So Twitter doesn't censor enough, dunno how much more time or money Twitter could have spent trying to control the narrative. So the lesson here is that it's never enough. If you had Twitter completely sanitized there'd be people who don't understand 'changing the channel' complaining about too many meat-eaters on the platform.

censorship basically allowed for trolls, memelords, bots, eggs and shitposters to thrive because of how they censored wrong-thinkers willing to have a rational discussion. only those who have nothing to lose are left in the conversation.

The article argues that it wasn't so much censorship as poorly-implemented censorship.

For example:

> Internally, Costolo complained that the “abuse economics” were “backward.” It took just seconds to create an account to harass someone, but reporting that abuse required filling out a time-consuming form.

And of course the larger story of a vigilante censor being blocked. Twitter doesn't want outside forces policing it, but that means it has to police itself, which it has failed to do at critical moments.
