I have never been one to be really interested in policy, but the whole twitter debacle has shown me how important it is for platforms to have not just have good policy, but be trustworthy enough to consistently implement them.
I have no idea what Elons goals are, but if he was actively trying to destroy the platform, I’m certain that I couldn’t have achieved that goal more efficiently than what he has been doing for the last 6 months or so.
- jacooper 4y agoI think its the first time we have seen a platform (or rather a platform owner) work against their users so directly. That network effect is still too strong for it to fail.
