Penistone and Scunthorpe and now Memphis. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CcZdwX4noCE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CcZdwX4noCE As much as I dislike Twitter (I only really use it for work reasons) they are in a no win situation. They either moderate what people post with a flawed system that will never be 100% or be hounded by the "Why won't anyone think of the children" group.

No win? With hella bank roll and their engineering staff? BS. They've got a path forward but their management needs to see a new model - and they are not innovators/disruptors anymore. Prognosis: twitter will rot more for next 2-5 years and management won't notice till the ticker is affected. It will take a bit for consumer sentiment to reflect. Then we'll see a new CEO, some shake-up and grand announcement. I hope in that time tho a new challenger emerges.

  Look at YouTube and the multiple adpocalypses as an example. They have a massive bank roll and engineering staff but still fall foul of journos writing a story about "look at this content next to X's advert. We reached out to X for their take." which leads to a tanking of CPM, creators getting demonitised over news reporting, content creators self censoring to the determent of those with visiabilty issues (or simply being on mobile with a small screen) as instead of reading out a statement they will display it on screen in fear of YT's bots flagging because of their spoken content. No content moderation system will be 100% perfect, esp when you take it as a worldwide problem. And (atleast in the western world) facing demands for more and more content moderation. In an ideal world we should be able to leave it up to the user. But Twitter has self filters for years and centeral filtering on the platform has only increased not decreased.

  That sounds like the spooks giving a "nerd harder" response to being told backdoors will compromise security for everyone. Just because they have money and talent doesn't mean they can do the impossible.

    I'm not telling engineers to try harder. I'm telling managers to discover a less slimy model than outrage-to-engage.
