I see a request in an earlier thread for a place to discuss our second favorite internet site, so here is a selection of relevant tweets. I do not have the energy to supply a coherent thru-line. Nor do I know if one is possible.

A selection of Twitter executives quit today, prompting the FTC, which has a consent order (or something) against Twitter that has a report due, to warn that monetary penalties may be in Twitter’s future.

Spokesperson for pharmaceutical giant Eli Lilly says they're in communication with Twitter to address the fake-but-verified Eli Lilly tweet that has been up for three hours and has 1,500 retweets and 10,000 likes https://t.co/Ai3lq50YRh pic.twitter.com/zIWDsd8c0B— Drew Harwell (@drewharwell) November 10, 2022

I have been trying to archive as much as possible, but if Twitter goes down the OSINT community in general is in deep trouble. https://t.co/mqKUGDCKT4— OSINTtechnical (@Osinttechnical) November 10, 2022

This is important –

If you decamp your other social media, don’t delete your account here. Some fucker will use the handle and pay $8 to put a checkmark next to it and ride on your reputation. Make it private if you want to erase your footprints, but better to just leave signposts for your friends.— Josh Rosenau (@JoshRosenau) November 10, 2022

Feel free to add more.
