BBC Europe – Russia meddled on Twitter after UK terror attacks, study says. Suspected Russia-linked Twitter accounts were used to “extend the impact and harm” of four 2017 terrorist attacks in the UK, a study says. Cardiff University researchers have found hundreds of related messages in 47 accounts previously tied to Russia. Some posts were anti-Muslim in nature, while others were critical of those who held such views, they report. Moscow has not commented but has denied past claims it sought to meddle in Western democracies via social media.
