@Gwanatu The feature is still not live, right?
And it was shown prominently in an ad, right?
And that ad didn't include a visible disclaimer indicating the feature wasn't available yet?

I mean, it's textbook criteria for false advertising.
So yeah, Meta lied to attract customers.

Alternate title: Congressman engages in casual racketeering because friends can't get paid for peddling misinformation.
Just normal 2024 things.

Dear @SamsungMobile and @ATT, you force installed crapware without permission?!? Grow up, get better, and stop this BS. It's offensive. What is going wrong in anybody's head that this is even on the list of things to do?

I won't accept this behavior, this is enough to lose me.

@soulver With Twitter becoming increasingly, let's say troubled, and even inaccessible to many, are you open to adding another outlet for communication? I personally prefer Mastodon, but there are obviously options.

@Rotolight I really wish you would have kept this program going longer, or indefinitely. I have an original NEO and 3x NEO 2s that I'd love to upgrade, but it's way outside of the budget right now.

First it was a large portion of the infosec and tech sphere, and now it's climate scientists. Nobody can call it a win if experts and professionals scramble to get away.

@dcseifert @Mobile_Dom Cool, but even after 16 years, Twitter can't seem to stay online.

@imyke [checks the records]
Yeah, it looks like somebody already did that

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

Given that Twitter serves as the de facto public town square, failing to adhere to free speech principles fundamentally undermines democracy.

What should be done?

[Cody Toombs @Cody_Toombs]

Since Twitter's future is in doubt, I can be found on Mastodon at @[email protected]

I also put together a quick linktree. I'm not done adding to it yet, but I'll fill it out a bit more this weekend.

@scuttlefield But her best friend didn't ;)

@akornblatt And the state really needs to implement either run-off elections or ranked choice voting. It costs relatively little money to buy a state by paying for a spoiler to siphon votes.

@CanterRain @MichaelCrider @tallshmo Elon is calling it verification so it will appeal to people that have been chasing it for so long. You can certainly believe what you want, I just doubt it'll live up to your expectations.
