“@stillgray At the end of the day, if Twitter is indeed the most accurate source of information, more people will use it”
The tweet archive.
15 years of Elon, fully searchable. The production archive uses Supabase as the source of truth, with 94,952 indexed tweets available in development as a full-archive fallback and a curated annotation layer for context, theory, and how major claims aged.
“@jack As judged by the people of Twitter via Community Notes (formerly Birdwatch)”
“Twitter needs to become by far the most accurate source of information about the world. That’s our mission.”
“@alex_avoigt Twitter user numbers have increased significantly around the world since the deal was announced. And these are very early days. As Twitter becomes by far the most reliable source of truth, it will be indispensable.”
“Previously, we issued a warning before suspension, but now that we are rolling out widespread verification, there will be no warning. This will be clearly identified as a condition for signing up to Twitter Blue.”
“Going forward, any Twitter handles engaging in impersonation without clearly specifying “parody” will be permanently suspended”
“Search within Twitter reminds me of Infoseek in ‘98! That will also get a lot better pronto.”
“@BillyM2k @nikitabier We definitely need to incent people to do a lot more interactions on Twitter!”
“@Erdayastronaut We can do 42 min chunks at 1080 resolution now for new Blue, so you could break up a longer video. The 42 min limit should be fixed next month. How does YouTube monetization work & what could Twitter do better?”
“Twitter will soon add ability to attach long-form text to tweets, ending absurdity of notepad screenshots”
“@raaahulpandey Great question. Twitter will suspend the account attempting impersonation and keep the money! So if scammers want to do this a million times, that’s just a whole bunch of free money. https://t.co/QUrxqb59I0”
“@kcoleman @AlexMahadevan Birdwatch (soon to be renamed Community Notes) has incredible potential for improving information accuracy on Twitter!”
“Regarding Twitter’s reduction in force, unfortunately there is no choice when the company is losing over $4M/day. Everyone exited was offered 3 months of severance, which is 50% more than legally required.”
“@TomFitton @Twitter @yoyoel @JudicialWatch Twitter will not censor accurate information about anything”
“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.”
“Excellent summary of Twitter’s Trust & Safety from the head of the team”
“@hankgreen And therefore Twitter should die?”
“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.”
“Because it consists of billions of bidirectional interactions per day, Twitter can be thought of as a collective, cybernetic super-intelligence”
“@AliZafarsays @MrBeast True, Twitter has amazing content in Japan – roughly half of all adults online – but it’s almost never seen outside of Japan”
“Twitter is simply the most interesting place on the Internet. That’s why you’re reading this tweet right now.”
“@Rubiu5 If verified accounts violate terms of service, eg spam/scam/impersonation, they’ll be suspended, but Twitter will keep their money! We will definitely add cool stuff like what you’re suggesting to Twitter Blue.”
“@bennyjohnson Absolutely agreed that the Twitter safety board should have people from all viewpoints”
“@micsolana The community notes feature is awesome. Our goal is to make Twitter the most accurate source of information on Earth, without regard to political affiliation.”
“@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”
“@yoyoel @JGreenblattADL @YaelEisenstat @rashadrobinson @JGo4Justice @normanlschen @DerrickNAACP @TheBushCenter @SindyBenavides Twitter will not allow anyone who was de-platformed for violating Twitter rules back on platform until we have a clear process for doing so, which will take at least a few more weeks”
“@yoyoel Talked to civil society leaders @JGreenblattADL, @YaelEisenstat, @rashadrobinson, @JGo4Justice, @normanlschen, @DerrickNAACP, @TheBushCenter Ken Hersch & @SindyBenavides about how Twitter will continue to combat hate & harassment & enforce its election integrity policies”
“Twitter speaks to the inner masochist in all of us”
“@TomFitton @Twitter @yoyoel It’s the user’s own setting that did this”
“@saylor Yes, this will destroy the bots. If a paid Blue account engages in spam/scam, that account will be suspended. Essentially, this raises the cost of crime on Twitter by several orders of magnitude.”
“This will also give Twitter a revenue stream to reward content creators”
“Twitter’s current lords & peasants system for who has or doesn’t have a blue checkmark is bullshit. Power to the people! Blue for $8/month.”
“@StephenKing We need to pay the bills somehow! Twitter cannot rely entirely on advertisers. How about $8?”
“@yoyoel I recommend following @yoyoel for the most accurate understanding of what’s happening with trust & safety at Twitter”
“@erichjrusch @Twitter @Jason @DavidSacks Definitely”
“@RNRakowitz @wfamarketers @SEP @GerryDAngelo @philsmithisba @Diageo_News @bjankow @kieley_taylor @barone9323 @ajb_sf @meghaley6 Twitter’s commitment to brand safety is unchanged”
“If I had a dollar for every time someone asked me if Trump is coming back on this platform, Twitter would be minting money!”
“@teslaownersSV @slashdot @Jason @Twitter 💯”
“Wachtell & Twitter board deliberately hid this evidence from the court. Stay tuned, more to come … https://t.co/CifaNvtRtt”
“Just received this email from Twitter. This is an actual, real email that was autogenerated 🤣🤣 https://t.co/7DQp4sNINX”
“@TomFitton @Twitter @JustTheNews I will look into this. Twitter should be even-handed, favoring neither side.”
“@amasad Good point. Being able to select which version of Twitter you want is probably better, much as it would be for a movie maturity rating. The rating of the tweet itself could be self-selected, then modified by user feedback.”
“To be super clear, we have not yet made any changes to Twitter’s content moderation policies”
“@MikhailaFuller @jordanbpeterson Anyone suspended for minor & dubious reasons will be freed from Twitter jail”
“Comedy is now legal on Twitter”
“@RpsAgainstTrump Ye’s account was restored by Twitter before the acquisition. They did not consult with or inform me.”
“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.”
“@Gfilche @Twitter 🤣”
“Dear Twitter Advertisers https://t.co/GMwHmInPAS”
“Meeting a lot of cool people at Twitter today!”
