Twitter just changed its policies to prevent distribution of dox materials, hacked content, and fake accounts (among others):

This appears to be for US elections, but if they implement this generically, this might also help block some of the common targeted harassment scenarios.

@Zordrak Given birdsite has doubled down on using disinfo to push ads, I’ll be surprised if they _don’t_ implement this in a way that’s harmful.
But much of that is my cynicism talking, and they do still need to retain users to be profitable. Because of that, I think it makes sense to observe what they actually do with this to gauge if they’re feeling pressure from people leaving the site, or if this is feigned compliance.
