Twitter (TWTR) is set to release its third-quarter earnings results at a time of heightened scrutiny of its social network. As Twitter’s platform cleanup efforts kick into high gear, accounts pumping out political content have come into sharp focus. In an update on its election integrity work, Twitter said early this month that it had shut down dozens of accounts in August after detecting that those accounts had falsified their affiliation with the Republican Party.
