Twitter’s content was a cesspool and has been for years. I’m not sure what additional harm these brands are worried about.
- ender341341 4y agoThere's a difference between "we're doing a bad job but we're trying to moderate content" & "we've cut back on even trying and some of the advertiser unfriendly content is coming from the CEO"
- RavingGoat 4y agoIt's very concerning that Elon's posts have so many comments but he's replying to so many far right crazies and conspiracy nuts comments.
- feet 4y agoIs it at all surprising though considering his past statements?
- prepend 4y agoIs there though? I’m not sure Twitter was really even trying. Or if that was the result of them trying, that’s pretty sad. I don’t think there’s a difference between “we say we’re trying and are completely incompetent” and whatever Twitter is doing now.
- frollo 4y agoThis is a big change, which is evoking some powerful reactions in people - it's pretty obvious that a company might want to get some distance between its brand and the maelstrom. They can always come back later, when things calm down. This way, if nothing happens, they can always come back silently (or spinning the story in a way they want). If some PR disaster happens, they are safely away from it. For me, this was to be expected and is a testament of how important Twitter has become in the marketing world that it isn't bleeding out advertisers even quicker.
