lots of $ stolen
This has been going on forever. We need to hold Twitter accountable. This is not a hard problem to fix on twitter's end. if enough people complain, maybe something can be done. This is bordering on criminal negligence. Even if twitter cannot stop these scams completely, law makers in the US and EU need to implore twitter do more.
- subrat_rout 6y agoIs Chamath aware of this? Why he is not putting a public statement or warning on this? Is he really giving away all those bitcoins?
- hamiltonians 6y agoof course he is not giving btc away. A public statement would not help that much because when someone tweets , only a fraction of their followers will see it. So this means that the PSA will only reach maybe 10% of his followers, at best unless he were to tweet it over and over, which would be annoying. He should make an announcement anyway. I think Woz and Brad Garlinghouse had the right idea of suing Youtube when scammers targeted them.
- subrat_rout 6y agoAgree. Big name and celebrities should held social media accountable and companies or organizations defrauding people should not get away with these kind of shenanigans.
