In addition to the improved UX for blocked users, Twitter also announced in its new ToS that any disputes must be handled by a conservative friendly northern district Texas court, despite the new HQ residing in the western district (1). Under the new rules it is possible that disputes with Twitter may be handled by judge Reed O’Conner, who is a Tesla investor (2).

- jsheard 2y agoThe new TOS also requires you to grant Twitter the right to use anything you post for AI training. They added an opt-out consent toggle for that not so long ago, but I guess they're still scrambling to sell all of the copper in the walls so they're already walking it back.
- jauntywundrkind 2y agoQuite the "flood the zone with shit" of a tactic. Make things broadly worse in many dimensions all at once, to diffuse rgse against any specific one of these incredibly hostile anti-user capabilities. Impressive asshattery!
