some practical twitter stats , can't believe they/footballers have more abuse than the average twitter 'celebrity'Crossing the line: Seven in ten Premier League footballers face Twitter abuse
Ofcom reveals the scale of personal attacks suffered by Premier League footballers every day on Twitter, and sets out what must be done collectively to tackle the issue.
Musk needs to consider cost of managing these abusers ... or, intelligent footballers should just leave.
My thoughts too
Not really. Check Motors where someone's wife reversed into a van and the lads quickly found her home address and all of her details.Mudge testified under oath to the Senate this week, I think we can get past 'might be true'. What he said was truly worrying.
I Listened to Mudge's testimony to the Senate Judiciary Committee and it was scary.
The powers that Twitter staff have at hand are like something out of the movies. When asked about the data twitter hold and how it can be abused, Mudge recited the story of a board member being concerned about a Twitter User threatening them.
The results of an internal investigation - which took all of 10 mins - are chilling to say the least. Especially if you then assume that all the Social Networks can do the same.
This is the relevant testimony:
"WHEN YOU SIGN UP FOR AN ACCOUNT, I HOPE THAT THE COMPANY IS RESPONSIBLE. NOT TO SAY THAT THEY WOULD LIKE THE DATA TO BE USED CORRECTLY AND SAFELY, BUT THAT THEY ARE ACTUALLY ABLE TO QUANTIFIABLY, INTERNALLY GUARANTEE THAT IS THE CASE. AS FAR AS THE TYPE OF DATA, I BELIEVE SENATOR GRASSLEY REFERRED TO AN INCIDENT. WE HAD A USER ON TWITTER THAT WAS HARRASSING SOME MEMBERS OF THE EXECUTIVE TEAM AND THE BOARD. THIS PERSON CAME TO ME AND SAID IS THIS A REAL, VIABLE THREAT? DO I NEED TO BE WORRIED? WHO IS THIS PERSON? IT TOOK ME MAYBE 30 MINUTES TO REACH OUT TO AN EMPLOYEE AND SAY WHAT DO WE KNOW ABOUT THIS PERSON? IT TOOK THAT PERSON MAYBE 10 MINUTES TO GET BACK TO ME AND SAY OK, HERE IS WHO THEY ARE, THIS IS THE ADDRESS WHERE THEY LIVE, THIS IS WHERE THEY ARE PHYSICALLY AT THIS MOMENT, THEY ARE ON THEIR PHONE, WE KNOW THEIR PHONE NUMBER AND ALL OF THE OTHER ACCOUNTS THEY HAVE TRIED TO SET UP ON THE SYSTEM, AND WE KNOW WHO THEY ARE ON OTHER SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS AS WELL. "
Like I said. Chilling.
I get it - he is there to make change not find employment. When he got the text that screamed bozo ('please don't make mean tweet') he sussed out the guy and knew immediately it wasn't worth his time unless that guy was gone.BBC News - Messages reveal how Musk and Twitter boss fell out

Not long now until the decision.
Thought you all would enjoy reading the article above. Found it quite interesting, especially how random it seemed (at least form the texts) that Elon wanted to take over twitter.
Like who jumps from being on the board, 24 hours later deciding against it, a few days later deciding to offer to purchase for 44 billion, then doing the research after.
All very odd, but then having 200 billion probably does that to even the strongest minded person.
Just to be clear, you agree with what he did day 1 of joining the board? I thought you were being sarcastic at first, but you actually agree with Elon's method?
I agree with realising my job is futile and throwing the towel in or doubling down.
