Twitter received nearly $200,000 for campaign ads from 2012 through 2019 but failed to follow Washington state disclosure laws, the attorney-general's office said in a statement.
The company failed to maintain the required records for at least 38 Washington candidates and committees that reported paying $194,550 for political advertising on Twitter's platform since 2012, according to papers filed at the King County Superior Court.

"This resolution is reflective of our commitment to transparency and accountability."
