"Twitter says duplicative messages violate its policy against platform manipulation and spam"
Sounds like retweeting should also be banned under this policy. But that would require some semblance of continuity and fairness in policy enforcement.

- eesmith 7y agoAhh, I see. Thanks! I couldn't use normal view to read the page without agreeing to the ToS so I switched to Firefox's reader view. That doesn't include the image. My reading is that the caption (which I can read by view-source) is a second-hand interpretation of Twitter's statements. I think the direct Twitter quote, which I copied earlier, is more relevant, and addresses vinniejames's concerns about retweets.

- eesmith 7y agoIn my sibling comment you'll see that I used Firefox's reader view, which didn't include that text. I don't believe that caption text correctly reflect Twitter's quoted response, which I quoted, and which I believe clarifies your question.
