British MP Damien Collins called on Twitter to publish examples of reports, which feature the UK, created by the Russian "troll factory". According to him, such messages can be "interference of foreign participants in the democratic process of the United Kingdom". This is reported by The Guardian.

Damien Collins, chairman of the committee on culture, media and sports, said he wants to see examples of reports about British politics after Twitter transferred a list of 2,272 trolley accounts to the US intelligence committee. At the moment all these accounts are blocked.

One of the accounts on this list published a widespread tweet, read during the terrorist attack on the Westminster Bridge in London. The @SouthLoneStar account published a photo of a woman in a scarf with the inscription: "A Muslim woman is not up to a terrorist attack, she just walks near a dying man, checking the phone.

The woman in the photo later commented on the incident: "I was shocked when I saw that my photo flashed across all social networks".

After the referendum in the EU, the account that was closed by Twitter, published: "I hope that Britain after #BrexitVote will begin to cleanse its land of the Muslim invasion! "And" Britain voted to leave the future European caliphate! #BrexitVote ».

Collins said it was clear that the deleted accounts were linked to an Internet research agency in St. Petersburg. Hundreds of paid bloggers work around the clock to fill Russian Internet forums, social networks and comments sections of Western media, praising Russian President Vladimir Putin, in every possible way blackening the West.

Earlier it was reported that authoritative American news media, including The Washington Post and Miami Herald, distributed propaganda tweets created by the Russian "troll factory". A total of 2,252 pro-Russian troll accounts were identified.

The deputy said he needs information about the impact on British politics by the end of November.

Last month, in a letter to Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, Collins also asked for "information about using Facebook advertising and accounts linked to Russia accounts during the 2016 referendum".

On Monday, Prime Minister Teresa May accused Russia of interfering in the elections and distributing fake stories in the media. The Prime Minister opposed the "scale and nature" of Russia's actions, saying that it "threatens the international order from which we all depend".
