Does Twitter internally define what is 'problematic' content and not place ads next to it? If it does, that raises a whole bunch of new questions. If not, then how often this happens is going to be a function of how common 'problematic' content is. In other words, if I'm an advertiser and I'm not seeing adequate moderation happening and an ever-increasing volume of shit-to-signal ratio, I'm going to jump ship.
- Arnt 3y agoYou may reasonably asssume that Twitter does and does not. Twitter will try to group users into audiences, probably in ways no human really understands even if some humans know enough to read the log files and databases. Do you read Czech tweets? You probably understand that language, then, so you're added to the appropriate bucket of users. Do you retweet things later that go viral? Do you retweet things that are later deleted by moderators? Another company that did something very like this for recommendation purposes ended up with considerably more than 1000 audiences, and the nazis were concentrated into fewer than 100 of those, even though separating nazis from the rest wasn't a goal. Not perfectly concentrated.
