So they should become a subscription-based press release distribution channel? That doesn't sound too different from the "verified" account practice at current Twitter, just more expensive.
- shiroiushi 2y agoNon-verified accounts on Twitter can still post, respond to posts, etc. I'm proposing that they don't allow this, and in fact simply disable replies altogether. It should just be a one-way announcement service.
- johneth 2y agoThat's called a newsletter.
- shiroiushi 2y agoExactly! That's all anyone really needs here. Official government accounts don't need comments from the peanut gallery (random people, who might not even be constituents) every time they make an official announcement.
