Twitter is getting scammed by phone companies for $60M/year of fake 2FA SMS messages
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) February 18, 2023
Use of free authentication apps for 2FA will remain free and are much more secure than SMS https://t.co/pFMdxWPlai

lol facebook is going to charge people $12 a month for the verification mark or whatever.I feel like Facebook can justify charging more than Twitter, they have more to offer businesses. I have a page for my business and what they offer for free is great. If they can add some perks along with the verification badge they can make it an attractive offer. Twitter has a long way to go to make the $8 sub attractive.
Is twitter actually making money off this, or is it just one stupid company following another?
Hi Elon!
— Halli (@iamharaldur) March 7, 2023
The reason I asked you in public is because you (or anyone else at Twitter) didn't reply to my private messages.
You had every right to lay me off. But it would have been nice to let me know!
As for my disability I wrote you about that here: https://t.co/E4MDQUvgVo
I would like to apologize to Halli for my misunderstanding of his situation. It was based on things I was told that were untrue or, in some cases, true, but not meaningful.

He is considering remaining at Twitter.
Unfortunately the BBC is almost as bad a American mainstream media. This is just a buzzword filled article riddled with bs *sigh*This whole thing has been embarrassing for Musk honestly. Belittling his disability and speaking without knowing anything about his situation apparently. His only option was to apologise honestly.
On the other hand, Elon did provide us with a wtf moment. An employee confronted Elon if he had been fired or not and Elon responded and led to exchanges like thisHi Elon!

Maybe better to be dealt with in private but also great to see this play out because we got to see both sides, Elon eventually talking to the guy, working out he was in the wrong and owning up to his mistake.I would like to apologize to Halli for my misunderstanding of his situation. It was based on things I was told that were untrue or, in some cases, true, but not meaningful.

His only option was to apologise honestly.Definitely embarrassing but I don't think he intentionally belittled his disability but there was definitely a lack of understanding.
BTW this Hal guy is Icelandic and extremely well liked here for helping with various things with his money.
musk is an american conservative. not getting the facts before making an opinion is pretty much the standard these days. did you guys see that interview with newt gingrich where he says opinions are the same thing as facts because if the people believe it is true then it is true?He's never voted Conservative and he made it clear he doesn't vote playing favourites. And you've had plenty of opinions about Elon without getting the facts, so...
press@twitter.com now auto responds with ????
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) March 19, 2023
Some preliminary testing indicates that Twitter is deboosting tweets containing certain words, including preventing them being shown as previews in DMs.
— Trans Safety Network (@trans_safety) April 1, 2023
Current suspected words include (without letters not punctuation):
- Tr@ns
- G@y
- Lesbi@n
- Qu££r
- Bisexu@l
Try yourself.
We can also confirm that, whilst any reference to s£x triggers this filter, the word "faggot" does not ????
— Trans Safety Network (@trans_safety) April 1, 2023
Heterosexual is also fine, but homos£xual is not!
— Trans Safety Network (@trans_safety) April 1, 2023
Our current thinking is - because of how other partially filtered words which keep "s£x" intact interact - is that anything containing "s£x" is banned, but explicit exemptions have been made.
Not including qu££r s£xualities.
IMPORTANT UPDATE:
— Trans Safety Network (@trans_safety) April 1, 2023
We have just found that the filter blocked the initialism G.C. (without punctuation marks) - short for "gender critical" is also blocked. The full phrase and the acronym TERF are not.

Can you confirm why word's like 'Trans', 'BLM', & 'LGBT' are censored by Twitter, yet highly offensive slurs like 'trans-identified male' are not?
Thank you https://t.co/bW49Ob7T2M
