Reading the Twitter 2.0 blog post again, I don’t think it says enough to actually be a vision for the company. Some bits sound okay (“freedom of speech, but not freedom of reach”) and some seem actively misleading (“none of our policies have changed”, just our enforcement).

@manton Sounds like a thing they put out just to pacify people who aren’t paying attention to the blow-by-blow coverage 😤

@jkohlmann Probably so. I think it was a missed opportunity to actually outline a plan (for employees and users). No surprise, though.

@manton I stopped reading at "Twitter’s mission..." 😬

@manton “freedom of speech, but not freedom of reach” is an endorsement of shadowbanning, which the right wrongly accused Twitter of doing for years, and now Musk seems to be saying OK we're going to do that.

@manton This blog post rings hollow.

@MitchW Also if a user has 119m or 87.7m followers what can stop reach? Retweets spread information like wildfire without algorithm boosts. Seems like suspend/ban is the only way to stop it.

@manton from what I’ve read the trust team in Asia Pacific (includes Australia) has been gutted with one person left so not sure how things are normal

@manton -- it's complete 💩 -- written by a PR hack, and it's top to bottom lies.

@manton They also seem to have invented a new word: “violative”.
