Imagining Elon Musk on his private jet rummaging through the DMs of various celebrities with a smug rear end grin on his face...

He’s probably just name-searching, and getting confused when “felon” keeps getting picked up.

AFAIK they were never banned? At most I think they were in the naughty corner with Jordan Peterson being locked out until they deleted one rule-breaking tweet, and refusing to do so on principle

Yeah they were never banned, they got some tiny suspensions once in a while and everyone had been suspecting Twitter gave them preferential treatment. The twitter files 2 pretty much confirms that

That tracks with @jack and his "pure heart" (according to Elmo). Threaten children's hospitals because of trans panic? Go sit in the corner for five minutes and think about what you've done.

The Hunter dick pics "story" was funny in how pathetic it was but this one should trigger a number of lawsuits at the very least. And should convince everyone to delete their accounts ASAP.

Too late to delete your account, I would bet a lot of money that even if archiving the whole data trove isn't the first thing Musk did, his FSB handler (known or unknown) will have done it

Yeah, just the basic adguard app, the free one breaks 99% of Google Chrome ads for me on Android because it black holes stuff like that. Its why I use the website version of twitter.

Yah it was funny when GDPR was coming into effect and even loving Facebook at the height of their arrogance was scrupulously (appearing to) toe the line.

To just be so ridiculously blatant about not giving a gently caress is gonna get you directly in their crosshairs.

I had to fill in a bunch of forms and talk with our head of legal after I noticed we'd published a document early with someone's details on it when they should have still been able to withdraw permission and avoid the publication.

That was me noticing we'd done it, not being the person who did it.

Yes, this is definitely going so well for him thus far, he's obviously showing up the doomsayers with checks notes a heavily unprofitable business he overpaid for by tens of billions while the rest of his empire slowly slides into the ocean while incurring potentially huge legal liabilities.

Yep. On a previous research project we did some VERY MINOR personal data collection, which basically meant a long meeting with the university's legal team, then weekly check ins with them to make absolutely loving sure we weren't mishandling anything, because a gently caress up would have potentially had disastrous results for the entire god drat school.

E: and with GDPR violations "we did it by accident" isn't a defence, but "we intentionally did it, for internet clout" sure as gently caress is a aggravating factor.
