"We estimate, for example, that at least 32 million US Twitter users were potentially exposed to posts from Russia-sponsored accounts in the eight months leading up to the 2016 election. Facebook has estimated, by comparison, that 126 million users had the potential to view Russian state-sponsored content on its platform over a two year period"

Seems like all the political influence action was on Facebook. Twitter was just more "public" than the "walled garden" of FB.

"potentially" is doing a lot of heavy lifting here.
