I got this email from Twitter. Is it likely a link to malicious web site?

Dear ......,

As part of our recent work to understand Russian-linked activities on Twitter during the 2016 U.S. presidential election, we identified and suspended a number of accounts that were potentially connected to a propaganda effort by a Russian government-linked organization known as the Internet Research Agency.

Consistent with our commitment to transparency, we are emailing you because we have reason to believe that you either followed one of these accounts or retweeted or liked content from these accounts during the election period. This is purely for your own information purposes, and is not related to a security concern for your account.

We are sharing this information so that you can learn more about these accounts and the nature of the Russian propaganda effort. You can see examples of content from these suspended accounts on our blog if you're interested.

People look to Twitter for useful, timely, and appropriate information. We are taking active steps to stop malicious accounts and Tweets from spreading, and we are determined to keep ahead of the tactics of bad actors. For example, in recent months we have developed new techniques to identify accounts manipulating our platform, have improved our process for challenging suspicious accounts, and have introduced new measures designed to identify and take action on coordinated malicious activity. In 2018, we are building on these improvements. Our blog also contains more information about these efforts.

People come to Twitter to see what's happening in the world. We are committed to making it the best place to do that and to being transparent with the people who use and trust our platform.

I can proudly state that never in my life have I ever once ‘tweeted’.

Did you at any point from Friday forward tweet the hashtag: #ReleaseTheMemo ?

If you did, twitter is trying to intimidate you into thinking you're being watched as a Russian bot. It's ENTIRELY an attempt to suppress conservatives on their platform. [It's going hilariously wrong.]

Sounds like twitter (or someone) is working hard to keep the Russia collusion hoax alive.

Yes I did. Wow. So THAT’S where this came from.

It’s kind of like, ‘Big Brother is watching you’ stuff.

Many of the people who were tweeting to release the Memo got this message right after the Russian bot narrative was released by the Liberal MSM. Also many accounts were shadow banned and even suspended. This memo is an attempt by Twitter to explain those actions taken against good people who wanted the memo released. As you may have already noticed the entire Russian bot narrative came from a democrat organization run by leftists. Everything they don’t like is the Russian’s fault. It started with Trump winning the election.

Just so people know, I didn’t click on the link sent to me to their blog. I wasn’t sure who this is from but it is so spooky.

A real veiled threat and an attempt to crush freedom of speech.

It’s an intimidation tactic Twitter is using in an attempt to scare, silence and plant seeds of doubt in anyone that doesn’t adhere to liberal dogma.

How do you find out if you’re shadow banned.

I’ve never tweeted but am wondering if they install cookies and know where you lurk on the internet???? Sounds like a deep state tactic to me.

“How do you find out if you’re shadow banned.”

Not exactly sure, but when only the first tweet you post shows up, that might be an indicator.

Did Q have a post where he talked about what to do if you’re shadow-banned, to get it undone? I thought I saw something about that in a post earlier this evening.

No need to click on the link unless you like propaganda.

I may have missed it. I remember seeing one saying to keep up the tweeting that it was working.

So basically 700K people Tweeted the #ReleaseTheMemo, it seems they all got the message even those who weren’t on Twitter during the election.
