Super serious job of CEO for three different billion dollar companies is so time consuming that he has spare time “to work” as a head of a government department, as well.
This makes me think that maybe CEOs don’t actually do that much.
Even before… all this… anyone still on Twitter was an asshole.
Stop visiting the Nazi bar.
I post photos online, and despite the fact that the platforms (Tumblr, and I think Pixelfed too?) scrub exif data, I do it manually anyway.
Pro tip:
exiftool -overwrite_original -All= file.jpgIf it’s a photo on my phone, I have location tagging turned off… but I definitely take a screenshot of the photo anyway. The lower quality doesn’t matter to me if I can easily just remove EXIF data.
Worth remembering that if you send something to an external website, what they do with it is completely outside of your control.
Trust no company with your information.
Don’t think this will only affect the us. This can be used against anyone living in a country that’s friendly with the turd.
Leave twitter. For your own safety.
It’s literally a matter of national security for other nations.
Oh no, it’s fine, we’re just being softly threatened with the enabling of a Russian invasion of our eastern borders should we force Twitter to comply with our laws. No real problem here, keep posting.
Just stop using Twitter. I’m so glad I erased myself from the Internet and I would encourage others to do the same. Thought crimes are actually going to be a thing, because America is now fully fascist. Some people will find out what it’s like to live in a fully authoritarian country. Don’t be one of them if you can avoid it.
Twitter and all of the other sites you left still have your data. It’s just not public. The internet is forever unless the company literally nosedives and all of their servers are wiped. And even then, there might be some backup on someone else’s servers.
Well, yes, of course. Are you suggesting people stay on twitter because it’s too late?
I’m saying it’s too late to erase yourself from the internet. The best you could do is not make it worse for yourself, which would involve quitting Twitter.
But if there was any indication on any social media site that you’re queer, even if you think the data has been erased, you could be in big trouble soon.
Well I never really used Twitter much and stopped years ago. And I realize I cannot totally erase myself but I did a pretty exhaustive job a few years ago. Trying to maintain as much privacy as I can. I can’t erase the past but I can abate my concerns moving forward
Twitter has been a right wing revenge honeypot since melon head took over.
No idea why anyone that’s not racist, sexist, or has a reasonable level of intelligence is still on that site.
My friend was way into it for news directly from journalists and had been on the site since the beginning. As soon as Trump’s victory was secure he deleted his account and moved to BlueSky.
Time to leave that site to the deplorables and move on.
I knew a journalist who said she used it for work. Apparently that’s just where a critical mass of people refuse to leave.
But also she’d send me stupid memes from Twitter.
If you’re still hanging out with Nazis you deserve whatever happens to you.
Keep in mind that we’re in an echo chamber here. We see and read stuff that most people don’t care to know about, and we communicate amongst ourselves without considering the people who are outside of our echo chamber. In the same way people last week were googling about Biden dropping out of the election, a lot of people don’t know what’s happening with a lot of things around them. It doesn’t make them bad people, just ignorant.
TBF, any of the big players are rife to capitulate to fed demands with the admin changes. Keep that crap out of Facebook, X, Google, Microsoft, unencrypted chat.
whatever data anyone has (google, facebook, your employer, your bank, the credit bureaus) basically belongs to trump’s nsa, fbi, cia, etc now
And the stasi! Don’t forget the stasi!
Sure glad I never had a Xitter account.
If you don’t think every major US site has been freely giving your data to the government for 20+ years, you’re painfully naive. US law has never required a warrant for this type of thing due to the Third Party Doctrine.
Can twatter app not also track location, and use mic & cam at will?
On modern phones, it will tell you if it’s using them. And you can block permissions.
however, given who is the owner, right now the best course of action is to consider xitter as a compromised app and treat it as malware/spyware
