Twitter Now Allows Political Donations Through a Tweet

Twitter Inc. has partnered with payment company Square to allow anyone in the U.S. to donate to a U.S. candidate using Twitter. The candidate has to sign up for a Square account and then can tweet with a button asking others to contribute to the campaign. People click on the button and then enter a debit card number for payment. The service will be available starting Tuesday.
