Seems like they are combing profile key words and punting users the last 24 hours. Harmless phrases, acronyms from words Kennedy said. Nothing hateful or inciting but does label them as identifying with a certain spirit or community.
I don't understand something: wouldn't that be extremely bad for twitter? i mean they need subscribers for pushing their advertising, or so i was told.
Not if they are a cost center for the propaganda machine. In Soviet Union no one cared how much Pravda earned from the subscriptions, since it was not their purpose.
I think they are fighting for survival, they might be taking this court action that was pushed by some ten republican states very seriously - this case has a strong legal basis. I suspect that its all business.
