It sounds like a potentially smart move - if they can define "Political advertising" for banning purposes in a discrete, objective, non-partisan way. Which based on what we have seen from those people, does not seem very likely at all. The people who run and operate that company just do not appear to think like that.
I just heard an announcer on TV news say that the people running twitter had decided to forbid all "political advertising" on Twitter.
Anybody else hear that?
What, exactly, is "Political advertising" as far as Twitter is concerned?
If I tweet to my friends that I like this politician but don't like that one, is that "political advertising"?
If somebody gives me money to say that on twitter, is THAT "political advertising"?
Did I hear this wrong and there's no such ban coming? Quite possible.
As in political groups can't buy ad space on twitter. Nothing about content posted by users. If a political content message spreads by earning it(liked/retweeted by users), that's still fair game.
It appears this new practice will deal solely with actual political ads, not discussion of political topics. Fine with me, considering the recent history and lack of quality and veracity of many online political ads.
So for those who Tweet, feel free to Tweet away about your views. Just don't try to place a political ad on Twitter.

I think this is in response to Mark Zuckerberg's decision to allow fake or deceptive political ads to air on Facebook unabated. Good for Twitter.

In other words, ads that you disagree with. Fake and deceptive being a function of the Democrat left's cultural Marxism and their preferred application of "Political correctness".
Gotcha.
