I mean, some dude in norway might think "My kid loves tiktok" and go from there. But yeah, human societies do run the gamut when it comes to money.

Yeah, even sane countries laws haven't kept up with the pace of invasion of privacy the internet demands, and either just now starting to realize that maybe myspace isn't a billion dollar idea, and someone with a background should come up with something.

Left-Wing Voices Are Silenced on Twitter as Far-Right Trolls Advise Elon Musk
Elon Musk appears to have outsourced decisions about who to ban from Twitter to the platform’s right-wing extremists, like Andy Ngo.

Oh hey, so the exact thing they were screaming was happening to the right. Of course, it wasn't left wing voices that the algorithm couldn't tell apart from fascist hate speech.
Giving blue checks to notable/influential people on Twitter. Sounds vaguely familiar.
FB friend:
I mean, it's debatable that white Americans "did not grow up under a system of actual legalized formal white privilege."
I remember reading about Apartheid as a kid and being like, Wait, it's Africa, what are white people even doing there in the first place? They don't belong there! Then a few years later it dawned on me what I was implying.

This seems a hoax. If nothing else, the redirect described would be redirecting a hypothetical "netflitwitter.com" to "netflix.com" rather than the other way around.
*edit* This is fixed now, but you'd think their programmers would be smarter than this. (Unless of course it was a Musk demand that had to be rushed into production.)
Nope, I saw articles about it in infosec space yesterday before the fix. What they did was change the display text but not the underlying link. So to demonstrate with broken html, [a href=netflitwtitter.com]netflitwitter.com[/a] becomes [a href=netflitwitter.com]netflix.com[/a]. It's not the first time this sort of bad matching has happened - Russia tried to throttle t.co a while back, as that's twitter redirects, and affected Microsoft.com.
It's just worse here because they only change the display text, and not the underlying link, which is why I suspect it was a Musk demand since it was for appearance only.

*edit* and now I'm hearing they have a 10% staff yearly retention rate these days... that sort of turnover certainly doesn't help either.

X automatically changed 'Twitter' to 'X' in users' posts, breaking legit URLs
A scammer's dream and a disaster waiting to happen.

Elon has ‘gifted’ me a blue tick on Twitter and after I turned it off, he’s removing the ability to do that. https://www.engadget.com/x-wont-let-users-hide-their-blue-checks-anymore-222938703.html
Musk really wants people to think that blue check mark means something still. Shove on a bunch of folks to try to legitimize it, then when they all try to hide or remove it, make it mandatory to display.

I saw the news about the 100% recall of Tesla cybertrucks because of a faulty sticking accelerator pedal. The surprising thing is that 100% of delivered cybertrucks is only 3,878 vehicles. https://www.theverge.com/2024/4/19/24134753/tesla-recall-cybertruck-faulty-accelerator-pedal-nhtsa-defect
Saw a Cybertruck in the wild yesterday for the first time (and by "in the wild" I mean "strapped onto a trailer being hauled away"), and holy crap they're even stupider-looking in person.
I will say I do actually like the aesthetics of the thing(outside of the 'no buttons' garbage he is continuing to push), but I'm weird. The whole Cybertruck fiasco really show that Musk really shouldn't be in charge of anything, though. He's no engineer(despite his claims) and forces design decisions that make no real sense, such as the removal of lidar sensors from new models of his cars while simultaneously pushing his 'full self driving' feature.
I can’t see a picture of a Cybertruck and not think of the driving section the Robocop 3 game.
