So what happens to the people who tweet about said ads with a clip?

I have a better idea: just delete your TWITTER account and walk-away from it.
I've never had a Twitter account, never felt the need for one, and never want one. Easy peasey.

By banning all political ads, twitter:
- Can't be blamed for being unfair
- Prevents Trump from running ads helping his Campaign.
- Prevents Demcrats from running ads helping Trumps Campaign.

Will they delete “tweets” that contain political information or someone’s political opinion? Those won’t be “ads” by definition.....

There must be some evidence of the ads helping Trump. He can just tweet them

Absolutely. They know Trump has one of the biggest following on Twitter. Dorsey, being a lefty never Trumper CANNOT just remove his account. His 2 visits to the WH was akin to a mafia guy visiting the Godfather for a verbal warning.

This is designed to hurt Trump or he wouldn’t be doing it.

in other words...all ads except those for and by President Trump will be allowed.
To: yesthatjallen
This is an anti-Trump move. One of the goals of Trump 2020 is to target suburban women that live their lives on social media, such as Twitter and Facebook. The Left has already managed to silence a lot of right-wing voices on those platforms just through changes in policies and algorithms, so ad buys were a way to get around that and get the message heard. Jack and Twitter’s goal here is not only to silence right-wing ads on Twitter, but to put pressure on Zuckerberg/Facebook to do the same.
The Left wants to silence you in every way possible. Time to wake up and fight.
To: yesthatjallen
They will just call not-for-profit types of leftist organizations non-political and they will allow their advertising I guarantee it. They will not turn down cash.

Agreed. They’ve made their calculations, and = The harm to Rats < The harm to Trump.

Yes and abortion ads will be classified as women’s health issue.

That’s very fixable, by declaring TWTR a political organization and denying it the ability to deduct any of its expenses from revenue, since they are contributions to the Democratic party.
