That would be contrary to the GDPR export rules in the EU.
Also, preventing links to competitors is probably going to cost Twitter in the EU. https://twitter.com/juddlegum/status/1604564509884030977?s=4...
pg in the other thread: "I still think Elon is a smart guy." That didn't age well. Not even a full hour. I can't even think of a food item that would age that quickly.
There's kind of three options here: * Elon is personally policing twitter, and has banned PG in a fit of pique, despite literally being at a party in Doha the world cup * Twitter's staff are just being crazy over the top with bannings - this might actually be the most likely. It's kind of obvious that Twitter has some automated systems that suspend accounts when they get mass reported, and some people with a sense of…

From official Twitter support: > We recognize that many of our users are active on other social media platforms. However, we will no longer allow free promotion of certain social media platforms on Twitter. > Specifically, we will remove accounts created solely for the purpose of promoting other social platforms and content that contains links or usernames for the following platforms: Facebook, Instagram, Mastodon, T…
lol, nostr? There are like 20 people on that, it's still just an experiment.
Please note that Twitter will do lots of dumb things in coming months.
We will keep what works & change what doesn’t.
The situation with Twitter has gotten so ridiculous that it's pretty much impossible to comment substantively on this topic at this point. So: lol
Why not? "It's a private platform!". If that very substantive statement was embraced a couple of years ago by many that have now got banned I don't see why they can't follow their own (past) advice.
Don't forget, that during the Twitter FBI Email drops that have been happening recently, that in 2010 twitter gave a firehose of ALL tweets + Updates to the LIBRARY OF CONGRESS [0] And if you dont think the FBI/NSA havent had a palantir like view into all of those.... https://memex.naughtons.org/library-of-congress-drinks-from-...

I’m guessing he got banned for posting this?
Not quite. This was his ultimate tweet: >This is my last straw. I give up. You can find a link to my new Mastodon profile on my site. The tweet itself did not contain a link to http://www.paulgraham.com/ , which contains a link to his Mastodon profile. Apparently that was enough to be suspended.
It doesn't even contain a link. It contains the mastodon handle (username and instance), but you can't click on it because it's not a link; you can paste it on the search bar of your own instance to follow him (and see some of his posts, if someone on the same instance has already followed him).
What happened to the whole “it’s a private company so it can do whatever”? Looks like people don’t like it when the winds blow against them.
Most people with that position take the viewpoint that it is consistent with their view of free speech that Musk can do this, but it is still undesirable that he does do it,
What happened to the whole “as the modern digital public square, it is important to the ‘principal of free speech’, even if not required by the legal doctrine of free speech, that Twitter allow all lawful speech” crowd (including Elon himself)? What happened to the whole “it’s a private company so it can do whatever”?
I am more upset that someone like PG don't have working TLS on his site.
