Trump has been denying his campaign colluded with Russia. This doesn't contradict that, rather it shows that Twitter was the one 'colluding'.

- nathankunicki 9y agoNo, it shows Twitter partnering with a media organisation. I'm willing to bet Twitter offered similar deals to many other media outlets, both US and abroad. Twitter does nothing to promote biased reporting in this, merely that RT should use their platform for political reporting.
- imron 9y agoI agree hence the reason I put 'colluding' in quotes. This is grasping at straws.
- wavefunction 9y agoMultiple parties can collude with Russia. The fact that Twitter was and Trump extensively uses Twitter for his own propaganda might underline that fact.
- imron 9y ago> Trump extensively uses Twitter for his own propaganda might underline that fact. Him and how many other hundreds of millions of other users, using Twitter for its primary purpose. If 'Twitter sold ads to Russia and <candidate> used Twitter to promote their own propaganda' is the baseline for collusion with Russia to influence the election then that would make every single presidential candidate guilty of collusion also.
- wavefunction 9y agoOnly one candidate colluded with Russia though.
