Twitter now shows if a tweet was deleted for policy violations

Twitter recently announced it’s rolling out a feature to provide context around deleted tweets – including who deleted them and why. It’s a small change, but it’s the latest in a series of moves Twitter is making in an effort to bolster transpare

It’s absurd that they choose which tweets are deleted and which remain given their extremely obvious bias. They essentially censor anything they disagree with, but then act like what they are really doing is providing “transparency.” Hiw fantastic of them. They won’t delete tweets of bigots like Louis Farrakhan, but when they finally delete one, they let you know. This is yet another reason why I like Moptu. It’s small and there is none of that type of Orwellian nonsense.

Twitter Is Pushing More News Links In The Home Timeline

A Twitter spokesperson confirmed the new Twitter feature to BuzzFeed News. Twitter's aggressive move into news continues.

This further provides proof of concept for Moptu. Are we as deluxe as Twitter/Facebook/Instagram? No. But we ARE the only social platform designed specifically to share links to news (in the broadest definition including the traditional one). We are also the only social network, with our numbers, designed and run by just two people. If you're an investor, contact me so that we can work to fulfill Moptu's potential! joshn@moptu.com

Mark Zuckerberg Says Facebook to Become 'More Meaningful' | Fortune

Facebook is changing the way it filters posts and videos on its centerpiece News Feed, amid a series of planned changes.

I'm the co-founder of Moptu and I applaud this move. However, the solution to creating a more meaningful social media experience sn't by getting rid of the focus on likes and discussion (How is removing the social elements of social media beneficial?).

The solution is twofold. Get rid of algorithms and let people only see what they CHOOSE to see. AND give people the ability to see everything, in the order it was posted, site-wide, by Topic, to counter the "echo chamber' effect. That's what we do. If you're an investor: write me. joshn@moptu.com.

Facebook is making a major change to the News Feed that will show you more content from friends and family and less from

Facebook said Thursday that it will start to show users more posts from their friends and family in the News Feed, a move that means people will see fewer posts from publishers and brands.

We've been saying since we began Moptu that people want more, including articles, from their friends and family. That's why we created the only social platform specifically designed to share, organize, and discuss articles about ANYTHING you care about. We're looking for investors.
