Sometimes I have to wonder, what’s it going to take to make people leave X?
I mean, it was a shithole even before Musk bought it, 4 years ago, and it’s gotten predictably and steadily worse ever since.
It’s not just twitter, this software is also used by airbnb, linkedin, and paypal.
Now I have to remove LinkedIn - this a good reason! It over reduces my cyber footprint overall. I only have it bc it’s required for a places that I’ve applied about 60-70%.
They did me the favor of removing my account when they asked for my ID “to protect my identity”.
Sound phake! I’m over skeptical of the new real id thing overall so I won’t be bothering with it until the last moment.
4 years?! Is this purgatory?
Sometimes I wonder what it will take to get people using the web less.
Getting them addicted to something more addictive, like meth.
No way, an Israeli company founded by Israeli spies is spying on people who speak out against Israeli crimes.

My bad, social media reflexes are hard to break :)
You can’t make this stuff up.
A service requiring users to upload verifiable identification info, created and staffed by literal government spooks. And – what?!? – they’re using said data inappropriately?
On topic, but a side note…this is how come my trust in privacyguides.com tanked a few weeks ago. They fully support X and actually recommend using it. It’s a bunch of sloppy children running that site.
Can you link the privacyguides article? I used to rely on them quite a bit, so this would be disappointing to me. The only recommendations i found for social media are mastodon and element https://www.privacyguides.org/en/social-networks/#posting-content
It’s not an official recommendation from them. They post a lot about how there is nothing wrong with X on their forum.
Yeah, I’m pressing X to doubt on this one because the website still only recommends Mastodon and Element, and the page literally talks about why federation and decentralized social media is vital to privacy and anti-censorship. They even have people in the forums talking about twitter frontends so you don’t have to actually go to the site. They even purposely try to avoid promoting their accounts on centralized media, the footer of every page only shows Mastodon, Matrix, Peertube, and Bluesky.
It’s privacyguides.ORG btw. Are you thinking of privacytools.io?
I’m talking about the site I wrote about but had the .com wrong. I was an active member there, and had it out with Jonah about X
Why is it always Israel? You would think that this would be done somewhere in the US or UK, but no.
Israel shares all their spyware data with the US and UK. Basically they let Israel do all the illegal stuff as a legal (actually illegal but they don’t care) loophole.
I have yet to read this book, but The Palestine Laboratory is supposed to outline how a lot of the surveillance and weaponry used today are first developed and tested in Israel to aid the occupation, then exported to other countries.
Right and also many western police/military receive training from (former) IDF soldiers. Seems like Israel is the blueprint for the future of our countries.
Not part of 5 eyes?
Real people are still on X? I thought it was mainly bots and twats now
They call me John but I go by Chang I guess.
The Israeli government is a terrorist state.
Fuck Israel.
That is a scary organization to exists.
These people do know that is X is Elon Musk’s personal child porn/shit posting/data scraping website right?
Why not pay and give your docs to Encyclopedia Dramatica too?
