Maybe @Twitter should implement a scholarship program for financially disadvantaged persons so they don’t have to be left out of the conversation if they can’t afford $8/mo. @elonmusk@johncoogan It’s unfortunate but for a lot of people $8/mo is more than they can afford to speak
dear all democratic, republican and independent candidates currently running for office or considering running for office; dont do the the tiktok dance, dont do any cute tiktoks. please listen to me, for the love of god please.
I genuinely love both VR and Zuck's plan to build it.
But I think Meta is making some really basic unforced errors that are hurting adoption.
Yes, it's going to take years to solve key hardware issues, but they could easily fix the problems mentioned below:
How well this works depends on exactly how much due diligence is done to make sure blue checks are who they say they are. "Pay $8/month and call yourself whatever" would damage the blue check's anti-scam role. But if there's more actual verification, the result is very different.
@AOC I think the whole idea is that we’re paying for a verification process to show that we’re actual people, not anonymous spam bots. Spam organizations won’t be able to pay for hundreds if not thousands of blue checks, plus they won’t pass the verification process
@Time05205337@tim_cook You’ll have to wait the 18 days, Apple has a very high degree of account security and lockouts are part of it so people can’t brute force their way into your account without allowing a timeframe for someone to realize something is wrong and avoid the hack.
@Anthony_Wooley@JohnFit00782884@DavidKapur@ShamelessOne2@mmpadellan Fair enough but what is the point in arming yourself again a government with infinitely more fire power than you, any one person, no matter how many guns they have, can’t defend themselves against the US military or even a moderately funded police force
@Anthony_Wooley@DavidKapur@ShamelessOne2@mmpadellan Okay I’m glad we can agree on that. Why don’t you think semi-automatic weapons should also be illegal? I’m just trying to have an honest conversation so we can find ways to work out our differences rather than just hating each other
@Anthony_Wooley@DavidKapur@ShamelessOne2@mmpadellan That why I think criminals and crazy people getting gun should be regulated. I’m not arguing that we should ban all guns, just gun that are designed to kill many people at once, and limit or license those that are able to get firearms, agree?
