i was kidding yesterday when i said tune in tomorrow but..... NEW: twitter has changed its policy *again* and will now allow people to share the NYPost story links because the article and information has been widely disseminated and is no longer privatehttps://www.nytimes.com/2020/10/16/technology/twitter-new-york-post.html …
