Twitter suspension of the DC transit system account may well have been an unintended goof, or a software issue, but it's one more reason to stress how important it is for public agencies not to rely on the Musk-controlled, highly centralized system.

Journalists (And Others) Should Leave Twitter. Here’s How They Can Get Started

at this point, signing up for pretty much anything "digital" or "smart" that doesn't have to be digital or smart to perform its basic function is just asking to be surveilled by someone https://www.vice.com/en/article/wxn9vx/researchers-track-reviver-digital-license-plate-gps-location
Researchers Could Track the GPS Location of All of California’s New Digital License Plates

After gaining access to a powerful administrative account, the researchers could perform all sorts of tasks inside Reviver, the sole company that sells the digital plates in California.
