Here is the full video report from BBC on the apparent non-performance of the #Android earthquake warning system in Türkiye, and Google's opaque insistence that it did alert – with no evidence to back that claim up. I was asked to comment. https://t.co/YAeEDe5dXf

Here’s the link to our full investigation for @newsnightbbc looking into Google’s android alert system during the recent Turkish earthquakes. Despite all the evidence in front of us, the company maintains the service worked as planned.

Google’s early warning system could have saved thousands of lives in the devastating February 6th earthquake, but it didn’t. This important article by @JamesClayton5 @ben_derico @annaefoster asks why, and what about accountability?

Pleased to have helped with the reporting

[Harold Tobin @Harold_Tobin]

Google says @Android phone network provides earthquake early warning in dozens of countries, including Türkiye. They say alerts were sent to millions of users for the early 6 Feb M7.8 quake. Yet BBC could find essentially no one who received an alert. https://t.co/nCfztIGnOY

“We really shouldn't have the government compromising with companies,” [@emilymbender] said. “The government should act in the public interest and regulate.”

Welcome to X?

I've settled on calling it Xitter. In some cultures, the X is pronounced as "SH". So I'm on Shitter right now.

@ChrisChang8304 @washingtonpost so good, Chris!

Ceos raking in hundreds of millions of dollars as an annual salary while telling writers and actors they are being “unreasonable” while plotting to starve them out, is this century’s “Let them eat cake” moment.
