(Bloomberg) -- Twitter Inc. was accused of ignoring a report that mail bombing suspect Cesar Altieri Sayoc used the social-media service to threaten another user, putting a spotlight on the company’s lax enforcement of its rules. Sayoc was arrested and charged in connection with mailing at least 13 suspected explosive devices to prominent Democrats and CNN, U.S. officials said Friday. A Twitter account by the name of Cesar Altieri with the handle @hardrock2016 posted threats, criticized Democratic leaders and distributed pro-Trump messages. An account under the name Rochelle Ritchie, a former congressional press secretary, tweeted a screenshot on Friday of a tweet she received from the Altieri account that she said threatened her life.
