Twitter Inc will launch new features and products faster to revamp its business after years of recession, the company said Thursday, aiming to double its annual revenue by 2023.

The stock rose 3.9 percent to $ 74.71 after seeing an all-time high of $ 80.75.

"Why don't we start with people not believing us," said Jack Dorsey, chief executive at the start of Twitter's Virtual Investor Day presentation. "There are three criticisms: we are slow, we are not innovative and we are not trusted."

The social media network outlined plans, including tipping and paid subscriptions, to "Super-follow" some accounts to reach at least $ 7.5 billion in annual revenue and 315 million daily active users (mDAU), or those who see ads, by the end of 2023.

A spokesman said the "Super follow" feature, which allows users to charge followers for access to exclusive content, would be launched this year.

The site, which is typically used to post text messages to a wide audience, is also trying to create more ways for people to chat.

This is approximately 1000 users tested with 'Spaces' using Twitter audio live discussions feature last month bought hosting and publishing service, allowing you to share content revue longer a newsletter that people using the facility.

It is also considering allowing “communities” to be created for specific interests.

Kayvon Beykpour, Twitter's head of consumer products, said creators can customize communities, including setting and enforcing "social norms" beyond Twitter's rules.

At the virtual event, Twitter's policy chief, Vijaya Gadde, also reiterated the company's support for the open internet. Dorsey said any changes to Section 230, a U.S. law that protects online companies from liability for content posted by users, would need to be done carefully.

Internationally, Twitter faces challenges in India, a fast-growing Sunday that requires social media companies to delete certain content and coordinate with law enforcement.

Twitter had previously refused to delete content linked to protests by farmers in India.

Pokemon Bans Cheating Players

Grammer confirmed the rebirth of the show: "I'm looking forward to sharing the next episode of Dr. Frasier Crane's ongoing journey."

There was no confirmation that other members of the original cast would also be returning.

Frasier remains one of the most successful television sitcoms in the United States. It ran for 11 seasons between 1993 and 2004 and won 37 Emmy Awards, including five for best comedy series.

"There has long been a call for the return of the fans, and this call has now been answered," said David Stapf, President of CBS Studios.

The series is set to air on the new streaming service Paramount +, although no date is given for when viewers can expect to watch.

Dr. Frasier Crane first appeared on another hit TV show "Cheers," and the spin-off series returned to his hometown of Seattle to take care of his grumpy father played by John Mahoney, who died in 2018.

The show also followed Frasier's relationship with his brother Niles, played by David Hyde Pierce, British housekeeper Daphne Moon, Jane Leeves, and Frasier's producer Roz Doyle, Fairy Gilpin. It is unknown whether they will return.

In January, it was announced that Sex and the City, another hit show of the 1990s, will also return.

The creators of Pokemon Go announced that they punished more than five million players for cheating. In a blog post, Niantic said it sanctioned players in three games - Pokemon Go, Ingress, and Harry Potter Wizards Unite. He said that since 2020, more than 20% of these are permanent bans."We have made a commitment to promoting fair play with all our players ... and to increase transparency with our players," he wrote creatively. Three popular games use augmented reality to combine the game with the real world.

"We continue to find the right balance between punishing ordinary scammers and the more terrifying ones."

The company said it was "committed to ensuring fair play".

"As we continued to grow our team, we invested in new and emerging technologies."

“We are constantly working to combat these scammers and focus on improving our detection and app as they are not included in our games,” Niantic added.

The European Union is already preparing for 6G with the Hexa-X Project led by Nokia

Nokia's New Complex

Project code name: Hexa-X. A project dedicated to the development of 6G, funded by the European Union under its Horizon 2020 program for research and innovation. The project is led by the Finnish

telecommunications giant Nokia. Twenty-two telecom heavyweights of nine different nationalities are joining in this global race for a new 6th generation network infrastructure.

With speeds 50 times higher than 5G, permanent access, and reduced energy consumption, among the craziest uses envisaged for this network of the future is the use of "digital twins" perfectly replicating objects, machines, humans in the form of avatars, even able to simulate in 3D places, such as offices or factories with the possibility of interacting remotely with its virtual environment.

The European Union is not alone in sharing its vision of 6G with the rest of the world. China has already put into orbit last November a satellite that is entirely dedicated to it. Korean equipment manufacturer Samsung is also preparing for the next telecommunications network.

For their part, The Americans founded their industrial group. But this time Europe intends not to be left behind neither by Asia nor by the United States as was the case with 5G. but to send its digital twin to work for us, we will have to wait about 10 years. The next telecommunications network will be operational around 2030.
