On Thursday, Twitter barred Sputnik and RT from using its platform for advertising on the pretext of their alleged attempts to meddle in the 2016 presidential election in the United States.
The RT broadcaster has published Twitter's full pitch for an ample advertisement buy just prior to the voting in the United States. RT has said it spent less than $280,000 in US Twitter ads in 2016, with only a small portion of that being used for covering the election. IT specialist Zdravko Jankovic joked that RT's actual spending would have deserved kudos if that sum of money could have been enough to influence the US vote.
