Amid vocal calls for the company to act, Twitter today offered its first explanation for why it hasnt banned President Donald Trump without ever saying the mans name. Elected world leaders play a critical role in that conversation because of their outsized impact on our society, the company said in a blog post. Blocking a world leader from Twitter or removing their controversial Tweets, would hide important information people should be able to see and debate. It would also not silence that leader, but it would certainly hamper necessary discussion around their words and actions. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Twitter neglected to explicitly state "this shit is printing money" which is known among experts to be the main, secret reason Does Twitter actually make money?

pinky0926 posted...Twitter neglected to explicitly state "this shit is printing money" which is known among experts to be the main, secret reason Yep, through advertising in a not dissimilar way to facebook. As far as I'm aware it's yet to post a profit though. Regardless of that every time Trump has a tanty the entire world flocks to twitter to see what he had to say. You couldn't pay for that kind of profile. --- CE's Resident Scotsman. http://i.imgur.com/ILz2ZbV.jpg ... Copied to Clipboard!

Twitter seems to forget that people can have meaningful discussions outside of Twitter. Like I said before, Twitter is not a good platform to have indepth discussions when it encourages juvenile short posts.
