Thanks for mentioning this. You've hit the question I've been focusing on most. I've been a Twitter user for more than 10 years at this point, and for a long time they weren't as serious about abuse as I wanted. Not even close. But I think this time might be different.
I want to be careful to respect my NDA here, but I think I can fairly say that a) I was totally skeptical when I first started talking to them, and b) I now think there is a lot of reason for hope.
Private stuff aside, I think there are a couple of public reasons to think this may be the turning point. One is the enormous beating they've been taking in the press about this for the last year or so. The other is that their abuse problem was a big factor in them not getting offers from a couple of suitors during their attempt to sell themselves. I think it's safe to say their abuse problem cost investors literally billions of dollars. That is a pretty big learning opportunity.
