Twitter admitted Friday that more Internet trolls, unleashed by the Russian government, spread divisive messages and disinformation during the U.S. presidential election than it originally said.
And the social media company says it's emailing notifications to the 677,775 people who were exposed to the content during the election.
Twitter now says it has identified 3,184 accounts run by the Kremlin-linked Internet Research Agency, up from 1,062. Those accounts posted 175,993 Tweets, about 8.4% of which were election-related, Twitter said. Twitter initially said it had discovered 2,200 accounts tied to the shadowy organization known as a troll farm because it uses fake social media accounts to stir controversy and conflict.
Twitter: There were more Russian trolls than we thought
Russian trolls created Facebook events seen by more than 300,000 users - Jan. 26, 2018

In one case, the troll group organized and promoted two opposing events on the same day at the same location in Houston, Texas.
"Heart of Texas," a page that posed as a pro-Texas secession organization, promoted a "Stop Islamization of Texas" protest at the opening of a library at an Islamic Center on May 21, 2016. The same troll group used another page, "United Muslims of America," to promote a "Save Islamic Knowledge" event at the same time.
