genuine question: do people use twitter to catch up with folks?
As much as I hate it, I still occasionally use fb to message old friends, and instagram to keep up with friends. twitter… used to be for following celebrities but i’ve gone off that since (and if i wanted to, i can do that on insta).
I know the general narrative is “Google bad”, but this seems like a healthy thing?
First of all, if this is a way for employees to report privacy incidents, that’s a good thing.
Second, given the enormous reach giggle has, the fact that it has “thousands” of privacy incidents collected over many years isn’t a large percentage at all.

You forgot about a country called Ukraine there buddy.
I gotta say, of all the conflicts going on in the world, Ukraine/Russia has got to be the one with the clearest “good” side and “bad” side. Pick another conflict to be edgy about.

Spamming user+1@gmail, user+2@gmail takes absolutely no technical knowledge whatsoever - anyone can do it with 1 gmail account.
Spamming user1@domain, user2@domain etc requires 1 of two things:
you can sign up for multiple email accounts using a third party service. You’re going to run into trouble with Gmail or other big providers if you start creating accounts en masse.
you create your own email server. this requires someone with selfhosting knowledge and some basic coding (or rather server config) experience.
Apparently smaller tech firms are loving office mandates, because it allows them to hire talent that they normally would not have access to at their budget.
ok your post was so incredulous that i went down a bit of a rabbit hole here… jesus i don’t know whether to laugh or cry at everything.
good summary btw. and the craziness goes even further… my favorite bit of “lore” is the fact that sovcits who operate a motor vehicle for non-commercial purposes can claim to be “traveling” rather than “driving” and therefore do not need a valid drivers’ license or valid plates on their car.
