  This team was crucial in managing and maintaining the

  platform's Integrity. Combating the spread of hate
• 2:27
  speech harassment and misinformation.
• 2:29
  Action must, however, has deflected blame for Twitter's
• 2:33
  problems onto others. Especially mainstream media
• 2:36

  Yeah, chorinho and musk shared the stage for an engaging

  into the internal dynamics of the evolving Twitter ecosystem
• 2:57
  under musk and the potential strategy is of it.
• 3:00
  New CEO now the onstage interaction well cordial was not
• 3:05
  without its share of disagreements.
• 3:07
  Yeah, querido on multiple instances, shifted the
• 3:11
  conversation towards the pressing issue of content
• 3:14
  moderation. She also questioned the apparent
• 3:17
  rise in hate speech and extremism on Twitter.
• 3:20
  Under musk's leadership, the new CEO, definitely framed her
• 3:24
  concerns in terms of how they can impact the platform's
• 3:27
  ability to attract advertisers And during this discourse yeah
• 3:32
  kirino asked must if he would consider allowing advertisers to
• 3:36
  influence. His vision for Twitter arguing
• 3:39
  that it would make them more eager to invest.
• 3:42
  She highlighted areas like product development and safety,
• 3:47
  for ads, and content, moderation, as potential spheres
• 3:50
  of Advertiser influence. Now, Moscow ever firmly refused.
• 3:55
  He reiterated his commitment to features like, freedom of Of
• 4:00
  speech. And stated that while
• 4:01
  advertisers could choose where their ads appear on the
• 4:04
  platform, they should not dictate the course of Twitter's
• 4:07
  operations. Now, in his words, this is what
• 4:11
  he said. If that means losing advertising
• 4:13
  dollars, we lose it. But freedom of speech is
• 4:16
  Paramount now. Yeah, chorinho visited the
• 4:19
  contentious topic of Advertiser influence when she asked musk
• 4:23
  about the prospect of reinstating Twitter's quote
• 4:26
  influence Council. This Council was a regular
• 4:30
  assembly of Marketing Executives.
• 4:31
  From Twitter major advertisers, an Avenue for feedback and
• 4:35
  collaboration must however, was skeptical about its Revival musk
• 4:39
  Express concerns about potential public backlash of people,
• 4:43
  perceive their views, were being manipulated by a handful of
• 4:46
  Marketing Executives. He recognized the importance of
• 4:49
  feedback, but suggested a sensible middle ground that
• 4:53
  would balance the voice of the public with the needs of
• 4:56
  advertisers striving to It's sales and their brand image.
• 5:00
  Now, the conversation took a very interesting turn when musk
• 5:03
  introduced a novel solution to Twitter's ongoing issues with
• 5:07
  objectable tweets. Now, dubbed, freedom of speech,
• 5:12
  but not freedom of Reach This policy, aims to control the
• 5:16
  visibility of hate speech and similar problems.
• 5:19
  Without removing the offended tweets out, right?
• 5:22
  Yeah, chorinho didn't miss a beat.
• 5:24
  You should challenge must by asking whether this policy would
• 5:27
  apply to his own. To musk is known for his
• 5:30
  proclivity to tweet at odd hours, occasionally, sparking
• 5:33
  controversy with is Murr misinformation and offensive
• 5:36
  content. And he said, yes it does.
• 5:40
  He further explained that his tweets can be adorned with
• 5:43
  Community notes, that offer additional context must also
• 5:47
  dispelled any Notions of preferential treatment asserting
• 5:50
  that his tweets receive no special boosts from Twitter in a
• 5:54
  playful yet pointed query. Yeah, chorinho asked must have
• 5:57
  he could commit To refraining from tweeting at 3.
• 5:59
  A.m. a timeframe notorious for some of his most contentious
• 6:02
  tweets musk. Displaying his characteristic
• 6:05
  humor responded quote, I will aspire to tweet less after 3
• 6:10
  a.m. now in the wake of these Revelations.
• 6:13
  One thing's clear Linda? Yeah.
• 6:15
  Kirino the season advertising executive as a daunting task
• 6:19
  ahead of her. She must now navigate the
• 6:21
  complex ecosystem, Twitter, attempting to reconcile.
• 6:24
  The platform is financial suitability with musk's Brigid
• 6:28
  commitment to unfiltered speech. Her challenge will be to
• 6:32
  rekindle relationships with advertisers while assuming that
• 6:36
  these concerns about content in moderation and brand, safety or
• 6:40
  taken into consideration. Now, Elon Musk, on the other
• 6:44
  hand, must balance his vision for the platform with pragmatic
• 6:49
  realities of running, a global social media Network, his
• 6:53
  commitment to freedom of speech is in my herbal.
• 6:55
  But there's a fine line between unrestricted.
• 6:57
  A dialogue and a platform Rife with hate speech and
• 7:01
  misinformation the freedom of speech, but not freedom of reach
• 7:05
  policy appears to be a step in the right direction.
• 7:09
  Now, as yeah, kirino takes over this new era with Elon Musk and
• 7:16
  yeah, Karina will this be a radical Vision or would it be
• 7:19
  more traditional will be a safer Norm for social media operation
• 7:23
  in the future or will Twitter continue to be a battlefield for
• 7:27
  debate? And freedom of speech content,
• 7:30
  moderation, and the influence of advertising dollars.
• 7:33
  We're just going to have to wait and see when yeah, kirino takes
• 7:36
  the helm in a few weeks. Thank you so much for listening
