Versus the push that we should draw the conclusion that it's a nothing burger? It definitely highlights that Twitter is happy to categorize and treat Ukrainian content differently which is insightful to know.

> Versus the push that we should draw the conclusion that it's a nothing burger? What push? Conclude what you want, preferably based off available evidence. > It definitely highlights that Twitter is happy to categorize and treat Ukrainian content differently which is insightful to know. Not really. That particular analysis AFAICT, highlights the term UkraineCrisisTopic occurs in the twitter algo code base somewhere.

It's not trying to detect all Ukrainian content, it's in a section of the codebase related to manual flag penalties, so it's probably just one category of public misinformation warnings that twitter can apply to accounts promoting misleading or propagandistic information. see e.g. https://www.reuters.com/technology/twitter-tackle-ukraine-conflict-misinformation-with-warning-labels-2022-05-19/ https://www.reuters.com/technology/twitter-tackle-ukraine-co...

Why is it one or the other? I'd argue we shouldn't conclude anything until we know for something a fact.
