This is burying the lede. I see only one concrete policy change:
>Building on our commitment to free expression, we are also going to allow political advertising.
The rest is generic discussion of their Very Important Values.
- nailer 3y agoHrm I read it for 15 seconds seconds and already noticed a second, the refocus on combating manipulation. Maybe re-read it?
- adionionio 3y agoYou mean this? >We’re currently expanding our safety and elections teams to focus on combating manipulation, surfacing inauthentic accounts and closely monitoring the platform for emerging threats. Not even a year ago they fired the majority of staff and disbanded entire teams. Whatever expansion there is now is dwarfed by those massive cuts. Twitter's policy has been, and continues to be, to keep moderation to a skeleton crew as a cost-cutting measure.
- nailer 3y agoYes that’s what I mean. The previous team famously focused on ideological purity over trust, safety and authenticity and absolutely needed to be replaced.
