Twitter's updated T&Cs look clearer -- yet it still can't say no to Nazis

Twitter has taken a pair of shears to its user rules, shaving almost 2,000 words off of its T&Cs -- with the stated aim of making it clearer for users what is not acceptable behaviour on its platform. It says the rules have shrunk from 2,500 words to just 600 -- with each of the reworded rules now encapsulated within a pithy tweet length (280 characters or less). "Everyone who uses Twitter should be able to easily understand what is and is not allowed on the service," writes Twitter's Del Harvey, VP of trust and safety, in a blog post announcing the changes.
