    Twitter has apologized after the BBC found that the company's ad platform could be gamed to target neo-Nazis, Islamophobes and other hate groups. In a report published on Thursday, the BBC says it was able to use Twitter's advertising tools to broadly identify groups of people who may have been interested in topics like white supremacism and then pay to advertise to them.
