"The attack and Dorsey’s transparency pledge come after years of complaints from users that Twitter doesn’t do enough to curb harassment and misinformation on the platform, even as the company has rolled out new features such as letting users limit who can reply to tweets and, for the first time, flagging some of President Trump’s tweets for violating its terms of service. Major brands have pulled ads from social media, including Twitter and Facebook, in recent months, citing the polarized political environment."

"Today, Twitter’s API is separated into three platforms: Standard (free), Premium (self-serve paid) and Enterprise. But this has made it difficult for developers to migrate from one tier to another. The new API will eventually — and fully — replace all three, and will instead serve all users across three different product tracks, designed to accommodate different groups of developers. These tracks include the Standard track, which is launching today, while the Business and Academic/Research tracks will arrive soon. Within each track there will also be Basic, Elevated or Custom access levels available.
“We definitely know that one size does not fit all, and we wanted to make it easier for more developers to be successful building with us,” explains Twitter Developer Platform product head, Ian Cairns. One of those tracks will always be free, he added. “Twitter exists to serve the public conversation, and keeping a free, open API is really important to us,” he said.
