I haven’t been playing close attention to this thread, my apologies if someone has already shared this.

Quote:

Elon Musk could put Twitter behind a paywall and charge users a monthly fee to view tweets,*according to a report from tech newsletter Platformer.

A person familiar with the plans told Platformer that both Musk and one of his advisers, venture capitalist David Sacks, have discussed the idea in meetings in recent days.

Elon Musk Could Put All of Twitter Behind a Paywall, Report Says

It’s almost as if the rich douchebro who is an expert at nothing and has speculated in different industries has no fucking idea how social media works.

Lol: Twitter sent an HR email to every laid off employee acknowledging it's late getting people their separation agreements and release of claims. But the company messed up the BCC and it has become a reply-all catastrophe.

Omnicom, the massive advertising firm that represents McDonald's, Apple, Unilever, and Johnson & Johnson and 5,000 other companies, has now recommended that all its clients pause Twitter ad spending.

I am probably going to fail, but I am really looking forward to invoking the kind of sanctimony that is exclusive to our priesthood.

It is naturally up to marketing to decide how best to protect and build the brand, but I am obligated to bring forward a few points for consideration, to ensure that we consider how best to protect the interests of my client, which is, of course, the entire company...

Srs question for lolyer types - do you consider both the risks to the company of staying on Tw****r and the risks of not being there? Would you advise clients to keep a presence if only to refute impersonators, or to go completely silent?

Now, a company lawyer is encouraging employees to seek whistleblower protection “if you feel uncomfortable about anything you’re being asked to do.”

Quote:

“I anticipate that all of you will be pressured by management into pushing out changes that will likely lead to major incidents,” the Twitter lawyer wrote in the Slack message, which you can read in full at the end of this article.

and indeed you can.

I don't think it's even really a legal question at the moment - there are lots of exotic theories about what kinds of liability Twitter might be creating for itself (outside of getting sued by regulators, etc.) but I think they're a bit out there. It's mainly a marketing issue, and the legal aspect of it is the absence of remedies, or at least timely ones.

My personal view is that right now, Twitter is basically 8chan. Brand activity is now disproportionately risky. There's no revenue driver in getting into a Twitter slapfight with a Nazi. Idle whatever accounts you have (without deleting them) and keep your head down. Don't place new ads and don't use Twitter for active engagement any further.

1) dude knows he is about to get fired and is planning accordingly

Musk’s new legal department is now asking engineers to “self-certify” compliance with FTC rules and other privacy laws, according to the lawyer’s note and another employee familiar with the matter, who requested anonymity to speak without the company’s permission.

Never, ever forget that the company's lawyers are not your lawyers.

Seems like he's vacillating wildly between his two strongest self preservation instincts: protecting his ego and protecting his money, and just bouncing back and forth faster and faster unable to accept they're just fundamentally incompatible in this situation https://t.co/cFnFMUX4zG

BREAKING: Horror legend Stephen King tweets that he “liked Twitter better in the pre-Musk days,” Musk replies with a ghost emoji, gets ignored by King, then Musk replies again telling King that he’s “a fan” — gets ignored again — and then insecure Musk deletes his replies. LOL!

In which a "genius" attempts to troll a U.S. Senator about how some reporter was able to pay 8 bucks for a "verified" account in the senator's name.

Comments are predictably hilarious. Twitter still appears to have more than its fair share of Douchenozzlist religion acolytes (largely economic loberts, techbros, and dumbfucks who consider "rich, therefore spectacularly intelligent and competent" a self-evident truth).

Twitter contractors are also losing their healthcare on Monday — with roughly 48 hours notice. Workers with ongoing health conditions, and some who are pregnant, are scrambling. Information about COBRA is going out via snail mail. https://t.co/wgkiLre2Dy

This is why I keep saying Twitter is dying.

It's not checkmarks or blue.

It's not even the incompetent management (tho doesn't help)

It's that he needs > $100m *a month* in new recurring cash to pay the debt interest.

Sure, microservices bloatware is the problem with software today.

Coming soon: a hundred business books, seminars, and degree course modules called "How to Run a Tech Company [Into The Ground] : Lessons from the Elon Musk Era".
