A particularly catastrophic day at Twitter. The people reassuring advertisers yesterday that everything was fine quit, along with the heads of trust and safety, ad sales and most importantly the three people who were responsible for filing a document to the FTC detailing their protections in place for user data. Those three were the heads of information security, compliance and privacy. When they leave like that you know it’s bad. Law-breaking, privacy violating, insecure bad.
@tomcoates have you deactivated over there yet?
@mediajunkie no. I’m going to stick around in some capacity. Part of this is about not being prepared to give up the audience. Part of it is that it’s just the best place to communicate how terribly Musk is doing. Feels like we shouldn’t cede territory to bigots and morons if we can avoid it. Doesn’t mean we shouldn’t spread ourselves out a bit though
@tomcoates same same for me now but i want to be careful how the data is about to get abused & and the int’l infosec environment
