Steve Herman"The owner of the @x Twitter handle confirmed that the company, now known as X, took over his account without warning or financial compensation, telling him the handle is a property of X." https://techcrunch.com/2023/07/26/twitter-now-x-took-over-the-x-handle-without-warning-or-compensating-its-owner/
This is, um, curious. Only one of my auto cross-posts from Mastodon to the platform formally known as Twitter didn't show up on the latter today (attached). I wonder why.
Voron@w7voa So basically it’s non-governmental censorship of news & information by a billionaire who has lots of foreign entanglements

Rod Hilton@w7voa Have other cross-posts you made that tagged people via @'ing them showed up?
For a long time this was not supported via posts made via the API, alternatively sometimes it would work but just show text rather than tagging the account. Depending on how the API call is configured, the warning about tagging an account in the text may be interpreted as an error.
I'd try tagging someone else in another Masto post and seeing if the same thing happens.

Bruno Philipe@w7voa people are claiming “censorship” but I’d bet their stuff is just broken =P
Bytebro 🇬🇧 🇺🇦 🇬🇱@w7voa That's a court case right there, surely?
Peter Butler@w7voa He should have asked for this account instead
Shirley Marsh@w7voa Free Speech Guy so free!

Give Musk a break. He could have hired someone to break down his door and kidnap him but he didn’t, so

Wow. You would have thought that a well-run company would have settled that before announcing the changeover.

@w7voa The problem is not X or Musk, the problem are #journalists thinking #Twitter was the most important medium and users from all over the world using Twitter/X to reach journalists and get into the media.
I read whining articles on German newspapers stating that paying for Twitter was "mandatory for the job"...
