Whats that got to do with anything?
Let me guess it's going to turn out some of the "useless" staff and "excess processes" were probably related to maintaining the the older parts of the DB and keeping the "long storage"* content viable, and it's likely that one of the DC's he decided to downsize was key to it.
I'm not saying it couldn't have happened under the prior management, but I strongly suspect the prior management had the understanding of what they were doing, and the staff who knew how things worked and would have likely spotted an issue before it happened, and almost certainly wouldn't have Musk's world renowned "lets fiddle with this without knowing what it does" attitude to running a servers.
I'm seeing more and more of the people I follow(ed) on Twitter reposting their contacts for other platforms (I've currently got a document open on my desktop with a list of contacts for them), and an increasing number are either saying they're shuttering their account within X days, or have just stopped using it.
I know for some it was when Musk reinstated a suspended account that had been sharing edited child abuse videos (something a twitter employee had a very uncomfortable time in front of the Aussie parliament about as he tied himself in knots explaining what twitters policy was in regards to it, how and why the account had been reinstated without regard to that policy and having one of the committee members point out that was no defence in law for the account that had possession of the materials). Others just don't expect it to remain usable/reliable or safe.
*IIRC Facebook keeps data in three ways for access, "widely cached" for popular stuff that is accessed a lot, "warm" for stuff that might be accessed a few times a week but isn't worth putting into the cache, and "cold" which is stuff that might not have been accessed for months so is shuffled off to discs that are spun down for most of the time (thus reducing their wear, and the electrical cost, but at the expense of it potentially taking 10-30 seconds for it become available).
What has your make belief "sovereign identity" got to do with anything?
You're just a troll aren't you. You can't be serious with these posts. Quite incredible actually.

When you thought a thread had reached its lowest point.
with regards to what?
You literally have no idea what you've just linked, do you?
Like that 15minute city idiot who thought Dartford crossing jobs were there to secretly install cameras in your home.
Doesn't seem there is much problem with knowing the real life identity of the problem posters on twitter, hiding in plain sight (or their home post-box)
Sovereignty stuff seems just another pseudonym for web3.0 where you will own your personal data, but - still have to explicitly surrender it if you want to access the market square
digitial service act starts on the 25th August so racist/holocaust related material ..Musks posts can be reviewed.

i have no idea what the 15min city story youre talking about is.
i know very well what i linked to and how Colonal Klinks legitimate concerns about all your data in one app can be solved/helped using SSI's in the future

very well enough that when asked to expand, you do that reply that CT nuts use which is "do your own research"
you're free to say that, but you can't then get all moany like you have because no one is convinced by your unwillingnes to expand on something.
Nothing CT about it, read the microsoft documents, i literally posted a google search for you last night as well. I just can't be bothered going back and forth about the most basic of things. It's much quicker and efficient to read it for yourself. Plus the few people in this thread are not interested in discovering something. It's just desperation at every turn to blame or negate.

At least that is actual verification rather than just a credit/debit card that proves nothing other than someone was prepared to spend $
I'm loving his petulant temper tantrum, telling the likes of James Woods to delete their accounts and blocking people who are saying he shouldn't get rid of the blocking feature
Porn sites in the US are starting to do this as well, forcing people to make accounts and submit their government ID to be able to watch porn

how stupid of an idea.
sure, to be clear, i'm not saying it's CT, just the "do your own research" is the CT nuts go to line, so people are naturally tired of hearing that and will respond accoridngly.
TechAltar had a good video recently about why Super Apps work, it's not down to state surveillance:
tl;dw: Super Apps were able to thrive in China and other countries for two reasons (1) there was no central app store for them to compete with, so they were the best way to get apps; and (2) they provided convenient electronic payment methods. Neither of those work in the West, we get apps from the Play Store or Apple's equivalent, and we already have convenient electronic payment methods.
Trusty is a blockchain acolyte, these SSI's are based on blockchain therefore they are going to be the be all and end all to Trusty.
Just as crypto was going to replace all the FIAT money and Bitcoin was going to hit 100k, there was nothing that was going to stop it, choo choo!

Yet it would have been quicker for you to have replied with a tldr summary of 'SSI' rather than "going back and forth" replying to users with "do your own research"...

The more you consolidate the more your leaning to convenience at the risk of a problem.
Its like the people who have their phone, they use it for apple pay (or equivalent) and don't carry any cash or cards, they also use it to unlock their Tesla.
What happens when some scrote steals your phone. You cannot easily contact anyone, get access to any money, nor get into your car.
There is some benefit to being able to have a secure but accessable record "online" that you control and that can be easily used to verify its you. Whilst simultaneously not having to give yet another party confidential details in order to prove its you.
Its always going to be a trade off though, who exactly do you want to trust with this, and how do you control access to the parts people need to see only.
Its certainly possible, and makes a lot of sense.
Eg I said a COVID type vaccine blockchain would have made loads of sense. Travelling whilst countries had lots of restrictions was a nightmare. Having a secure blockchain record of your vaccinations that you would have been able to prove would have saved my uploading photos of my vaccine proof numerous times.
