Twitter C/D

no i'm sure he doesn't, but the FTC does have enforcement capabilities.

looks like the biggest fine to date is $5B against fb in 2019, which at the time was a landmark fine for them to levy. elon's down $44B in twitter and on the hook for $1B a year for a decade, what's another $5B to the richest man in the world

There are two “Twitter Blue”, but one is more expensive than the other pic.twitter.com/040m6QRoYp

elon isn't afraid to let both plans compete, see what works, what fails

I'm sticking around here, this is more fun than twitter has been in ages

I am hear-by issuing a challenge to @AlanDersh. Streetbeefs, come get some Dersh. There can only be one dusty old pedophile attorney around these parts.

they should do the SA thing where you have to pay to change your avatar but can also pay to change other peoples avatars

ooooh ooooh ooooh
Twitter blue

Lmao that would actually make a decent amount of money

moving from $4.99 Blue to $7.99 Blue is the equivalent of graduating up from Gap to Banana Republic

Everyone you follow who paid in one place for easy blocking

sadly that seems to only be Al Jazeera + for me.

why AJ+ isn't already verified, I do not know.

you know why

They may have paid for Twitter Blue, but AJ+ have long been verified. Here’s an archive.other snapshot from February, for example. Or am I misunderstanding?

It’s only been a week but I feel like I was way off in my prediction that someone will surely acquire Twitter. It’s unreal how fast my Twitter timeline has devolved into crypto scam bullshit (even outside of this week’s crypto news).

I’m surprised they didn’t get fired already but this is bad for users. Mudge’s replacement and by all accounts much better at the job.

I've made the hard decision to leave Twitter. I've had the opportunity to work with amazing people and I'm so proud of the privacy, security, and IT teams and the work we've done.

I'm looking forward to figuring out what's next, starting with my reviews for @USENIXSecurity 😁

fire all the under performers, then all the best people quit, boom youve cut your payroll to zero, the perfect plan

its funny cuz twitter says it's got more new mdau than ever

(no word from elon how many are spam bots)

Good luck with that consent decree. Elon may not care, but senior employees are personally liable IIUC.

According to messages shared in Twitter Slack, Twitter’s CISO, chief privacy office, and chief compliance officer all resigned last night.

An employee says it will be up to engineers to “self-certify compliance with FTC requirements and other laws.”

hahahaha

hey elon…. are ya winnin, son?

That Casey newton thread is worth clicking through to

No matter how shit Musk is at his job, some people will say chaos is just his thing.

Amazing how twitter is getting better.

good morning pic.twitter.com/dix4EFeg5F

that's incredible, if i'm a SWE there i'm not writing one more line of code without a personal uncapped indemnity from elon himself

i'm mad that he already used his "hey i just like to try a million things and most of them fail, that's normal and we just move toward the things that did work" excuse because that's totally my excuse. he's ruined it for the little guy

3/ sounds fun.

1.) He reverses course & Twitter returns to something resembling what it looked like in Summer 2022.

or

2.) Infrastructure decay & active user flight spiral the company towards bankruptcy & obsolescence.

Unfortunately, I think there is a door #3.

2/8

— Matt Seybold (@MEASeybold) November 9, 2022

This guy knows what’s up

This is a really big deal. Twitter made huge strides towards a more rational internal security model and backsliding will put them in trouble with the FTC, SEC, 27 EU DPAs and a variety of other regulators.

There is a serious risk of a breach with drastically reduced staff. https://t.co/2VxOC6d6lY

— Alex Stamos (@alexstamos) November 10, 2022

Mlxp - maybe I'm too optimistic, but I kinda feel like option 2 is baked in at this point, b/w all the layoffs/resignations and PR hits twitter has been taking. Just yesterday, the 70 yr Bahamian security guard I work with who's never been on social media in his life was ranting about how pathetic and dangerous Elon is.

Holy shit, Alex Spiro was Aaron Hernandez's defense attorney

In the same message, the employee said Twitter’s current head of Legal, Alex Spiro, said “Elon is willing to take on a huge amount of risk in relation to his company and its users, because ‘Elon puts rockets into space, he’s not afraid of the FTC.’”

— Casey Newton (@CaseyNewton) November 10, 2022

Now seems like the perfect time to give Twitter our credit card and bank account numbers.

Or, you know, pictures of cartoon monkeys or whatever.

lmao (thread). hero.

NEW: A senior member of Twitter’s legal team just posted this message in Slack:“Everyone should know that our CISO, Chief Privacy Officer and Chief Compliance Officer ALL resigned last night. This news will be buried in the return-to-office drama. I believe that is intentional.”

— Zoë Schiffer (@ZoeSchiffer) November 10, 2022

It's a shame that all of you low brained betas just can't see the brilliance of Musk's moves here.

FTC not happy

Strong statement from FTC, following the security and privacy departures at Twitter: "We are tracking recent developments at Twitter with deep concern. No CEO or company is above the law, and companies must follow our consent decrees."

— Cat Zakrzewski (@Cat_Zakrzewski) November 10, 2022

"Our revised consent order gives us new tools to ensure compliance, and we are prepared to use them.”

— Cat Zakrzewski (@Cat_Zakrzewski) November 10, 2022

But Elon rides around on a space rocket. You can't catch him!

i don't care to know this information. I'm just here to watch everything burn

at this point the question is who nukes twitter from orbit first, the pharma lawyers? the disney lawyers? the sports league lawyers? the toy lawyers? pic.twitter.com/hw2RcN1l77

— kilgore trout, death to putiner (@KT_So_It_Goes) November 10, 2022

Uh yeah in regards to the tweet xyzzzz posted it really doesn’t look like Twitter will even survive long enough to become some sort of right wing dickpill haven. I did not think Elon would do a good job running the show but holy hell I was not expecting things to get so bad this fast

would be funny if Musk builds a space station to live in while thumbing nose at all of earth's governments

his first all hands seems to have gone well

OK I'm fully convinced: I am taking my checking and savings needs to Twitter https://t.co/VmRFLeCgqR

— Sam Biddle (@samfbiddle) November 10, 2022

it's good when you've owned a company for less than a fortnight and start talking bankruptcy right

lol there goes trust and safety

NEW: Multiple Twitter sources say Yoel Roth is leaving the company.
