Elon #Musk finally backs out of the deal to purchase #Twitter, citing unresolved questions about #bots and #spammers.

> "I'd say Twitter is well-positioned legally to argue that it provided him with all the necessary information and this is a pretext to looking for any excuse to get out of the deal," said Ann Lipton, associate dean for faculty research at Tulane Law School.

Now, I don't know whether this person has expertise in contract law and has read the agreement, so I cannot guess as to the result of the legal battle that will come out of this.

> In a filing, Musk's lawyers said Twitter had failed or refused to respond to multiple requests for information on fake or spam accounts on the platform, which is fundamental to the company's business performance.

> "Twitter is in material breach of multiple provisions of that Agreement, appears to have made false and misleading representations upon which Mr. Musk relied when entering into the Merger Agreement," the filing said.

Finally heard back, and they told me to go pound sand, the archive is in the profile. Which just leads back to the help site.
(also, my "photo ID" was a 16x16 Apple logo png, which they seem to have accepted as legal proof of identity)
UNLESS, you give them your phone number, and then a whole new world of actually working opens up, and now supposedly they're sending me my archive.
But they have my phone number. UGH.

I did find less garbage pushed when I tried Tweetdeck, but "50 columns mode" still has unwanted content, while missing some wanted content.

I went to the main #Twitter site recently and spent the whole time cicking "show less of this" (in my case, it was any post someone I follow had 'liked' and also random posts by unknown people). I had the feeling that there is an infinite pool of garbage waiting to be pushed in front of my eyes.

I really hate the site so much because they fill my timeline with so much unrequested garbage that I cannot even judge whether the people I'm following are still worth it.

Elon #Musk not joining #Twitter's board after all. https://nu.federati.net/url/285820 [www msnbc com]

I suspect it is because they reminded him that as a board member, he would have a fiduciary duty to act in the interests of all shareholders, not just himself, and that he could face restrictions on what he could say & write.

Sure, the 14.9% cap probably also bugs him. I just don't think that was enough to dissuade him. While the fiduciary duty is something he may have had trouble with in the past.

I would guess that my #Twitter account has less than 200 tweets. It was over 12,000, but then I started deleting. The earliest tweets and the most recent ones are all that are left.

A #VPN provider that I used shut down without much notice (in fact, the only way I found out was that I visited their site months later, trying to figure out why I hadn't been able to connect).

The #hotel I was using had a local provider that blocked #Fediverse instances (including Mastodon.Social), #Diaspora, #XMPP, #IRC, and a certain mail provider that I still use. They did not block: #Facebook, #Twitter, #GMail, or Outlook / #Hotmail

Because I couldn't connect to the VPN, I discovered how many perfectly normal sites were blocked because they weren't on the top 100 list. I went downstairs and informed the front desk that I would be leaving their establishment because of their blocking.

I received a phone call from their networking vendor, who logged into their router and proxy and turned off filtering on a list of about 25 sites they'd blocked.

But the point is, the hotel and its provider cannot be trusted not to fsck with your data. Always use a VPN.
