“Twitter has had a massive drop in revenue, due to activist groups pressuring advertisers, even though nothing has changed with content moderation and we did everything we could to appease the activists. Extremely messed up! They’re trying to destroy free speech in America.”

“Twitter will be forming a content moderation council with widely diverse viewpoints. No major content decisions or account reinstatements will happen before that council convenes.”
“Again, to be crystal clear, Twitter’s strong commitment to content moderation remains absolutely unchanged. In fact, we have actually seen hateful speech at times this week decline *below* our prior norms, contrary to what you may read in the press.”
“To be super clear, we have not yet made any changes to Twitter’s content moderation policies”
“Restore Britain would allow free public speech without imprisonment [@RestoreBritain_] Platforms hosting lawful content must be shielded from government pressure to censor.

“💯 [@shellenberger] You say it's not about censorship ("content moderation") but it is. You want to censor who gets verified. And you want X to give government-picked "researchers" special access to data so they can demand censorship. The Twitter Files revealed your censorship-by-proxy scam.”
“@yoyoel @JGreenblattADL @YaelEisenstat @rashadrobinson @JGo4Justice @normanlschen @DerrickNAACP @TheBushCenter @SindyBenavides Twitter's content moderation council will include representatives with widely divergent views, which will certainly include the civil rights community and groups who face hate-fueled violence”

“Posting long form text, audio & video content on 𝕏 will dramatically increase your reach! Over half a billion active users are on this platform and they are the smartest and most influential audience on Earth.”
“To be clear, there is no explicit rule limiting the reach of links in posts. The algorithm tries (not always successfully) to maximize user-seconds on 𝕏, so a link that causes people to cut short their time here will naturally get less exposure. Best to post a [@cb_doge] Avoid posting links to external sites, as they limit your potential reach. Instead, prefer to upload your content directly to this platform.

“@Anc_Aesthetics Sorry about this. Yes, subscribe now via web or wait a few days for Apple to approve. Note: creator gets ~92% of subscription for web subscribers (Stripe & CC fees are ~8%), but only 70% on iOS/Android. Twitter keeps nothing. All funds we receive go to the content creator.”
