I wish sites would stop requiring phone numbers. Data breaches like this aren't going to stop. Let's atleast try to limit how much information is made public by not collecting it in the first place. #security

“I’m selling data of 400M Twitter users that was scraped via a vulnerability” | Hacker News

Very honored to be what a surprisingly large number of commenters are calling "the first time I've seen a mastodon screenshot posted somewhere else"

He talked about electric cars. I don't know anything about cars, so when people said he was a genius I figured he must be a genius.

Then he talked about rockets. I don't know anything about rockets, so when people said he was a genius I figured he must be a genius.

Now he talks about software. I happen to know a lot about software & Elon Musk is saying the stupidest shit I've ever heard anyone say, so when people say he's a genius I figure I should stay the hell away from his cars and rockets.

This is downright scandalous. Significantly more damning than anything in the Twitter files. More overt abuse of access to users' data from a tech company than anything I can think of in recent memory.

TikTok admits tracking FT journalist in leaks investigation

Chinese parent ByteDance says its employees accessed user data to find sources of information to reporters

Been five days since Twitter suspended a bunch of journalists, including me, for tweeting out factual reporting. And we're still suspended.

CNN's @donieosullivan, NYT's Ryan Mac and I can't access Twitter until we delete specific tweets that they said included "private information" but were actually just reporting.

Journalists Linette Lopez and Susan Li, who also covered Musk, are still suspended. No explanation given.
