Twitter will be Against the Independent Journalists
Independent Journalist Tim Pool has raised concerns over Twitter’s new media policy that rolled out around the same time Parag Agrawal was made CEO. This new policy will affect the way that the company handles the sharing of videos that may reveal personal information and people’s public image.
Twitter’s new rule banning media would mean that the videos from Kenosha involving kyle rittenhouse would be banned

Viral videos have proved to be a powerful tool in the court of law and the game of politics. If it weren’t for the video of the Kyle Rittenhouse Self-Defense shooting, the media could have manipulated the public perception on the matter more so then they already did.
Many fear that this new policy will be used by the platform to defend the interests of corporations and politicians.
