On Wednesday, Twitter published a huge array of data showing foreign interference in the broadcasting of false news and influencing American public opinion over the past few years.
The recently published social media archive includes more than 10 million tweets, static and animated images, as well as live videos and broadcasts.
The content was shared by about 3,800 Russian-backed Internet Research Agency accounts, along with 770 accounts with potential links to Iran, according to Twitter.
The history of some tweets dates back to 2013 and some of these "misleading" publications have been shared this year.
Through the publication of this archive, Twitter seeks to give researchers an opportunity to study methods used by third parties to manipulate and disseminate false information in a way that affects public opinion.
The move comes from Twitter and major social networks after being widely criticized for being lenient with outsiders who have misused social platforms for political ends.
Twitter has taken several steps in recent months to limit the use of its platform to spread falsehoods and false news. In January, he suspended subsidized accounts from Russia, which he said greatly contributed to manipulating the recent US presidential election and recently removed millions of false accounts.
