Twitter已经确定了2，752个帐户，它认为这些帐户与互联网研究机构（伊拉）有关，这是一家创建在线宣传的俄罗斯公司。这些账户被认为在Twitter上发布了关于美国2016年大选的信息，该名单已被Twitter提交给美国参议院犯罪和恐怖主义司法小组委员会作为证据。目前还没有爱尔兰共和伊拉官方公布的活跃于英国-欧盟公投辩论（Brexit）的账户名单，但我们发现，活跃于2016年美国大选的巨魔账户也制作了与英国脱欧相关的内容。我们从419个被列为伊拉账户的账户中发现了3，485条推文，这些账户专门讨论了英国脱欧以及欧盟和移民等相关话题。自2015年8月以来，我们一直在整理与英国脱欧相关的推文档案，目前有超过7000万条推文。英国脱欧公投于2016年6月23日举行，英国投票决定离开欧盟。我们使用Twitter API和一组学术专家选择的标签收集数据。目前，我们有超过50个不同的主题标签，我们定期添加到集合中，以准确地表示不断变化的对话。Twitter已经关闭了参议院名单中记录的账户，这意味着这些推文不再可以通过网页或API获得。由于Twitter的服务条款，我们无法分享特定的推文文本或用户个人资料信息，但我们的调查结果，利用衍生和汇总数据的文本和元数据，使我们能够对这些巨魔的行为提供重要的见解。
Twitter has identified 2,752 accounts that it believes are linked to the Internet Research Agency (IRA), a Russian company that creates online propaganda. These accounts are known to have tweeted about the US 2016 Elections and the list was submitted as evidence by Twitter to the United States Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Crime and Terrorism. There is no equivalent officially published list of accounts from the IRA known to be active in the UK-EU Referendum debate (Brexit), but we found that the troll accounts active on the 2016 US Election also produced content related to Brexit. We found 3,485 tweets from 419 of the accounts listed as IRA accounts which specifically discussed Brexit and related topics such as the EU and migration. We have been collating an archive of tweets related to Brexit since August 2015 and currently have over 70 million tweets. The Brexit referendum took place on the 23rd June 2016 and the UK voted to leave the European Union. We gathered the data using the Twitter API and a selection of hashtags chosen by a panel of academic experts. Currently we have in excess of fifty different hashtags and we add to the set periodically to accurately represent the evolving conversation. Twitter has closed the accounts that were documented in the Senate list meaning that these tweets are no longer available through the webpage or API. Due to Twitter's terms of service we are unable to share specific tweet text or user profile information but our findings, utilising text and metadata from derived and aggregated data, allows us to provide important insights into the behaviour of these trolls.
