Twitter Inc. TWTR -0.46% has reached a deal to buy newsletter platform Revue Holding BV, the companies said Tuesday, reflecting the interest among social-media companies in providing content creators with tools to make money.

Financial terms of the deal for Revue, a startup founded in the Netherlands in 2015, weren’t disclosed.

“Revue will accelerate our work to help people stay informed about their interests while giving all types of writers a way to monetize their audience–whether it’s through the one they built at a publication, their website, on Twitter, or elsewhere,” said Twitter’s product chief, Kayvon Beykpour, and vice president of publisher products, Mike Park, in a blog post.

Revue said in a tweet that Twitter’s purchase of the company would help accelerate investment into products to better serve customers.

Big Tech’s deplatforming of former President Donald Trump has sparked a debate about the future of content moderation on social media. WSJ speaks with a disinformation and moderation expert about what comes next.
