Twitter has handed over information about 201 accounts linked to Russian efforts to influence 2016 presidential election to the Senate investigators. However, it appears that the information may not be sufficient enough for investigators since the company has reportedly deleted tweets and other data linked to these accounts that is considered “of potentially irreplaceable value to investigators probing” the matter.

This news comes just a day after The Washington Post reported Facebook doing the same. Following a research that revealed that at least 20 million people were reached by ads bought by Russians on Facebook, the company has now scrubbed all that data off its platform suggesting that it was a “bug” that had enabled the researchers to access the data they should have never been able to in the first place.
