    It’s a weird decision to further monetize access to a platform that’s hemorrhaging users and engagement.

        Yup. It was bought as a tool to disrupt the next election. In that respect, it’s a hell of a good buy.

    This would have sounding effects on researchers, like mis- and dis-information, as most are still spread there, where they use API to aggregate and analyze tweets (or whatever it is called now).

    Gotta launder that Russian money somehow. Now they can pay him more without having to make as many accounts.
