 "Twitter plans to provide Elon Musk with data on bots, says report")
Twitter Inc plans to comply with Elon Musk's demand for data on fake accounts, the Washington Post reported on Wednesday, citing a person familiar with the company's thinking.
The social media company will provide Musk with access to a stream of data comprising more than 500 million tweets posted every day, the Post reported.
Musk warned Twitter on Monday that he might walk away from his $44 billion deal to acquire the company if it fails to provide the data on spam and fake accounts that he seeks.
Shares of Twitter rose 1.6% in afternoon trading after the report.
Twitter did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.
