Twitter- The Musk era

[RedTide]

Can anyone point me to an article explaining how Twitter used to enforce its rules?

I'm guessing that some of the enforcement is done with software scanning for words or phrases, and some tweets need a human to interpret the context, and in some cases the tweets need to be escalated to a committee.

My understanding is that non English speaking countries (e.g: Japan, India, Brazil) account for more active users than American users. And I saw that India had it's own rules, and Twitter had a single person acting to enforce those rules (for about 25 million users I think): https://www.theverge.com/2021/8/11/2...-nodal-officer

Welcome to PC RT.

I heard on NPR or was it BBC that twitter had people who would monitor content. Watch videos pictures messages. Most have been let go now. As to rules I'm sure what works for Europe USA and China ect..... are vastly different.

Ya I would guess that some stuff like looking for pictures of beheadings could be done in software, but misinformation tweets would need to be interpreted by a human. Since there are 60 million users that could be writing in Kanji, I wonder what the process used to be. I don't use Twitter - so maybe Twitter has some sort of "this tweet offends me" reporting system.

From reading that AK "Musk/Neurolink" thread I'm surprised that some people still think that the Hunter Biden laptop is a big deal. It didn't have classified documents on it, but Trump's storage unit did, even after he said it didn't "to the best of his knowledge".

IMO, it was mostly a manufactured story that follows a familiar Trumpian pattern. Create a story (e.g., Obama's birth certificate) and rely on the wingnut angertainment complex (NYPost in this case) to amplify it without verifying anything about it. The same clowns responsible for the laptop story (Guiliani and Derkach) tried it a year earlier in Ukraine and got Trump impeached for it.

No one has bought into the Hunter Laptop story, so thanks to Musk they found that Twitter squelched the story and now this has become bigger than the original fiction itself. So why is Giuliani, the author of this fiction staying so quiet?

There could very well be a positive side to consider. With the attention EM is getting helping to spotlight the need for government oversight into this world of ether information.

Should a few rich, powerful have so much control over such a large service? His adolescent tantrums may well bring down his empire.

Given the composition and decision-making of the Tesla and Twitter boards, I'm pretty sure the conference rooms are equipped with trap doors into a shark tank.
