    Twitter (NYSE: TWTR) Announces Changes In Hacking Policy In Response To NY Post Controversary

    Twitter, Inc. (NYSE: TWTR) announced that it has decided to modify its hacking policy in response to the New York Post controversary. Twitter has earlier temporarily suspended the official Trump Campaign Twitter account after it shared a link to a New York Post about Hunter Biden and former Vice President Joe Biden’s connection to Ukraine. Twitter has restricted the account and said that the link it shared has violated its rules.

    Twitter has experienced criticism after blocking the New York Post article upon which Twitter has revealed that the main reason they have blocked the article not because of article content but because of the image in the article. Internet content and Information company have further explained that the articles contained images of personal email addresses, which is a violation of its hacked material policy.

    After facing the huge criticism, Twitter’s s global lead for legal, policy, and trust and safety, Vijaya Gadde, announced that the tweet sharing platform has received many feedbacks from critics and supporters regarding the implementation of the Hacked policy on the New York Post article. She revealed that Twitter has decided to make changes in the policy and also revealed the new ways to implement the policy.

    Vijaya then explained the reason to make these new changes because Twitter wanted to address the concerns as these incidents are contrary to Twitter’s purpose of serving the public conversation. Twitter has announced two major changes.

    The first one is that it will no longer block hacked content unless it is directly shared by hackers or those acting in concert with them. The second change is that it will label Tweets to provide context instead of blocking links from being shared on Twitter.

    Twitter Inc (NYSE: TWTR) Roll Out New Update For Trending Section

    Twitter Inc. (NYSE: TWTR) continuously taking steps to make Twitter accessible to everyone. The trend section on Twitter showed what is happening in the world and what people are talking about right now. But the trend section was a bit confusing as too often we saw a word or phrase trending on Twitter and many people starting question why this is trending? That question was tweeted many times on Twitter.

    So, Twitter is striving to make the trending section less confusing. Twitter has disclosed last week that it has planned to add more data to the trends section. Twitter has decided to add pinned tweets & explanations on trends to explain why something is trending. This step makes it easier for the user to know what is happening in the world and why the word or a phrase is trending.

    Today, Twitter has disclosed that it has decided to add improved headlines and a short explanation to some Trends, so the users will be able to know why something’s trending when the user is in the Explore tab. If we look at the example of this new update, sometimes we saw the name of a singer is trending on Twitter but we don’t know what happened. To know about the news users scrolled down the tweets and got a vague idea of what is actually happening.

    But after this update, if we look at today’s trends ‘Nobel Peace Prize’ is trending no.1 right now. TWTR now describes by the way of headline and short summary that the ‘Nobel Peace Prize’ is trending because Norwegian parliamentarian has nominated Donald Trump for the 2021 Nobel Peace Prize. That’s helpful and prevents users from scrolling down the tweets to now the information about the word which is trending.

    Shares of Twitter Inc. (NYSE: TWTR) traded down 4.21% after it lost -1.68 during the trading session of Tuesday. It has a closing price of $38.19. In the past 52-weeks of trading, the stock of Twitter has fluctuated between the low of $20.00 and a high of $45.85. It has traded up 90.95% from its 52-weeks low and traded down -16.72% from its 52-weeks high. Looking at its liquidity, it has a current ratio of 10.10. The market capitalization of Twitter has remained high, hitting $31.54 billion at the time of writing.

    But unfortunately, after releasing the update for the Trends section Twitter is still lacking in its ability to fully explain all of its trends. There are various trends that are still without any explanation. If we look at the trending section there are many trends such as ‘Kuzma’ Clackamas’ and ‘Rey Nobody’ are trending without any description. Similarly, the trends which are led with a hashtag are also without description.

    But Twitter has earlier disclosed that its curation team is working on the new update. It has also stated that the company knows there is more work to do to enhance trends and the context updates they announced. This new update is just a small step in the right direction.
