Look how bad she’s getting dragged in the comments. That’s going to be replaced with sycophant bots.

Places like r/nba and r/nfl have a lot of top posts that are tweets.

Imagine removing a fairly quick and fairly easy way to authentic tweets when browsing. That would be crazy. I can’t believe any person spent more than two minutes on this ridiculous idea.

Elon says he has to personally approve anyone who wants to work from home.

This is the sort of thing a savvy CEO might announce before firing half the company, so that at least some people choose to go.

The real problem isn’t people impersonating Joe Biden in obviously fake ways so much as it is people pretending to be minor news outlets or officials. For $8 you can make it seem like you are a legit local news outlet and it may not be immediately obvious to people that it’s fake.

Wonder who is going to pick up the ball and create a competitor

Yeah and they’ll even verify you (so you get the different tag) if you can show them an apple ID and CC that you’re that person - which is easy to fake.

All the time FB’s spent on lame Snapchat, TikTok and Youtube clones, and they couldn’t have a Twitter clone ready?

Do we know anything about the previous verification process? If I had to guess it was probably pretty labor intensive (and therefore a “cost”) and annoying.

I didn’t, but only because I wasn’t drinking water at the moment I read it.
