He’s since orchestrated a dizzying array of changes, the most high profile being his November plan to strip notable users of their blue verification check marks unless they pay for Twitter’s premium service.
“Now I can’t tell who’s paid for it and who’s real,” Aikins said, noting Musk is even allowing anonymous accounts to be verified so long as they pay and provide a confirmed phone number. In the wake of these moves, Aikins is seeing public organizations tweet less and suspects it’s because of how easy it’s become to target brands with misinformation that could tarnish their image.Article contentThe developments have also diminished Twitter’s reach.
Twitter posted Monday that it will strive for “freedom of speech, not reach” and is against censorship and shadowbanning, when tweets are less visible or hidden, often because its poster violated policies. Back then, she’d scroll Twitter upon waking because it was “a better relayer of what was happening than my local news or social media like Facebook and Instagram.”“Sometimes things were trending that were not in line with my opinions but I read through those threads as well and broadened my horizons.”Article content
