Not disclosing advertisements runs afoul of the FTC’s rules.

Yeah this is straight up illegal. The FTC and EU don’t give a shit if this was “just a test” or “a whoopsie doopsie.”
Big ol’ fine incoming for every day this isn’t fixed.
those organizations don’t work for people. they work for corporations. if this story is true, it sets a precedent that all other tech companies will probably follow
Are you even following the news? The EU is handing out fines like there’s no tomorrow.
And clearly it’s working…
USB-C iPhone? You’re right, it is working.
Ok, but that was probably going to happen anyway? Apple learned after people pitched an absolute shit fit when they changed at once from the 30-pin connector to lightning to never do that again. So they’ve been switching over the products one line at a time to USB-C. First MacBooks, then iPads one update at a time until now all the new ones are USB-C. My guess is iPhones were always gonna be next.
I don’t know about US but in the EU these things don’t fly.
Just American Things
Yeah they are FUCKING COOKED
Crime crimers doing crimes.
Oh, commit a crime? Just commit a crime? Why don’t i strap on my crime helmet and squeeze down into a crime cannon and fire off into crime land, where crimes grow on crimees!
Only a true genius could have taken that failing company and transformed it it into the criminally failing company that it is today.
I wonder if this is a bug not a feature. Since, ya know, 90%(?) of the workforce was essentially forced out
Is this company still worth “billions” with a b?
If you ask the people remaining on it, it’s with a “t”.
If you ask everybody else…Billion’t?
Good one, lol
I think it’s worth like $16 billion now? Which compared to the $44 billion purchasing price is… does caculations not good
I thought I just saw in the last day or so that it could actually be worth as little as $4B now.
It really wouldn’t surprise me when you’re pricing in where the company might end up in a few quarters from now. He hasn’t even owned it that long and has already managed to do so much harm.
These days whenever there is a new change on Twitter’s UI, I’m not sure if it’s a bug or intentional feature.
Later, Musk tweets that they were just doing to a test to collect data. Because they want to prove that having to label them is bad and destroys engagement.
Someone ping me if this happens.
I would love to see him blatantly admit to illegal activity
it’s only illegal if he gets caught finger to head meme
meh, if youre still using this dying platform, i kinda think its on you at this point.
I don’t have that weird musk hatred fetish that many seem to have. But I also do not really like him. I like some of his actions and dislike many. I guess I could say I really don’t care about musk at all. Anyway, one thing for sure is that the guy is insanely entertaining. It’s been a while since since I’ve seen someone so monumentally screw up something that wasn’t really that broken.
It’s entertaining to watch, but him having as much power as he does and using it in terrible ways does have consequences. Probably not so entertaining for people that have to deal with it first hand
Power? He has money. Nothing much else. The people that work for him are doing so willingly. The people that use Twitter are doing so freely. The haters give him more publicity than the people that adore him. People were gloating that if someone didn’t like the platform they should leave and use something else. Now the tables have turned. Anyone that hates musk but uses Twitter is a fool.
Yes, power. Something that he has an immense amount of, due to his position, money, and influence.
He literally caused deaths in Ukraine for violating his dod starlink contract because he personally felt if Ukraine kicked Russia ass too hard, Russia would nuke the world.
A CIVILLIAN JUST DECIDED TO CAUSE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLES DEATH IN UKRAINE BY NOT HONORING HIS CONTRACT BECAUSE HE INSERTED HIMSELF WHERE HE SHOULDNT OF. Oh and the cock sucker STILL is out here lying starlink hasn’t been paid for the use of that when the fucking American DoD and European DoDs PAID FOR UKRAINES FUCKING ACCESS
That’s having too much power. Honestly just that alone I feel should put him up against a firing squad but that’s just me.
Power? He has money. Nothing much else.
You, um, might want to read this article.
Isn’t there a social media comm this shit can be posted in? It doesn’t have anything to do with technology other than it’s a website.
The option to scroll on by things you personally aren’t interested in is always there.
Ironically, this is probably the same justification Musk is going to use to defend the unlabeled ads.
Or, or! You could post it in a comm about social media. There’s also comm specifically about Musk drama called enough musk spam you can post it in.
Or you could scroll past things you personally are not interested in instead of spending more time to post a complaint. You could also get a client that allows keyword muting so you don’t have to see it.
The world is full of things that people “could” do.
You know what. You’re right. This comm is for Musk drama.
Have at it.
The kicker is, this isn’t even ABOUT Elon. It’s about Twitter being weird. You’re the one bringing Elon into it
I already conceded. The real kicker is you want to have the last word.
