The policy that I allegedly retroactively violated by promoting my Instagram and Mastodon account, has now been deleted from Twitter’s website.

@taylorlorenz Policy of moving goalposts, it seems.
@taylorlorenz
Nice to see that the bird site is a well-oiled machine of professionalism. 🤣
@taylorlorenz yet I still can't change my bio because it has a link to my mastodon profile in it. 😂
@timshey @taylorlorenz so it is permalink to mastodon, great success
@taylorlorenz not before he banned @paulg and his ex wife grimes! LOL

@taylorlorenz

Someone indicated such a ban would violate EU regulations.

@ThisMinuteMatters @taylorlorenz that rule comes in effect in may. Until then for germans german law has ways to counter this.
@ThisMinuteMatters @taylorlorenz
Yup. And can be fined with 1/5 of the Twitter value

@taylorlorenz let that be a lesson. The only thing that belongs in a free market economy?

Is a monopoly.

@flexghost @taylorlorenz
Like, *MY* Monopoly board, or those assholes over on Baltic Avenue?
@taylorlorenz Twitter can’t stop embarrassing themselves
@taylorlorenz
I suspect this has to do with the EU, but who knows? I don't think anyone knows what's going on with Twitter at this point, least of all Elon.
@taylorlorenz Someone must have realized it violated a ton of laws in Europe and other countries.
@taylorlorenz Sorry to be a downer but there's every chance you're allegedly violating tomorrow's Twitter policy even as we speak. ;-)
@taylorlorenz I know this will shock you, but I also had those things in my bio and somehow I wasn't booted from twitter. I'm sure there's nothing alarming about that.
@Anivair @taylorlorenz I did as well and found I wasn’t able to edit my profile, presumably because of the offending URLs
@tsupasat @Anivair @taylorlorenz
Same. Also, try to tweet a link to Mastodon.
@taylorlorenz The policy might be removed, but mastodon links are still banned.
@orcinus Use @ orcinus @ infosec.exchange instead (no spaces).
@citytechie i did, immediately, but that’s not the point :)
@orcinus @taylorlorenz still can't put mastodon links in posts either. Facebook yes. Indieweb.social no.
@taylorlorenz The impending action (and related humongous fines) from the EU may have something to do with that.
@taylorlorenz you can’t make this shit up.

@taylorlorenz

I'm guessing this is also how overnight Tesla FSD updates go once a few cars crash into garage walls the next morning?

@taylorlorenz I'm hesitating on boosting any more updates about #Twitter at this point as I expect they will be outdated by the time others read them, hours or minutes later

@funcrunch @taylorlorenz

#Mastodon and others made Elon realize he is Captain of a sinking ship! Every decision he makes 2 days later he flip flops after taking heat he conducts a "poll" to give cover for what ever change or backtrack is next... #ByeByeTwitter

@taylorlorenz like what the heck, dude literally at Qatar for the world cup finals when this was all going down
@taylorlorenz the amount of flailing there could probably power a tesla
@taylorlorenz so glad to still be able to see ur stuff. do u know if hasan piker is coming to mastodon? im honestly surprised he hasnt already been banned from twitter
@taylorlorenz Twitter: Remember that new policy? No you don't!
@taylorlorenz
It made me join Mastodon anyhow 😝
@taylorlorenz He really knows what he is doing. Genius!
@taylorlorenz It's a dumpster fire over there on the birb site.
@taylorlorenz with today’s shit show about links to other social media, at the same time as the world cup, I bet that tomorrow he’ll be like :
« look how much twitter is active right now!🔥»
@taylorlorenz WTF?? Anyway, it's much better over here. 🙌

@taylorlorenz Just think: some idiot lackey had to transcribe Musk’s petty wishes into “policy” this morning, posted without a second thought. Centered on what Musk feels and needs, not what might happen.

It’s like if ChatGPT were told to run Twitter like a paranoid fascist

@taylorlorenz just the normal hell site circus 🎪 if a mad clown 🤡 run a business 🤪🤪🤪
@taylorlorenz they are The Gang That Can't Think Well.
@taylorlorenz Oceania was now at war with Eastasia. Oceania had always been at war with Eastasia….
@taylorlorenz
"We apologise again for the fault in the [policy figleaf]. Those responsible for sacking the people who have just been sacked have been sacked."
@taylorlorenz Behind-the-scenes look at a Twitter management meeting:
@taylorlorenz I'd say this is Kafkaesque, but Kafka would've written this story to be more believable.
@taylorlorenz Man, if this doesn't inspire confidence in that platform what will? 😂
@taylorlorenz The guy makes up policies based on how he feels at that moment.
