twitter made some important policy changes

I think the same content more than once to a single account rule is interesting because huge brands/news sites post the same content over and over again (politico, NY Times, Barstool Sports) etc we'll have to see if they enforce this on that level or just crush small accounts.

I work for a mid-tier News/Blog site and we've talked about the new rules internally but are still going to go forward regularly until Twitter stops us. Also worth noting that Twitter is about 1/3rd of our traffic and not being able to recycle content on one account would kill us and several other legit pubs/ news sites.

It's clear that Twitter had a problem w/ spam but it seems like they're over-correcting and may actually kill themselves in the long run.

Here’s what you need to know:
Posting Duplicate Content to Multiple Twitter Accounts is no longer allowed


Posting the same content more than once to a single Twitter account is not allowed

If you are like many major brands, and recycle the same tweet more than once on a single Twitter account - you’re now in danger of suspension or termination from Twitter.

From what I'm reading - read more this morning, it definitely seems to be much more about using numerous bots, as opposed to tweeting the same thing on a single account. Although, as far as I'm aware, this has always been a rule, so was always important not to rive it and take the piss.

Here i founded article about it https://www.theverge.com/2018/2/21/...nges-ban-bulk-tweeting-bot-crackdown-election
It is all about russians again

Twitter says these actions are “an important step in ensuring we stay ahead of malicious activity targeting the crucial conversations taking place on Twitter — including elections in the United States and around the world.” It alluded to the plan last month, when it revealed that over 50,000 accounts were linked to Russian propaganda efforts.
Here what Buzzfeed said:
The new rules come after revelations that over 50,000 accounts linked to Russian-backed organizations exposed nearly 700,000 people to propaganda over the course of the 2016 US Presidential Election in January!
So it is about russians
