when elon musk called up ceos to whine about them dropping advertising on twitter, that is lame

I say imagine because of course this threat is about as real as the famous Modern Warfare 2 'boycott'.

Yes they do. They took down everything Facebook made on a specific developer account years ago. They took down Fortnite, even. They don’t give any fucks.

Musk thinks he’s baiting fish but actually it’s just two very large sharks.

IIRC delisting Twitter means that it can't be downloaded, right? Not that it wipes the app from phones that already have it?

that's usually how it works yes, but a service like twitter will want to push regular updates which they can't do easily if they're delisted

That's my understanding.

I assume they also have a 'Nuke it all/this just stops working' option they could use but no-one (as far as I know) has been crazy enough to require it so far today.

Right. Until they moderate it properly and basically remove all the nazi poo poo they just added back in. Essentially ban the Republican party again because they are that toxic.

Correct

And you can just access twitter through a browser page

If it got kicked off the itunes store, though, it is the end of elon’s hopes of getting a billion users all paying 8 bucks a month

I'm beating a dead horse, but gently caress it I never expected to be this god drat spooked by the inside of a car door and yet here we are.

When something so simple and universal as a car door (hand pulls lever pulls cable pulls latch) is overengineered beyond safety, what else did you expect from the actual major safety functions of the overall system?

Engineers: "We're having trouble getting FSD to play nice with the safety limits."

Elon, super genius: "Safety is for people that aren't eXtreme enough."

it's stuff that the car can already do!

i just don't think their autonomous car fatality software had the stuff on, or was overriding etc.

cuz that seemed like some totally unfiltered input
happening erroneously, you'd have to yank the wheel p. fast to get it to do that manually.
such an inexcusably mega bad & deadly spin for a 5,200lb SUV to enter without any warning, on wet, dry or icy road. if there were trees up to the shoulder they would've almost certainly died. i cannot believe these mf are just like "hey um mr musk um... i had a problem... not complaining... just want tge best for ur company" what the gently caress, they need to gimme money

Google removes apps that sneak in malware and stuff don't they? I assume apple would do the same. Unless Apple has better scanning that keeps that stuff out of the store in the first place?

They are litigious as all gently caress, but that describes every telecoms company in existence. You have to fight tooth and nail for that poo poo because when successful you can end up making money for every product your competitor sells.
