Then the developers wrote that traditional banner advertising was of little interest to them and promised to explore the possibilities of earning in the area of ​​user and corporate relations.
Another aspect touched upon by the new agreement concerns rights of ownership. The main idea advanced by the service is: “Your tweets belong to you, not Twitter”. Twitter is allowed to “use, copy, reproduce, process, adapt, modify, publish, transmit, display and distribute” your tweets, because Twitter is designed for that. However, these are your tweets, and they belong to you.
