Worth remembering if you're a wanted fugitive.

I can't leave Twitter again unless I go back.

Super serious job of CEO for three different billion dollar companies is so time consuming that he has spare time "to work" as a head of a government department, as well.

This makes me think that maybe CEOs don't actually do that much.

Don't think this will only affect the us. This can be used against anyone living in a country that's friendly with the turd.

Leave twitter. For your own safety.

Even before... all this... anyone still on Twitter was an asshole.

Stop visiting the Nazi bar.

Worth remembering that if you send something to an external website, what they do with it is completely outside of your control.

Trust no company with your information.

Just stop using Twitter. I'm so glad I erased myself from the Internet and I would encourage others to do the same. Thought crimes are actually going to be a thing, because America is now fully fascist. Some people will find out what it's like to live in a fully authoritarian country. Don't be one of them if you can avoid it.

Twitter has been a right wing revenge honeypot since melon head took over.

I don't think trying to convince people is going to do anything anymore. Everyone who was ever going to leave Twitter already has. Anyone who still uses Twitter after everything that's happened will immediately dismiss this Toot or anyone saying anything resembling it as baseless fearmongering. What's the point?

I post photos online, and despite the fact that the platforms (Tumblr, and I think Pixelfed too?) scrub exif data, I do it manually anyway.

Pro tip:

exiftool -overwrite_original -All= file.jpg

whatever data anyone has (google, facebook, your employer, your bank, the credit bureaus) basically belongs to trump's nsa, fbi, cia, etc now

If you’re still hanging out with Nazis you deserve whatever happens to you.

TBF, any of the big players are rife to capitulate to fed demands with the admin changes. Keep that crap out of Facebook, X, Google, Microsoft, unencrypted chat.

No idea why anyone that's not racist, sexist, or has a reasonable level of intelligence is still on that site.

My friend was way into it for news directly from journalists and had been on the site since the beginning. As soon as Trump's victory was secure he deleted his account and moved to BlueSky.

Time to leave that site to the deplorables and move on.

If you don't think every major US site has been freely giving your data to the government for 20+ years, you're painfully naive. US law has never required a warrant for this type of thing due to the Third Party Doctrine.

Can twatter app not also track location, and use mic & cam at will?

I hope I live to see it turn into a soulless pile of bots reposting porn clips for D-grade advertising agencies with no human users.

Sure glad I never had a Xitter account.

I did.

I'm on Mastodon and Bluesky. My family is the only reason I'm still on Facebook.

Facebook messenger. Every keystroke is recorded. Go ahead, as for your data from Facebook. Every keystroke is logged.

Facebook Messenger is the worst way to be communicating right now.

Now is the time to migrate yourself and your people to WIRE or Signal. Your messenger people will likely only move once, if ever.

One way to encourage this is by simply refusing to be available by text on anything but WIRE or Signal. They will eventually give in and use it. You can still FaceTime, and for free, via Signal or WIRE.

I made a twitter account that I never used and I deactivated it yesterday. I didn't have to, but I did anyway.

What is EXIF data? Location and time stamp? How do you remove that from photos and videos?
