Twitter 3.0

If you had a kid in high school who had to dodge kitty litter boxes all day, you'd change your tune.

Huh?

Huh?

He's referencing the thoroughly debunked (yet somehow still persisting) reports that there are high schools providing litter boxes  in bathrooms for students who identify as cats.

Then they get offended when we refer to Rs as ignorant.

On the other hand, I've been drinking so much fresh baby blood that it seems like I have to pee all the time.

Could we maybe keep the politics out of this topic since the first two got shut down already?  Thanks.

To be fair, Waunakee was one of those schools, and no one likes Waunakee.

Which is why it's the only Waunakee in the world.

When I'm rich, I'm going to buy a bunch of land, start a town and call it waunakee.   F them kids.

Went to college with 3 guys from Waunakee.  They bring back hugs of Waunakee water when they went home

Elon Musk sold billions more in Tesla stock to pay for his Twitter deal. He sold nearly $4 billion worth of shares in recent days, according to regulatory filings, bringing his total sales for the year to $36 billion.

One too many, unfortunately.

New management sucks

Elon Musk sold billions more in Tesla stock to pay for his Twitter deal. He sold nearly $4 billion worth of shares in recent days, according to regulatory filings, bringing his total sales for the year to $36 billion.

More stock manipulation for which Musk will never be held accountable. He was spinning rosy visions of Tesla's future stock price while (most damning) saying/hinting/implying that they would initiate a stock buy back, all in order to prop up the price as he was unloading.

That's RIF #2

Twitter's chief privacy officer Damien Kieran, chief information security officer Lea Kissner, and chief compliance officer Marianne Fogarty all resigned this week, according to Platformer reporter Casey Newton.

In their absence, engineers will reportedly be expected to "self-certify compliance with [Federal Trade Commission] requirements and other laws."

The departures expose Twitter, and individual employees, to potentially billions of dollars in legal liability, stemming in particular from an agreement the company reached with the FTC in May for misusing private user data to serve ads.

In a note obtained by The Verge, a lawyer on the company's privacy team sounded the alarm internally and encouraged employees to seek whistleblower protection if they're asked to do anything they're uncomfortable with.

"Over the last two weeks, Elon has shown that he cares only about recouping the losses he's incurring as a result of failing to get out of his binding obligation to buy Twitter," the letter reads, in part. "He chose to enter into that agreement! All of us are being put through this as a result of choices he made."

"I have heard Alex Spiro (current head of legal) say that Elon is willing to take on huge amount of risk in relation to this company and its users," the author wrote, "because 'Elon puts rockets into space, he's not afraid of the FTC.'"

Separately Thursday, Yoel Roth, Twitter's head of Trust & Safety and a leading figure in the fight against hate speech on the platform, was also said to be leaving the company.



I can't wait for the Netflix movie in a couple of years on this debacle.

For the legal folks. Does Twitter open itself up to legal liability in any of this. Twitter is "authenticating" these users as the legitimate people/companies that are unknown with the blue checkmark.

But they didn't do their due diligence, negligently authenticated them, and those entities then ridiculed/embarassed the well known figures/companies.
