Is Twitter dying?

[PGen98]

Weren't they the one who got doxxed a while back by anti-trans bigots?

Doxxed, swatted, run out of the country, threatened, tracked down again, threatened again, attempted swatted again...you name it, they tried it. She's safe now, fortunately, but what a scary time that was, I thought for sure we'd be reading about her death very soon.

NEW: Twitter is shutting down its data center in Sacramento and downsizing another in Atlanta by early Jan, likely as a cost saving measure. This means a huge amount of traffic will be shifted to its remaining data centers, which could result in increased instability.

Twitter restores suicide-prevention hotline feature after outcry

Top official confirms feature was removed but only temporarily, following Reuters report that prompted criticism of Elon Musk

www.theguardian.com

Twitter has restored a feature that promoted suicide prevention hotlines and other safety resources to users looking up certain content, after coming under pressure from users and consumer safety groups.

The feature, known as #ThereIsHelp, placed a banner at the top of search results for certain topics, listing contacts for support organizations in many countries related to mental health, HIV, vaccines, child sexual exploitation, Covid-19, gender-based violence, natural disasters and freedom of expression.

Reuters said on Friday the feature had been taken down this week. Citing two people familiar with the matter, the report said the removal was ordered by the social media platform’s owner, Elon Musk.

After publication of the story, Twitter’s head of trust and safety, Ella Irwin, confirmed the removal but said it was temporary. “We have been fixing and revamping our prompts. They were just temporarily removed while we do that,” Irwin said in an email to Reuters.

Musk then denied the feature had been removed, and called the Reuters report “fake news”.

Nonetheless, the report appeared at the start of the Christmas holiday, a fraught time for many, prompting widespread concern. The anonymous sources cited by Reuters said millions had encountered #ThereIsHelp messages on Twitter.

I made an account recently and I logged in last night to see that I have been permanently suspended: https://twitter.com/Nebulous833

That is a head scratcher because I just created the account, had only one post saying I was new there and followed like 4 people. Literally did nothing to be banned over.

That happened to me too, years ago; I was dumbfounded because I had never even posted. Twice! I somehow got through to somebody/something to complain & got a response saying that it was some kind of technical error.

Weird. I filed an appeal but if they don't reinstate it then its no biggie as I invested no time or energy into that account.

How about that??
I sure don't recall what the note said in response to my complaint; but I wouldn't be very surprised if this is a duplicate.
