Re:Twitter to ban political advertising by gnicholas on Wednesday October 30, 2019 @06:06PM (#21403360)
Oh I realize that they wouldn't ban my ad. I'm saying that the heuristic you suggested isn't quite nuanced enough. It seems like this move will create lots of controversy and actually make political advertising on twitter more fraught (because it will still happen, but just not above-board). This may end up being a net negative for society if it pushes things into the seedier underbelly (gaming twitter's algorithms so your tweet pops up in the ICYMI section, buying followers in order to appear more influential, etc.).
