[...] that’s not how any of this works. At all. If the ADL is convincing advertisers not to advertise on exTwitter, that’s their free speech in the marketplace of ideas. And if that speech caused advertisers to bail, that means that Elon is losing in the marketplace of ideas. If you actually believe in free speech, you...
Users who clicked a link on Musk’s website, now called X, for one of the targeted websites were made to wait about five seconds before seeing the page, according to tests conducted Tuesday by The Washington Post....
The ABC is shutting down almost all of its official accounts on Twitter – now known as X under Elon Musk’s ownership – citing “toxic interactions”, cost and better interaction with ABC content on other social media platforms.
When Elon Musk announced that Twitter would become X—a “one-stop-shop” for finance and social media—many commentators were surprised. The idea seemed to come from nowhere. For those familiar with Musk’s history, however, both the name and the idea would have sounded familiar.
In person Elon is oddly charming and he’s genuinely funny. He also has personality quirks like telling the same stories and jokes over and over. The challenge is his personality and demeanor can turn on a dime going from excited to angry. Since it was hard to read what mood he might be in and what his reaction would be to any...
"[I] got an email basically saying they are taking it," Hwang told Mashable in an email exchange.
Jako że nie mam Twittera Blue i mieć nie zamierzam, tym bardziej po tym, o czym przeczytacie w niniejszym tekście, dosyć szybko została mi zablokowana możliwość korzystania z Twittera. Wiedziona ciekawością, wolny czas poświęciłam zatem temu, co do tej pory zaniedbałam, mianowicie poszukiwaniu odpowiedzi,...
In a series of late-night tweets Saturday, Musk shared that the company’s famous bird logo and name would soon be no more. The company, it seems, will simply be known as “X.”...
Everything worked fine until Elon Musk took over.
Since the earliest days of Twitter, the easiest way to find out more about an account was to look beyond its tweets and dig deeper into who follows that account and who that account is following. Now, users are discovering that Twitter seems to either be glitching or intentionally limiting access to the complete lists of any...
From his critics to the enemies of foreign governments, Elon Musk seems willing and eager to censor. Musk himself a "free speech absolutist." Take a look at these examples and see if that seems accurate.
Twitter Inc. made headlines this week when it suspended the account of Aaron Greenspan, a well-known critic of Tesla Inc. and its CEO Elon Musk....
On Wednesday, in reply to someone on Twitter complaining about being blocked, Elon said that “blocking public posts makes no sense” and saying that “it needs to be deprecated in favor of a stronger form of mute.”
The chief of Twitter’s trust and safety division, Ella Irwin, left the company that same day, after a tenure leading its efforts around content moderation. A second executive, A.J. Brown, whose job was to reassure advertisers that Twitter was a safe place for their brands, also decided to quit, The Wall Street Journal...
“Bye, bye birdie,” Jourova tweeted on Saturday. “Twitter has chosen a hard way to comply with our digital laws,” she added.
Using Twitter is still a necessary evil for many of us, me included. But given the pace of alternatives suddenly emerging, those days are numbered. I fully expect Twitter to be obsolete by the end of the year, a $44-billion boondoggle that’ll resemble little more than a glorified Parler or Gab. Yet another ‘unscheduled rapid...
I wrote a blog post titled 'The day I decided to build my own “Twitter”' and I still stand behind it. Yet I returned to Twitter. What gives?
The trio claimed that they had effectively “broken the internet” because of mass interest in the event, but in reality that was not the case. The audience that assembled was not even close to epic proportions. At its peak, some six-hundred thousand listeners were awaiting DeSantis’ remarks during the initial Twitter Spaces...
This concerns some Twitter users because, as Time reported, "No single government in history has ever been able to exert such extensive control over what is being said, read, and shared by so many people across the world in real time." In response to Twitter's seeming abandonment of prior free speech defenses, one nonpartisan...
The decision once again puts Twitter CEO Elon Musk’s controversial free speech policies into the spotlight. This time, critics say, he is ceding to demands from Turkey’s right-wing leader, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Much of Turkey’s media is under government control, and critics accuse Ergodan of cracking down on...
Following numerous complaints from users concerned that the Circles feature of Twitter was broken, the company has conceded that tweets that were supposed to be visible to only a select number of people were in fact accessible by anyone.
Out of about 150,000 early subscribers to Twitter Blue, just around 68,157 have stuck around and maintained a paid subscription as of April 30. Subscriptions are $8 per month – $11 on mobile.
Both Lemon8 and Bluesky are imitations of apps that are already popular. Lemon8 is TikTok's new competitor to Instagram. And Bluesky is the new competitor to Twitter, endorsed by one of Twitter's original founders Jack Dorsey. It's funny to call these apps competitors when they are more correctly just replicas with only very...
Musk, who has been scuffling with the media since acquiring the platform last year, asked if NPR was going to start tweeting again.
Yoel Roth did a lot of jobs at Twitter over the years, but it was always the same kind of job. He was in the content moderation business, one of those people who decide which of your posts can stay up on the internet and which ones need to come down.
