I spent the past two years building a team dedicated to identifying predators and groomers on the platform. We've found over half a million and counting. This change prevents developers from banning them from their games.
This update will break cross-game data stores, including ban lists. Safety systems like EASI identify accounts through user IDs. If that ID isn't consistent across games, our system can't identify them. Everyone needs to speak out against this.
That's our member behind the wheel. He was pulled out of the cab and suffered shock and physical injury to his arm, back and head.
The whole city is elated about our hometown team — and that includes drivers who watched the game last night at airport lots while waiting for the next fare, listened on their radios while cruising for the next job, and huddled at hotel lines with the same heart-stopping anxiety that turned into the most beautiful joy.
Pulling the cab driver out of his seat, stomping on and shattering his hood turned our joy into a nightmare.
When you see the yellow, do you not see the person behind the wheel? That's someone's spouse, child, parent or friend — a New Yorker.
He wasn’t out there for a joy ride, he was working to make ends meet and to get his fellow New Yorkers home safely.
Cabbies pay just to go to work. They pay for their cars — whether through loans or leases.
Drivers need safety on the job, both in the quiet moments of ordinary days and in the middle of public celebration.
Shame on anyone who turns these joyful moments into nightmares for fellow New Yorkers.
Meet John.
John had a rough childhood. He liked dolls, hanging out with girls, and doing things that made him happy. His stepdad hated that. Every time John acted a little too feminine, stepdad would beat his ass and tell him to "be a man."
Unfortunately, John understood this in the dumbest way possible. Instead of becoming a man, he became obsessed with proving he was one.
So John started hanging out with guys. The guys laughed at him. John started picking fights. The guys beat the shit out of him. John spent years discovering that getting punched in the face doesn't automatically create a personality.
Fast forward a few years. John discovers Twitter. Now he finally has a place where he can feel powerful without getting his ass kicked.
Today, John rides trains looking for the smallest guy in the carriage. Once he finds his target, he sits next to him, takes a photo, and posts something deep like:
"Life is hierarchical."
Every time an influencer tries this they fail though, unless they use their audience or wealth. Like how ludwig failed, coped and had to start hinting to his chat about his "secret channel" until they found it, blew it up and then he claimed victory.
