Twitter will label tweets limited due to hate policy violations
Twitter may have a looser stance on bans under Elon Musk, but it’s still willing to flag content that runs afoul of its rules. The social network will label tweets it believes are violating its Hateful Conduct policy. You’ll see a notice that Twitter is limiting the “visibility” of the problematic post with an opportunity to learn more.
The labels will cover more types of policy violations in the months ahead. Users can initially provide “feedback” on a label if they feel it was in error, but they’ll have to wait until sometime in the future to formally appeal decisions. The company stresses that the labels only apply to individual tweets, not an entire account.
We’re adding more transparency to the enforcement actions we take on Tweets. As a first step, soon you’ll start to see labels on some Tweets identified as potentially violating our rules around Hateful Conduct letting you know that we’ve limited their visibility. 🧵…

Twitter sees this as a reflection of its Musk-era “freedom of speech, not freedom of reach” philosophy where it more often shies away from outright bans in favor of limiting exposure to content. Theoretically, this prevents offensive speech from spreading without completely silencing users on the platform. It also promises greater transparency to address concerns of “shadow bans” that limit reach without someone’s knowledge. Musk has lifted bans on a number of high-profile accounts, including former President Trump’s, although it was willing to temporarily suspend Ye despite lifting a permanent ban in November.
The move might not please some. Advocacy groups have criticized Twitter for not doing enough to protect frequent targets of hate, such as the LGBTQ community. While offenders can still face bans if they’re “bad actors” or violate the law, they’re more likely to stay on the service. This also isn’t certain to satisfy advertisers leaving Twitter over concerns their ads may run alongside objectionable material. And while it will address concerns over possible censorship, it won’t necessarily please those who see labels as tarnishing a post’s worth.

Minecraft Legends review: a colourful RTS limited by its own small ambitions
Surveying the sprawling piglin outpost before me, a plan forms. With a flourish of button presses from my controller, I spawn a sizeable army of zombies. They’ll zomble their way up the main path, and with their high health pools they’ll cut into the vast piglin forces and buy me time. With another flourish a contingent of friendly creepers scuttles along behind me. I lead them on a flanking attack around the outpost, targeting their spawners while the main piglin army is occupied with my frontal assault. A masterpiece of tactical engineering!
Or it would have been, if my minions weren’t so bloody stupid. Half my zombies fell off the staircase they were climbing due to their terrible pathfinding, and burned up in the lava moat below. Meanwhile, I sent my creepers off to explode against the first spawner I found. Only one of them got there; the others relentlessly humped a wall they could easily have climbed, until Piglins surrounded and slaughtered them. I returned to my starting point with what remained of my army, a fair bit poorer in resources, and a great deal poorer in patience.
Welcome to Minecraft Legends, a strange mixture of real-time strategy and open-world adventure which frustrates and impresses in equal measure. There’s half a great game lurking here, but it’s marred by inadequacies that have nibbled away at me like piglins at my walls. This game could have been so much more.

Grab 7 Steam Games For $5.49 For A Limited Time
Fanatical’s adventure-packed Discover Bundle is available now for just $5.49 (retail price is $133.93). All seven games in the bundle feature giant worlds to explore and epic storylines, including two platformers based on beloved children’s cartoons, plus several RPGs, puzzle games, and action-adventure titles.
The first is Marsupilani – Hobbadventure, a 2.5D side-scrolling platformer based on the classic Marsupilami TV show and comic strip, with gameplay inspired by old-school classics like Donkey Kong Country. The other platformer is The Smurfs – Mission Vileaf. Licensed games don’t carry the best reputation, but Marsupilami: Hoobadventure and The Smurfs: Mission Vileaf enjoy high user ratings on Steam thanks to their level design that even those unfamiliar with the original properties can enjoy.
Twitter announces new API pricing, including a limited free tier for bots
Twitter has finally confirmed some of the details and pricing for the new version of its API. The company had previously delayed the changes after confirming that it was banning third-party clients as part of a larger shakeup of its developer features.
As expected, the company is maintaining a free tier with limited functionality, though it offers far less than its predecessor. Under the new free tier, which is aimed at bots and other “testing” purposes, accounts can post up to 1,500 tweets a month, but won’t be able to access any other featuires. That may offer a lifeline to some of Twitter’s famed bot accounts, but at about 50 tweets a day, may prove to be too limited for those that post more frequently.
At $100 a month, the new “basic” tier offers a bit more: developers can post up to 3,000 tweets a month at the user level and up to 50,000 a month at the app level. It also offers a read limit of 10,000 tweets a month, which, again, is far less than what was previously offered.
Meanwhile, an enterprise tier is meant for businesses that need a higher level of access, though details for that tier are still murky. According to Twitter’s developer website, the enterprise tier will include “commercial-level access that meets your and your customer’s specific needs” and other features. Businesses can apply for enterprise access, but the only pricing information Twitter has disclosed is that there will be “monthly subscription tiers.”
It’s also unclear what will happen to researchers and academics who currently rely on Twitter’s API for their work. In a series of tweets, the company said it was “looking at new ways to continue serving this community” but didn’t elaborate. Wired previously reported the company had told some organizations API access could run as much as $42,000 a month, but that plan doesn’t seem to have materialized, at least not yet.
The new details also mean that a lot of services using Twitter’s older APIs could soon stop working altogether. The company confirmed that its existing APIs, used by a vast number of developers, researchers and other services, would be deprecated within the next 30 days. “We recommend that you migrate to the new tiers as soon as possible for a smooth transition,” the company said. Though it’s unclear just how many developers will be willing to pay for stripped down versions of the APIs.
