Elon Musk is holding an impromptu all hands meeting with Twitter engineers. Nothing super exciting on the product side. So far he's talked a lot about free speech and how Twitter should be a digital town square within the realm of law.

At Apple, some orgs are saying failure to comply could result in termination, but that doesn't appear to be a company-wide policy.

Little scoop from me today: Twitter has been down-ranking the corporate accounts of its competitors, including 19 official TikTok accounts, 3 Snap accounts, and 2 Instagram accounts. This means their tweets won’t show on the For You tab for the most part: platformer.news/p/tiktok-nea…

Inexplicably, @HHSGov is also on the down rank (shadow ban?) list.

MSFT lays off its responsible AI team The thing that strikes me most about this story from @ZoeSchiffer and @CaseyNewton is the way in which the MSFT execs describe the urgency to move "AI models into the hands of customers" platformer.news/p/microsoft-… >>

Last year, Microsoft’s corporate VP of AI reorged the team, saying “the pressure from [CTO] Kevin [Scott] and [CEO] Satya [Nadella] is very very high to take these most recent openAI models and the ones that come after them and move them into customers hands at a very high speed”

This has happened to us too. In the Community Notes forum, Elon Musk fans have tried to discredit our Twitter reporting by saying, among other things, that I interned for Nancy Pelosi when I was in college.
1. Anonymous Twitter users have weaponized @CommunityNotes and are using the feature to try to discredit COMPLETELY ACCURATE INFORMATION The people writing these "Community Notes" are remarkably uninformed about the topics they weigh in on It happened to me yesterday 🧵

NEW: Twitter is rolling out its “freedom of speech but not freedom of reach” policy later this month, according to a Trust & Safety all hands meeting yesterday. 1/
New Twitter policy is freedom of speech, but not freedom of reach. Negative/hate tweets will be max deboosted & demonetized, so no ads or other revenue to Twitter. You won’t find the tweet unless you specifically seek it out, which is no different from rest of Internet.

One of the founders that Twitter cut two weeks ago still isn't sure if they have a job:
Dear @elonmusk 👋 9 days ago the access to my work computer was cut, along with about 200 other Twitter employees. However your head of HR is not able to confirm if I am an employee or not. You've not answered my emails. Maybe if enough people retweet you'll answer me here?
