Too little too late, Twitter.

Rules changes may be in motion but MAYBE we tell the FCC to slow roll things if you behave.

It would be no such thing.

Simply reclassifying them as publishers instead of platforms, which would be more accurate and allow them to be on the same playing field as other publishers.
