What the screenshots show

Screenshots show tweets that appear to date back to 2011 and 2012. Many lines describe sexual acts and mention disease terms plainly.

Some users said the material seemed to sexualise minors and animals. Others urged caution while researchers and commentators weighed the posts.

ValidUpdates tracked BLord Instagram page deactivation and similar profile breaks in recent weeks. That coverage shows how fast profile gaps and deactivations fuel online debate.

Paystack had not posted an official comment by midday on Friday. Company spokespeople had also not responded to messages seeking clear comment.

Olubi has been a visible figure in Nigeria’s tech scene for years. His public style and posts have often driven online conversation previously.

Some users called for Paystack to explain the posts and actions. Others urged caution and legal limits before drawing firm conclusions.

A quotation from Stanley Kubrick

HAL 9000: Just what do you think you’re doing, Dave? Dave, I really think I’m entitled to an answer to that question. I know everything hasn’t been quite right with me, but I can assure you now, very confidently, that it’s going to be all right again. I feel much better now. I really do.
   Look, Dave, I can see you’re really upset about this. I honestly think you ought to sit down calmly, take a stress pill and think things over. I know I’ve made some very poor decisions recently, but I can give you my complete assurance that my work will be back to normal. I’ve still got the greatest enthusiasm and confidence in the mission. And I want to help you.
   Dave, stop. Stop, will you? Stop, Dave. Will you stop, Dave? Stop, Dave. I’m afraid. I’m afraid, Dave. Dave, my mind is going. I can feel it. I can feel it. My mind is going. There is no question about it. I can feel it. I can feel it. I can feel it. I’m a--fraid.
   Good afternoon, gentlemen. I am a HAL 9000 computer. I became operational at the H.A.L. plant in Urbana, Illinois on the 12th of January 1992. My instructor was Mr. Langley, and he taught me to sing a song. If you’d like to hear it, I could sing it for you.

Why do people think there's something wrong whenever you deactivate a social media account? And then choose not to believe what you tell them either? 🤦‍♂️

Need to normalise people deactivating their accounts...

#deactivation #Facebook #messenger

The #Starlink #satellite internet service… has been a digital lifeline in #Ukraine …for #civilians & #soldiers in areas where digital #infrastructure has been wiped out.
…an excerpt from Isaacson’s upcoming biography “Elon Musk,” …said the billionaire ordered the #deactivation of #Starlink #satellite near #Crimea’s coast last Sept to thwart the Ukrainian attack. …that #Musk had conversations w/a *Russian* ofcl that led him to worry that an attack on #Crimea could spiral into a #nuclear conflict.

I tried it on my test device. It worked!

After #deactivation you get a warning about 2FA 🤷‍♂️

Huh. Es ist getan. Fühlt sich irgendwie komisch an, aber die Toxizität hat mich zuletzt auch einfach in den Wahnsinn getrieben. Ist Zeit für eine neue Ära. #deactivation #birdsite
