With the Watch, Apple built a fashionable iPhone for your wrist but it found product market fit as a better Fitbit.

I’m hearing that the Trust & Safety team has been told not to enforce Twitter’s ad policy unless the ad is a scam or illegal. This has caused a headache for T&S as it rolls back stricter enforcement rules and has prompted questions about what to do w/ads containing hate speech.
