  New development on the other site.  They might have stopped identifying paid content as advertising.  If true, this could have some consequences.

  Exactly.  What happens on Twitter should stay on Twitter.  We're not here for news of the dark kingdom.  Enough.

  Twitter has been getting away for a decade already with labeling ads below the actual content.  No other social network does so.  I find it deceptive.

  The stench of desperation... If this is true, I'm sure FTC isn't far behind.

  Who was looking for screenshots of ads in the timeline not being labeled as ads in an open and shut FTC violation? [image]

  We've reached the point where Blue Check posts that are not labeled as ads *for accounts I do not follow* are showing up in my “Following” tab. [image]

  So now we're getting ads in the Twitter timeline that aren't even labeled as “Ad.” I am not following the Jaguars. [image]

  Watch for unusual posts, people. They might actually be ads, per reporting from @sarahintampa at @TechCrunch

  If I don't follow the account and it's in my feed, I consider it to be an ad.
