ymgve posted:so, I know DMs on twitter arent encrypted or anything, but does the admin control panel literally have a button on the left to access any user's private messages with a single click? I have never worked at Twitter and I have never seen that control panel before, but I can make some informed guesses. First, that button might take you straight to their DMs in plaintext. But it also might not - it may show you metadata about the DMs, it may show only DMs which have been reported as spam or abuse, etc. Regardless, access will be logged and audited, and any employee who can load the control panel will have agreed (likely in writing) that access is to be used strictly for predefined use cases like anti abuse. Furthermore, just because the button appears on the page doesn't mean the employee can load whatever it leads to. Remember, these are internal tools - they don't need to be as "pretty" as the user facing page. It may show every button by default, but in reality each employee will only have access to the subset of tools necessary for their specific role. This absolutely does not mean employee abuse of the tool is impossible! That's not what I am saying at all. What I am saying is there's probably more insider risk controls in place than is readily apparent from the screenshot. As for the "guano" button, that may simply be the name of a project or tool, or a dumb joke that ended up becoming the tool's common name. Those kind of oddball names are common when a company makes its own tools.

That screenshot is going to make a lot of people’s aunts who go on Twitter for the knitting groups and bus times go “oh no” and leave. Causal non-nerd users don’t think about people they don’t know, and can’t see, being able to access DMs.

lmao that they fell for the anti-piracy tactic of putting watermarks on review and testing builds for games so that any leakers get blacklisted from the industry. I mean, it's not funny that some right-wing journalists(citation needed) apparently have complete access to countless users' data and I genuinely cannot understand why almost none of my old friends have left Twitter despite knowing that its owner and moderators openly side with the people who falsely call our community pedophiles to justify genociding us. but lmao edit bc I changed thoughts midway through a sentence MiracleFlare fucked around with this message at 10:54 on Dec 9, 2022 |

This whole Twitter saga is making me think of all the times I've seen minorities ardently defend unregulated and unmoderated platforms because they are worried about governmental repression. Which is totally fair but drat if our current online hellscape isn't a result of that philosophy - and Elon loving around on Twitter is just increasing the chance that the EU (and eventually US) will implement harsher curbs on free speech. There is literally no self-policing, Twitter, Facebook, Tik-Tok and friends will keep pushing hateful poo poo if it makes them a buck and eventually we'll reach the straw the breaks the camel's back.

Not sure if this has been posted, paywalled article from the Economist by one of the first engineers to be fired:quote:One Tuesday afternoon in early November, I was on a Google Meet with a dozen other engineers. Some of us had worked through the weekend trying to help out a colleague who’d been given an insanely tight deadline to transform Twitter’s verification process: Elon Musk had just announced that he wanted to make the coveted blue tick available to anyone willing to pay for a premium service.

ilmucche posted:Isn't the whole point of not allowing explicit threats and statements of violence that even if it's ironic or joking that if it's constantly seen it can bend someone's brain and they actually try? People were dunking on this post, but this is a serious issue. I've been browsing these forums for years, and I've developed a severe form of OCD where I obsessively build guillotines, all day long. I've long since filled my garage with them, and now they're stacked around the house. Guillotines under my bed, guillotines in the kitchen cupboards, there's a guillotine in my shower. I don't know if I'll be able to control myself if I ever run into a billionaire.

ShadowHawk posted:Meanwhile, Amazon, Uber ads appear on Twitter pages of white nationalists restored by Musk Just as a historical note, I happen to have this image saved in an ancient folder of lols from the 90s/2000s: This is the sort of thing that keeps companies up at night worried that someone will screenshot it, it'll go viral, and their brand will be a laughingstock forever if not the target of bottomless lawsuits by aggrieved parties. In Iomega's case it was probably well justified, after all I still have that image 20-some years later. But what I'm wondering is whether this kind of explosivity even rates anymore. Companies are justifiably paranoid about ad placement to the extent that ad platforms have whole brand-safety tools and teams in place like the one I've talked about working on, leaping into action as soon as a news article about a terrorist attack pops up that they want to prevent any ads from appearing on or whatever. But in this day and age are we all so desensitized by the pervasive shittiness of the Internet of 2022 that nobody would even bat an eye anymore? Maybe all these brands are going to weather the screenshots of white nationalist tweets with their brand logos and slogans plastered all over them just fine and Elon will prove to have been right to not care

I guess there have been some campaigns getting advertisers to abandon fox’s shows like tucker, but beyond that? And the more paranoid part of me says things like: We can consider ourselves lucky that at this present time, Capital sees its bread buttered on the "woke" side, not to put too fine a point on it. Brands going rainbow in June, movie studios doing representation, Nike and Gillette taking stands, all that stuff that makes chuds furious at companies' stubborn refusal to recognize that going woke means going broke. We can usually rest in relative comfort knowing that no company will willingly align itself with exclusionary or fascist rhetoric in today's marketplace of ideas. But that's not a historical guarantee. There's a tipping point somewhere where companies might realize that there aren't existential consequences for letting their brands be associated with Nazis. If that happens, if they let their ads run free on Twitter and suffer no blowback ... it'll be like that bit in The Boys where Homelander loses his poo poo and lasers the protester into a flaming stump, and for a second thinks he's just sealed his own death warrant — but then the crowd erupts in cheers and support and he realizes he should have just been all-in on out-loud fascism all along. We might roll our eyes at brand safety, but as goes brand safety, so goes a free society

Elon likes to claim every action of his companies as his own. It follows that the company should never make a decision that the CEO would not make themselves. Anything else would be a sign of mental disorder.

Only Musk would think that it's proper for a CEO to be involved in literally every single decision a company might make. "Jack was not consulted about the lunch menu, clearly the asylum was being run by the inmates."

Also companies aren't asylums or prisons. At least not until Elon buys them. You typically want your employees doing things without strict CEO oversight.
