Why did Twitter change to X? You'll be shocked to know this... Not just because of rebranding but because Elon Musk wanted to, end of story. Honestly, there's nothing more to it. As per him, X symbolizes "embracing the imperfections in all of us," if this counts! Basically, he has had an "X" fetish since he began his journey. His first domain was "X.com." He later merged with another company, which became PayPal. Even for this, he suggested the X name, but no one agreed. Years later, he bought the domain back from PayPal just for sentimental reasons. As for Twitter, he wants to evolve the platform beyond just tweets, and it will be more than that, so he must bid adieu to the birds. That's fair enough. Twitter will be the hub of everything. As we all know, Elon Musk loves to invent things that already exist. X will be a western version of WeChat. What do you think about it all? Let me know your views! #elonmusk #twitter #business #brandbuilding

In social media, neither aggressive moderation nor free-for-all free speech absolutism takes into account the realities of human nature, human interaction, nor the just governance of the spaces where humans exercise their agency and reason. The technocrats who've attempted both of these approaches are simply outside of their expertise when attempting to build the "digital town square."

The recent clash between Elon Musk’s Twitter X and the EU over the planned interview with Donald Trump is more than just a political skirmish—it’s a stark example of the EU’s growing ambition to impose its regulatory will on U.S. companies, even beyond its borders. Thierry Breton's warning to Musk about broadcasting the interview underscores the EU’s aggressive stance, using laws like the Digital Services Act to interfere with political discourse in the U.S. under the pretext of preventing hate speech and disinformation. But the real issue here isn’t just about one interview—it’s about the EU’s broader strategy to control American tech companies by imposing regulations that effectively nationalize their intellectual property for use in Europe. This trend threatens the very sovereignty of U.S. businesses, as the EU seeks to dictate terms and levy fines based on global revenues, regardless of where that income is earned. The EU’s actions risk stifling innovation and undermining the free market principles that have driven the success of U.S. technology companies. It’s time for the U.S. government to push back against this overreach -- and US business leaders should demand they do so. American companies should not be subject to foreign regulations that infringe on their rights and control how they operate on U.S. soil, and the EU should not be allowed to fine a US company based on global revenue instead of the revenue generated within the EU. For a deeper understanding of how the EU is trying to force its rules on American businesses and the implications of this power grab, I *highly* recommend reading Ben Thompson's recent Stratechery article, The EU Goes Too Far (https://lnkd.in/gc5x7pGQ). This isn’t just about politics—it’s about protecting the integrity and innovation of U.S. enterprises. #FreeSpeech #USBusiness #EUOverreach #Xcom #Stratechery https://lnkd.in/gc5x7pGQ

Is democracy still alive? This eye-opening interview with Spike Cohen and Matt Taibbi (investigative journalist behind the Twitter Files) goes over the idea that democracy is meaningless without informed choice. But with the manipulation of the media that we have today, we're being deprived of that informed choice. Matt gives multiple examples of how censorship is far more pervasive than most people think. Watch the full interview to learn more. Click here to watch the full talk: https://lnkd.in/dzyeUzc5

Data commented on by Elon Musk suggests that X.com (formerly Twitter) has gone from an average organic MAU of 800M users to roughly 3B+. The important part to note here is the word organic. If accurate, this is absolutely staggering in a short time period https://lnkd.in/eiVycHu4

Some users use LinkedIn like they use Twitter (X.com), They post everything related to the current news (political and economical) but no posts about delivering or sharing knowledge or talking about a technical trend. This can be a sort of gatekeeping from my part, sorry about that. Yet, we can't let LinkedIn turn into Twitter or Facebook. This platform is to share knowledge, to expand networks and to enlarge future visions. #KeepLinkedInSafe #LinkedInForKnowledge

I did not realize that Russian bots had a 1st amendment right. It feels disingenuous for a once respected NBC Universal sales executive Linda Yaccarino, to justify Russian disinformation, bots, and the resulting loss of Ukrainian lives, including nearly 1,000 children, by pretending to protect the 1st Amendment for regular Joes and Janes like you and me. Funny, I haven't felt my 1st amendment rights infringed upon in, well... ever, in fact. What about you? It seems we have more outlets than ever, too many perhaps, to express every waking thought, no matter how repulsive, hate-filled, or damaging. But now, thanks to Miss Yaccarino's new dive to the bottom of the media barrel, so do bots and troll farms. But then again, and I say this as someone with a background in sales, will not SOME salespersons (not all, or even most, of course) say anything to make a sale? It reminds me a bit of a Kremlin Press Conference where Putin's cronies once again deny targeting civilians after just killing and maiming dozens of civilians, yet again. No amount of money can morally justify what Twitter/X has become, and any advertiser that uses that platform should be aware that roughly 50-60% of the accounts and probably a good 75-80% of traffic is generated by bots, many of them Russian, and almost all spewing disinformation and/or hate. I don't know this for a fact, I'm just making stuff up to fit my communication objectives, just like the billions of bots on Twitter/X. What I do know is that since Putin's pal Musk purchased it, Twitter / X has become even more destructive, divisive, and extraordinarily damaging to our society and the world at large. It's more than a waste of money for advertisers, it's a disgrace. But it's all okay because I just exercised my 1st Amendment right? I don't know what's tougher to digest, a doom scroll session on Twitter / X or Linda Yaccarino's transparently desperate attempt to justify her and her company's massive failure in the name of "breaking even." #Twitter #X Linda Yaccarino #ElonMusic #socialmedia #KneeSlapper #Media #Sales #NBCUniversal https://lnkd.in/g272vaXW

🗓 C4DT's "Weekly Pick" series : 📝 Carine Dengler's take on the article entitled "Twitter’s Clumsy Pivot to X.com Is a Gift to Phishers" from KrebsOnSecurity, 10 April 2024: "X/Twitter's blunder is the latest example of the on-going decline of the site's quality. After the chaotic last year, it is arguably not a surprise, but still remarkable, that such a basic mistake made it to production. Now that not only #usability, but #security is suffering too, one wonders when or if the #platform changes gear to return to a sounder state." ➡ Read the article: https://lnkd.in/dtedSpxA Each week we feature a digital trust-related article chosen and commented on by one of our team members.
