| > > It's now down to 15 people. > This restriction is part of a broader plan to freeze Twitter’s software code to keep employees from pushing changes to the app during the transition to new ownership. Typically this level of access is given to a group of people numbering in the hundreds, and that was initially reduced to about 15 people last week It's unclear from the article but this could be referring to the number of people allowed to push code changes to production. (Does Twitter even have a dev/test environment?) Of course the blue-check journalists have officially (R) interpreted and are now disseminating these facts for us, and as we know journalists are never wrong. > the surge in hate speech The media is pushing this angle really hard, as this feeds the perpetual outrage machine that keeps them in business, and Elon is this week's target. In reality, the head of T&S at Twitter reported that there is a coordinated bot-driven trolling campaign going on. It would not surprise me if this was a smear campaign against Musk. Fabricate some hate speech, then craft a narrative in the MSM that it was all his fault. Unfortunately for them it seems they overplayed their hand and the campaign was uncovered. https://twitter.com/yoyoel/status/1586542286342475776 |
