I give Xitter 2 more years max

Fun fact... the letter "X" is pronounced "sh" in Portuguese.

For example, "Xampu" is pronounced "Shampoo" and means the same.

---

So "Xitter" is pronounced "Shitter"... no joke.

Actually do we know if he fired them? Feels like thats the kind of department he'd see as surplus to requirements....

Fucking hell, they just want to make the site unusable. Hopefully a competitor that isn't shit starts blowing up. I just use the site to follow creators, so all I need is a good place where most will hopefully migrate. Last I saw, Threads was pretty shit, so hopefully they get that going better.

I'm convinced Elon Musk hates Twitter so much he purchased it just to kill it from within. I've had that idea for awhile now because nobody makes this amount of stupid af decisions for a company without wanting to kill it.

You give the man too much credit.

I'm sure as fuck not giving them that information. I only keep it active to communicate with a few progressive pundits I listen to, however no way I'm giving them that info and if my account isn't closed by then it will be the day I close my account.

I mean..

Yeah? Guess it depends on what you mean "killed". If the story is actually true activity will sharply decline.

That's true of like anything. Add a hurdle, no matter how simple, and you are gonna lose participation. Imagine this site requiring the same thing. Any site. It would be bad.

They keep pushing for this exact thing in the UK and it has collapsed every time under no actual way to properly implement it.

Elon will likely ram it through regardless.

Not at the moment, the industry itself opposes it.

As for Twitter, alt tech will take a lot of the users, fans of Japanese media already are already covered with several decentralized options to boot, then there's at least 1 Vtuber centric social media site out there.

People have complained a lot and put up with a lot, but I think that THIS will be the thing that finishes Twitter, or at least comes close to it. I honestly don't see the average person being okay with surrendering so much information to a website like this.

Apparently it's not mandatory, it's an additional way to verify your account.
Which still begs the question, who's gonna be stupid enough to do this when Twitter is home to some of the lowest scum and has a history of data breaches?

Now this is going to be fun.

1) I'm 100% sure that they won't be going to accept all the different kind of government issued ID documents. Will be interesting what kind of troubles arise in some countries.

2) The EU and their privacy laws are probably also pretty curious about the details

EDIT:

Maybe he didn't know about it and didn't research further and only saw the OP tweet, then spread the news.

Either way, Exhibit A on how rumors spread.

I still definitely think that Musk is just testing the waters though. It's going to expand into mandatory and anyone who doesn't see it is blind.

Very much so. We've been left by an ever growing right wing government for over a decade.

They always use 'to protect the children' or 'stop TERRORISM' as their excuse, despite their laws doing nothing against it or going so extreme to strip basic rights and freedoms for everyone. And you can already restrict what content your children see anyway.

The actual reasonable answer is that he's a shitty businessman who's relied on others to do the heavy lifting for his entire career, and when he finally takes the reins in a very front facing way this is what happens.
