matrixman124 Posted September 22, 2023 Share Posted September 22, 2023 So Twitter is updating its Terms of Service next week. Take a look at this. It indicates they can use all of our Twitter content (this seems to also include DMs) as content for sale and for AI training. š¬ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Icarus27k Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 (edited) Twitter (X or whatever) is the worst I've ever seen it right now. The new war in Israel-Palestine broke it. There's a TON of fake information about the event being thrown at you. Amateur "news" accounts just making stuff up. Randos sharing years-old videos and saying it's from the current war. And respectable accounts getting fooled by it and spreading it.Ā Now would be the time to ditch that website if you haven't done so already. I would advise not believing ANYTHING you read on it. You may think it's from an official source, but that doesn't mean it's real.Ā Edited October 9, 2023 by Icarus27k 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1pooh4u Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 People are going to pay the dollar and then within a few months it will be $4.99 and people will pay that too. The solution was simple. Donāt use Twitter. There are now other options, but for whatever reason those options arenāt good enough. Popular accounts with many thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of followers (yes millions too) are the most guilty, and that doesnāt make sense to me cuz they can go anywhere. Their followers will go wherever they go. I donāt get why anyone is putting up with Muskās bullshit. At this point I gotta think itās cuz they like it.Ā 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
