If that's true, it's a stupid way to attempt that. There is nothing stopping people from just scraping Twitter's front end. That means Twitter pays a ton more money because they have to serve much more data.
APIs are a much more efficient way to serve specific data sets.

Because this is how many people in government think.
“I think that’s a personal choice,” Michelle Donelan, the minister at the helm of the U.K.’s new Department for Science, Innovation and Technology, told POLITICO in an interview. “As a Conservative, I strongly believe in personal choice.”
It's shocking to be reminded how thick some of our representatives really are.

I think this might be just a reclassification situation. Instead of tiktok being blocked implicitly by not being on the whitelist, it's being explicitly blocked on a blacklist. Afaik, we haven't actually got a report of these devices removing tiktok as opposed to just banning the app. Functionally, nothing changed while headlines are made for clicks.

Okay poop-machine, pretty sure Elon is just another cog in the machine of capitalism that has led the brutality of corrupt success in America.
Don’t hate the player being Elon, hate the game being corporate America and the gov. for allowing people Like Elon to succeed.

Anyone think this might be a deliberate method of preventing researchers from tracking and quantifying hate speech on the platform?

Most likely as simple as “ we don’t want to pay for that and pay to have someone set it up and pay for someone to have to deal with those devices” so instead they just give people a phone.

Left Twitter and haven’t missed a second of it and I’m not alone. Bad news. In fact, you don’t hear much about it anywhere.

I assure you that corporate owned hardware generally does have these safeguards. Only the government could be so incompetent

Do government devices have absolutely zero MDM solutions or other safeguards that these laws have to be passed?
Corporate owned/government owned devices should have specific policies that only allow certain items on said devices. It’s amazing that they require these laws as this SHOULD be a common requirement from the get go

Because this isn't bad at all. It sucks for the user, but it generates more profits. And that's the only thing they care about.

Maybe the real plan is to price anchor this and a few months later he lowers the price to 'just' $1000 and everyone will think its an good deal

What planet are you on? This is how the world works. People with money spend it to gain benefits and value.

I doubt the charm offensive is specifically for allowing it on government devices, though.

UK Gov has M365. They have this already via InTune. Who on earth, outside of government, would think allowing users to install ANYTHING they like on a work device was a good idea, let alone users that are privy to very sensitive information. It's madness.
