Twitter is a bin fire

"The Verge reached out to Musk for comment. Twitter no longer has a communications department"

Twitter lawyer warns that Elon Musk is putting company at risk of billions in FTC fines

Twitter’s chief privacy officer, chief compliance officer, and chief information security officer have all stepped down.

The Verge

I guess I should say, "if the boss tells you to break laws that can get YOU, personally, fined astronomical sums & also kill people."

Firing the security team means he's pushing personal, legal responsibility for FTC violations onto software devs who aren't trained in law. 🫠

Don't be confused about The Indian Child Welfare Act. ICWA isn't affirmative action. Native people are citizens of sovereign nations and in this case an oil company lawyer is challenging our Nations jurisdiction over their own minor citizens.

I just saw Stephen Fry cross my federated timeline, so I want to take a moment to remind people that despite being such a delightful man in most things, he has a long history of transphobia that he has never addressed or apologized for.

This includes expressed support for J.K. Rowling.

POC: Mastodon is filled with racism!!

White People: Nuh UH!!! It was welcoming to ME!!

FFS listen to yourselves.

Read Musk's 2:30 a.m. email to Twitter staff about end of remote work

Musk sent Twitter staff an email for the first time, putting an end to remote work and saying, "The road ahead is arduous."

Elon is so mad at me, I suggest you watch Jimmy Kimmel tonight. What could the connection possibly be? 😂😈

Hey fellow white people

If you're going to tone-police POC for talking about their own damn lives, have the courtesy to CW your remarks. "Privileged-ass mouthing off" would be appropriate, for example.

Ok fine. I have tried to hold my tongue, but there is a line, and when Mastodon folks threaten BIPOC people with getting blocked for not Content Warning when they talk about racism… I need to get real with y’all. 🧵
