Fuckers. Ugh. I wonder if I can convince my employer to toss them. I don’t personally use them for anything (at work or on my own). But I’d like to do what I can to get them off our list.

Thank you for sharing. ✊🏻

@markwyner

yeah I'm disgusted! This is why all my life I've disliked our government allowing the US government and businesses to weave their toxic spider web throughout every aspect of our country.
We are unofficially the 51 state and though I have issues with Carney, I'm hoping he starts detangling us from the US.
I hope you are able to convince your boss to stop but if not, remember that's no reflection on you, only them.

You're welcome✊

@SnowyCA @tod not surprised. When the bumped the paid prices up long before the Twitter API thing they wanted over $100CAD a month. So greedy and out of touch, so going with facism not surprising now
@Lady_Noremon @tod
I wasn't aware of their pricing, thanks. : )

@SnowyCA @tod

Musk evidentally sold the SS and income tax data he stole to anyone from any country willing to pay. Where else are they getting it?

@oldoldcojote @tod
Pardon?
Did you read all the links because I if I understand your comment, one explains it.
