The accounts were removed after the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) called attention to them, according to Reuters, which first reported the news. We removed a series of accounts for engaging in attempts to share disinformation in an automated fashion — a violation of our policies. We stopped this quickly and at its source," a Twitter spokesperson told Fox News. The number of accounts is relatively small when compared with the millions of accounts Twitter deleted that were said to be spreading disinformation during the 2016 presidential campaign. Our policies are written to support this work — including when the results are unflattering to Twitter," Roth wrote.
