Isn't the whole dynamic of twitter that it can make a highly vocal minority viewpoint seem like an oppressive majority viewpoint, where reality is that it's like a heckler's veto on amphetamines with a megaphone?

Well, it’s the CA state bar - it’s the den for all the lawyers in a juggernaut state. Misdirection through deceptive - sorry persuasive - language is literally what a goodly number of them do every day for a living.

That was my reaction. A tenant can be set up to expose the “don’t ask me to sign in again on this device” option, and to let the MFA last for a certain amount of time. It would be worth reviewing your tenant config. MFA shouldn’t be as big
