Oct 29th dip was due to them reporting slowing user growth - https://www.cnn.com/2020/10/29/tech/twitter-earnings/index.html https://www.cnn.com/2020/10/29/tech/twitter-earnings/index.h... If twitters public impact is high, why would foreign governments allow them to operate in their country? It’s banned in China, and Uganda also banned social media prior to the election. This is not good for user growth, which is what twitter relies on to make money (eye balls for advertisers)

Advertisers don't want to buy ads next to some content (death threats, racism, conspiracy theories). If it grows a userbase that is advertising compatible, that is likely better for their bottom-line rather than appealing to a demographic nobody wants anything to do with.

  That demographics definitely has non-zero purchasing power, and thus is worth advertising products to. Marginalizing it will only further increase social tensions.
