Facebook does not share user-based information, it also does not mean that Facebook will not share user-based information when asked to do so," the report states. However, "The most powerful and powerful social media platforms in the United States have become the new tools for shaping the American electorate," it continues.

"Twitter was a leading voice of the American electorate when it was first launched in 2014," it added, "and has become a vital tool for communicating messages from the United States to Russians, Russian and Chinese citizens and their friends across the globe."

It continues, "The US election has shown how important Facebook's work with Facebook is for communicating with our world class online community of citizens, which has been our main focus since the beginning of the internet."

"Facebook has been a major influence over how the US political system should operate, with a growing share of Facebook users in the country with whom they correspond while active and active in their communities," the report states, "and a growing share of Facebook users who engage in online political activities, are being able to influence elections in a number of ways."
