Twitter has lost 50 of its top 100 advertisers since Elon Musk took over, report says

Half of Twitter's top 100 advertisers appear to no longer be advertising on the website. A report from Media Matters for America states that these 50 advertisers have spent almost $2 billion on Twitter ads since 2020 and more than $750 million just in 2022.

Seven additional advertisers have slowed their advertising to almost nothing, according to the report, which was published on Tuesday. These companies have paid Twitter more than $255 million since 2020.

Hacked Twitter data includes phone numbers, personal emails for celebrities, prominent politicians

More than 5.4 million user records from Twitter have been published online, exposing everything from private phone numbers to email addresses. The data, which was released for free on a popular hacking forum this month, was pilfered last December after hackers exploited an API vulnerability on the social media platform.

Although Twitter says the issue was patched in January after it was reported to the [url=https://hackerone.com/reports/1439026]HackerOne[/url] bug bounty program, numerous threat actors were able to take advantage before the vulnerability was fixed.

Elon Musk says Apple never considered removing Twitter from App Store

Elon Musk on Wednesday tweeted that the misunderstanding about Twitter potentially being removed from Apple Inc's [url=https://www.reuters.com/companies/AAPL.O](AAPL.O)[/url] App Store was resolved following his meeting with the iPhone maker's [url=https://www.reuters.com/companies/AAPL.O](AAPL.O)[/url] Chief Executive Tim Cook.

Has anyone ever considered the power that both Apple and Google have with their App stores?  If this in fact had happened, that Apple removed Twitter from their app store, would you care or see this action by Apple in another way?

As a webmaster, we rely on many resources to be able to offer our website services to members.  I've had the experience of having an app developed and approved in both the Apple App store and the Google Playstore.  It is a lot of work. Each store requires web apps to meet a significant amount of standards. It's not over after the app is built. Once it's built and accepted, which is not an easy process and one also is rejected a number of times until the app is approved, then the app has to be maintained.  Any changes in the app, or unusual crashes, or poor functionality may cause the app to be pulled from the app store without notice.

I agree with high standards, but there are only two app stores.  I did read that Musk may create another app store option with his own phone.  What do you think about that?

Twitter bans links to other social networks – maybe

 [size= 12pt]Accounts that are used for the main purpose of promoting content on another social platform may be suspended. Additionally, any attempts to bypass restrictions on external links to the above prohibited social media platforms through technical or non-technicalmeans (e.g. URL cloaking, plaintext obfuscation) is in violation of this policy. This includes, but is not limited to, spelling out “dot” for social media platforms that use “.” in the names to avoid URL creation, or sharing screenshots of your handle on a prohibited social media platform.[/size] [size= 12pt]

So....the latest Twitter drama has me confused as to their TOS in sharing links from a website.[/size] [size= 12pt]

Soooo.....can we share links to our websites and other websites? Or does their new rule prohibit link sharing entirely?

Really, what's the sense of posting on Twitter if you can't share what you're reading that you like, whether it's from another website or your own?[/size]
