Twitter Continues To Have A Twitter Problem: Opened October 2017, Closed July 2020
Social Media: The Intersection Of Money, Policy, And Hate: Opened July 2020, Closed February 2022
Social Media: Our Blasted Digital Hellscape: Opened February 2022, Closed November 6th, 2022
The Fall Of The House Of Social Media: Opened November 6th, 2022, Closed December 7th, 2022
It has been a Long year The Last Month in Social Media: Opened December 2022, Devolved into talking about hops.
So, I took it on myself to open a new one, cause the other one is just about people drinking or refusing to drink because they're like "waah,waah, I don't like beer"
Presumably, the following is still in effect:

The sentence was removed, (see The wayback machine for where it used to say it)
Now, it does still specify that attacks against gender identity are not tolerated, but it's less explicit now.
This is not great news, but more or less what I expected from Twitter and Musk. And since the enforcement of anything has been spotty anyway, I don't know if this actually changes anything.
It's a shitty platform to be on, it's now double shitty for Transgender people, but that's probably more because of the Nazi's, not so much the Lettering in the Code of Conduct.

I have a very reliable source that if it doesn’t happen tomorrow it will be delayed two months until June 9

It's so wild to me that companies still want to be on Twitter... I mean, on a lark, and because a CatTurd told him so, he changed the tags of Canadians public Broadcasting company to "69% government owned" because "hah, hah, the sex number"
That should just scare the bejesus out of any Marketing department, right? What if he changes your company to "Takes it in the butt..420" because it's funny? Like...run, don't walk, The Twitter CEO is just trolling with your Brand because he's bored!
And then the whole charging the National Weather Service 42,000 dollars a year to give Hurricane warnings through Twitter? And NO red state was "Hold up... Those warnings are for us, and he's holding them hostage to enrich himself"
The hate boner for Liberals and Gays can't be that erect that they're willing to suffer through all this, right?

For reference: Matt Walsh got hacked. Rumors are circulating that the hacker found some real juicy shit about this dirtbag.

I think he'd want to fully delay to August 8th for his fans.

In an unexpected move, Microsoft had enough of Twitter and says "I'm out."
Elon responds with "I'll sue"
NEWS: Microsoft drops Twitter from its advertising platform as they refuse to pay Twitter’s API fees.
Elon Musk:
They trained illegally using Twitter data. Lawsuit time.

The day that Jerry Garcia died?
8/8
88
Nazi lingo.
So yeah, sue one of the biggest tech companies in the world with essentially unlimited pocketbooks and an army of lawyers. I'm sure this will turn out good for you.
'course Elon is such a coward you know this is all hot air and within the week he'll be posting about how it's all just a misunderstanding and he'll hope nobody notices he just got owned AGAIN.
IANAL
But if they were doing something illegally with a company's data, and you say nothing until they refuse to pay you, that really sounds like extortion.
Yeah that makes sense. To me, this is august 8th
August 8th is a song by punk band NoFX that they wrote and recorded to celebrate Jerry Garcia's death because they hate hippies and the greatful dead, but a few years later they learned he actually died on the 9th instead.
Which is pretty funny to me!

So is this libel or...?
Because he is an idiot
Note that this reasoning also applies to embedding twitter posts
Because they make him feel like somebody likes him and he is an endless void of need.
Also that access to that data was done with the consent of Twitter in the first place.
Microsoft's lawyers have opinions on employees who grab data without their ok, and they really, really prefer it when the usage is explicitly allowed.
Because it’s a sockpuppet account that he runs.
He's just saying words, I doubt he believes it himself, but he needs to be BIG STRONK MAN who crushes all opposition, those nasty...nasty...Huge Liberal Tech Companies?
I actually suspect that he's just letting ChatGPT run his account, as it's just word-salad, but a bit more coherent then Trump.
Either that, or the "high on his own supply" theory is right, and he thrives on attention, and he has found the purest vein to inject straight into his ego.
And unfortunately, this is not one of those mild drugs, like the dreaded reefer madness.... no, this seems to quickly rot the brain.

Is it like as ubiquitous as Google's DoubleClick and thus a major contributor to Twitters ecosystem? Or is it a small fry?
I can't say I've ever heard of it, but I'm not in the Advertisement business.
I'm pretty sure that's by design.
unified ad campaigns.
Run a single campaign across multiple networks and let microsoft handle all the campaign header normalization so you can see stuff like where what campaigns performed better, what your spend by network is, etc.
Let's play Mario Kart or something...
It helps people market and publish corporate content on Twitter.
"This is a shoddy and sub-standard service"
"Yeah? Well... YOU'RE a shoddy and sub-standard PERSON"
Also they will have to publish to Twitter separately. So they probably won't, because special handling of one marginal platform is not worth it.
