My avatar was a scientific result that was later found to be 'mistaken' - I rarely claim to be 100% correct
ETA 5/8/20: I've been advised that the result was correct, it was the initial interpretation that needed to be withdrawn
Meta? I'd say so!

Just use mine, it'll be replaced soon enough anyway
Have you considered stupidity as an explanation
Re: tw.tter
I'll have a route in soon enough - so if someone else is looking for one...

Just been on Xitter. Was reading a Democracy Docket tweet about gerrymandering and about three replies down it was all photos of improbably proportioned young women. I mean, it’s a pretty dry subject to start bombarding with escort ads or whatever they were.

Phishing scams, blackmail gathering attempts and attempts to set up advance fee fraud is mostly what they are.

Particularly when coupled with NPR's experiment of stopping Twitter promotion, which has had miniscule effect:

Yaxley-Lennon and Hopkins reinstated, because hate speech is the new small talk.

As Wilde said, there's only one thing worse than being talked about and that's being talked about by Katie Hopkins.

https://ec.europa.eu/commission/pressco ... IP_23_6709The European Commission has opened formal proceedings to assess whether X may have breached the Digital Services Act (DSA) in areas linked to risk management, content moderation, dark patterns, advertising transparency and data access for researchers.
Much more at the link.

https://www.axios.com/2023/12/31/elon-m ... uation-cutFidelity has again marked down the value of its shares in X Holdings, which the mutual fund giant helped Elon Musk buy for $44 billion when the company was known as Twitter.
By the numbers: Fidelity believes that X is worth 71.5% less than at the time of purchase, according to a new disclosure that runs through the end of November 2023 (Fidelity revalues private shares on a one-month lag).
This includes a 10.7% cut during November, during which time Musk told boycotting X advertisers to "go f**k yourself" during an on-stage interview with the New York Times.
In terms of publicly traded comps, Meta stock rose 4.9% in November while Snap shares climbed 38.2%.

Re: tw.tter
There's been a correspondence in the Economist criticising their repeated use of the phrase "X formerly known as Twitter". The first letter, paraphrased, roughly went "Grow up." A follow-up calculated how many pointless words they had printed, by failing to use a one word name, but did not say which one-word name that correspondent preferred. Another preferred "X which everyone except its narcissistic owner calls Twitter".
The BBC still calls it "X formerly known as Twitter".
Despite haemorrhaging users, Xwitter still has 1000 times more than Truth Social. Xwitter has lost a lot of money for Musk, but unfortunately, despite its dire business position - costs 10 times income in a recent SEC filing - Truth Social could well make a lot of money for Trump, according to the analysis in this LegalEagle analysis (youtube 20 mins), which also exposes a remarkable amount of legal shenanigans. (This one is presented by Liz Dye who is actually rather better than the usual LE presenter.)
