> Seeing how blatantly detectable a lot of shitcoin spam on the platform is

I'm a nocoin/nevercoin blockchain skeptic who hates shitcoin spam too, but I wonder: does people posting tweets about "shitcoins" violate Twitter's usage policy, or just offend your sensibilities? I could see how posting the same thing twenty times might violate a policy, though not sure if it violates Twitter's. I only post about infosec and politics on Twitter and some users might not like that either!

You seem to be mixing different things.

They do have an anti spam policy.

I was talking specifically about spam. Non-spam is another matter.

And who decides what is and is not spam, you might ask? Well Twitter of course; they just aren’t very good at detecting even blatant examples of it proactively enough to prevent it from detracting from the user experience.
