I wonder what opportunity this creates for fraud. My grandpa doesn't even know what a tweet is. How hard would it be for a phishing campaign to convince my grandpa to click a fake tweet that says, "In order to continue benefits, please reconfirm your SSN here"?
- chasd00 1y agoread the article, these are press releases for the general public not requests or information for individuals.
- bearcobra 1y agoI think this still increases the risk of an individual falling for a scam. If the official press releases are happening there, it's not crazy for a senior to think other communication might as well.
- sidibe 1y agoGood thing that if they sign up Elon has totally cleaned Twitter up from all the bots! The demographic shift to a bunch of lovely young ladies on X is because of how much the next generation values maximal truth seeking
- _DeadFred_ 1y agoBut just think how much more valuable rug-pull coins/advertising became on X. A whole new target market of people being forced to move there and forced to view the algo.
- ModernMech 1y agoOf course it creates a massive opportunity for fraud. But no one in this administration cares about fraud and scams, haven't you seen the President's namesake crypto shitcoin? Or his namesake fraudulent university? Or his namesake fraudulent charity? The way this administration sees it, separating suckers from their money is virtuous -- if you're smart enough to defraud them, you should be rewarded for your efforts. But if you're dumb enough to be conned, you got what was coming to you. Be smarter next time or perish. This is the new morality.
