  Yea. It works as damage control for credibility, which is under threat not only by the musk suit, but because of the last huge data breach they had. Just an opinion mind you, but not from a hater or a "dunce". This is a huge story of significant relevance to Twitter and all users on the platform. "Suppressing unfavorable news" these days is just as big and profitable an industry as disinformation is.

  I don't have any factual evidence on the either side (I don't use Twitter at all, I even have Nitter extension to never visit that site even when linked to) - but I absolutely can believe they'd go for "all in" strategy, and keep messing with the feeds even in light of all that. If they felt they have the right and responsibility to control the information and shape the discussion on the Internet, they'd still feel that now, despite all the "mistakes were made" - in fact, they'd probably feel more urge to control things as they feel more threatened. And why not reduce the "misinformation" about their supposed wrongdoings - when all the most truest information about it has been already disseminated by them, why allow "irresponsible parties" to "misinform" the public? Surely it should be stopped. It's the way they always have been thinking, why would they change now?
