Another female CEO that's been rumored is former Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer (who was CEO at Yahoo back when they bought Tumblr) edit: while that would be funny, seems like the gal the thread is talking about is more likely

Twitter is telling researchers to pay $42,000 or delete all the data they've collected. A provision that allows twitter to require them to delete the data was in the contacts they signed but presumably they thought it was not to just extort them later. This is going to gently caress up a lot of research and grad programs.

I'll note here the decahose was always of limited utility because it was deliberately not predictably representative, and incomplete for the purpose of all net modeling. Prior to its current trashfire ownership, Twitter already had a strong incentive to obscure how it operated and what its effects were (because they were bad), and they were more sophisticated in presenting the illusion of access.

Anecdotal, but all of my friends who are/were huge Musk fanboys have completely shut up about him over the last several months. So there's a silver lining for me, personally, to all of this.

Fortunately Twitters archive request feature works great, I was able to use it without issue before deleting my account. You can have it just send you a massive dump of every tweet, image, etc., so it's definitely possible to preserve that info.

The place is the equivalent of a nuclear dumping ground where no cleanup attempt can make it habitable. If the most liberal, progressive person on earth bought it and instituted strict moderation it would still take over a year before it would be usable again.

Yeah same, just permanently damaged the Twitter "brand" or whatever to me for how much shittier it got and how fast it got there after Musk bought it. I don't think anything could ever make me look at or share a tweet again or register an account with it again. Even the archive I got of my stuff, once I get around to getting any useful images/any cool info I ever posted out of it I'll probably delete that too.

An IP block, followed by Musk publicly accusing you of stealing Twitter's data and then threatening to sue you. 10% of tweets is a lot of loving tweets. Even with the slimmed down dev team, they should have no issue detecting that.

I'm hearing that the geniuses at Twitter HQ have implemented some code that's meant to track and ban people's alternate accounts(?), but it is now just indiscriminately banning tons and tons of people for "evading suspension" despite them never having been suspended.. or for no reason at all  https://twitter.com/inkblot_art/status/1662652018765500416?s=20

The DSA isn’t just about disinformation; it’s a massive law that transforms huge aspects of every major internet website’s operations. You have to offer ways for users to appeal your content moderation decisions. You have to set up specific channels for governments to send you legal notices. You have to publish a gigantic transparency report about all your content moderation activities. No one in the industry thought Twitter would be ready for it; the question was always do they eat a massive fine and set precedent for everyone else, or do they suck it up and hire back all the people they fired who were doing the compliance stuff. I didn’t think they’d actually choose the third option of leaving Europe. Hard to be the world’s town square when you’re, well, not all over the world.

For the first day of Pride month, Matt Walsh thought he could be extra cruel and stream his transphobic documentary "What Is A Woman?" on Twitter, only to find that it was flagged for hate speech. Supposedly, there was a behind the scenes deal between Twitter and the Daily Wire to do this, but it looks like it got pulled regardless. Naturally, all the chuds went apeshit...     When confronted, fresh off of his recent scandal where he censored speech critical to Turkish premier Erdogan, the self-proclaimed "free speech absolutist" Musk scrambled to play both sides.  In maybe a coincidence, but perhaps not, Ella Irwin, the head of Trust and Safety at Twitter, resigned at the end of the day. For now, "What Is A Woman?" is currently blocked. Walsh made an attempt to stream it in a Twitter Spaces but it got shut down very quickly. Elon says Twitter is trying to fix the algorithmic censorship, but with some caveats, which means he's trying to moderate the message for advertisers.  Edit: Apparently this ruined their big premiere party...

It's strange. It is not like Twitter ran their own translation department, so it was probably another external service they were being invoiced for, which the new management decided not to pay. I would have to wonder how long it was that Twitter was stiffing them on it, given it lasted this long. ... but at the same point, when they published the algorithm's source code, the language of a given post was a key point of categorization. That implies language detection is part of the process, which likely requires some same part of the translation toolkit, which might not have happened in-house. I'm just wondering what else might be broken now. A lot of things, obviously, but I'm just anticipating the knock-on-effects which Musk is obviously blind to.
