Thanks for that...

That wipes out that service then for the convenient benefit of Ligado.

Is that yet another bomb of destruction left by Trump's Ajit Pai?...

They've kicked and screamed for years, but in the end they've had to comply.

Elon should've just stuck to his electrical and space businesses as he has shot himself in both feet with his train wreck Twitter takeover.

Musk Could Be Fined Half a Million Dollars Every Day Over Twitter Cull.

It seems that I'm not the only 1 who thinks that Elon should stick to his rockets and cars, but he doesn't like the truth.

Musk quick to correct Hulk star Mark Ruffalo.

And so much for free speech.

Meanwhile Suckerberg is getting in on the layoff wagon as well.

Thousands of jobs are expected to go at Meta after the parent company of Facebook and Instagram reported its profit had more than halved.

It doesn't help when a lot of the adds are actual scams.

A court says an employee who refused to keep a webcam switched on was wrongly fired. He was awarded around $72,000 USD in compensation.

The man, whose name was not revealed in the case, worked remotely in the Netherlands for a Florida-based IT company called Chetu.

After working in the role for almost three years, he was told to take part in a "Corrective Action Program - Virtual Classroom." This involved keeping a webcam switched on throughout his nine-hour working day. (Source: bbc.co.uk)

The employee refused to do so, arguing that he was already sharing his screen with management and thus they could already adequately monitor his work. He argued that keeping the camera on was an invasion of his privacy.

I'm glad to hear that one individual has had the "moral strength" (other phrases may be used) to fight the big-brother attitudes of far too many employers. Just because it is possible to do something (monitor an employee in this case) it does not mean you should (either morally or legally).

Will Elon's train wreck takeover of Twitter lead to bankruptcy?

Musk has been told he is not “above the law” as his $66 billion Twitter takeover turns into a “circus show” and he is urged to step away.

It looks like Elon is going to get acquainted with the words "loser" and "bankruptcy" really soon at the rate he's going.

Musk sacks outsourced Twitter moderators hired to track hate and other harmful content.

Between all the sackings, resignations and advertisers leaving the platform there won't be anything left of Twitter.

To save money, Elon announced he was turning off "unnecessary microservices." Unfortunately, one of them was the service that sends out 2FA codes so no one could log on. Oops. :^p

I wonder if there'll be a Twitter at all soon as Elon heads for even more trouble elsewhere within his empire.

Hundreds of Twitter employees are expected to resign in the wake of Elon Musk’s brutal recent ultimatum demanding longer and more “hardcore” hours.
