      You folks seem to love the slippery slope argument. There’s clearly a difference between facts and fiction. Not allowing clearly and proven false advertising on the platform elevates that advertising and makes it even more valuable. At least to me. And makes me want to use the platform even more thereby increasing engagement and then driving up ad value and prices. Advertising honesty != a forced famine nor is it forcing Russian Americans into camps like we did to Japanese citizen in WW2.

    This is an absolutely absurd thing to say and is about half a degree away from reductio ad Hitlerum. We’re talking about misleading advertisements here, try to stay grounded when you think about these things.

  You're just yea-saying. Who defines public good? You and Twitter whoever they are behind the scenes? Clearly there are matters of which we should know nothing. And folk like you will protect us.

    If we stay within scope of the action taken here we can clearly see that this is Twitter enforcing some truth in its advertising. Now if it would just ban crypto ads … but I’m not head of advertising at Twitter so it won’t happen.

    Also this is the actions of a company. Not a government. A company seeking to limit who or what to advertise. That’s gotta tick a few right of center (politically) boxes no?
