Someone just mentioned the differences between #Twitter and #Google regarding user data. Yes, indeed.

I've worked inside #Google twice. Their explicit rules, approvals, logging and "need to know" requirements for access to user data are most impressive. Anyone even attempting to access user data inappropriately is fired and marched out the door by security. This is part of why I have a great deal of trust in Google, and consider Elon's #Twitter to be utterly untrustworthy and totally beneath contempt.

What's to stop Google from going all Twitter on us?

@PoeticLicenseDK Well, first off, the way the company is organized it would be very difficult for a fiend like Musk to do a hostile takeover. That's a big help.

Makes me wonder what went so wrong with the #DirtyBird site that allowed one person to commandeer the plane and fly ot into the side of a mountain.

@PoeticLicenseDK @lauren it was financially vulnerable to takeover. The people in charge of it would seem to have been looking to deal themselves out of that hole. Whatever issues there are with google, they’re not in that situation.
