Twitter under Elon Musk has yet to publish transparency reports detailing government content removal demands; the company published its last report in July 2022
New: Twitter told employees that Slack was down for “routine maintenance.” That's a lie — the company hasn't paid its bill. But weirder still, Slack didn't shut down Twitter's instance. Someone at Twitter manually shut off access: https://www.platformer.news/ ...
NEW: @elonmusk keeps talking about “transparency” being the “key to trust.” But ever since he took over Twitter, the platform has stopped providing regular reports about when the FBI and DOJ ask for users' data https://www.rollingstone.com/ ...
