Don’t think this will only affect the us. This can be used against anyone living in a country that’s friendly with the turd.
Leave twitter. For your own safety.
It’s literally a matter of national security for other nations.
Oh no, it’s fine, we’re just being softly threatened with the enabling of a Russian invasion of our eastern borders should we force Twitter to comply with our laws. No real problem here, keep posting.
Super serious job of CEO for three different billion dollar companies is so time consuming that he has spare time “to work” as a head of a government department, as well.
This makes me think that maybe CEOs don’t actually do that much.
That’s were the real AI job losses will be.
A chat bot agent to deal with most of managers concerns, and a dashboard of tickets for those the agent can’t reply to. The last remaining CEo sits Infront of their dashboard and views tickets, get background and relevant info, and makes a decision based on what’s presented.Seriously, imagine 1 person having the responsibility, being well compensated, and has literally everything presented in front of them like some homer-simpson-working-from-home type thing.
So many VP and CEO salaries could be saved, and let people get back to actually doing useful work.I’d hate to be the AI “prompt engineer” that spends their day typing “you are a CEO of a fortune 500 company…” type system prompt, tho

Just stop using Twitter. I’m so glad I erased myself from the Internet and I would encourage others to do the same. Thought crimes are actually going to be a thing, because America is now fully fascist. Some people will find out what it’s like to live in a fully authoritarian country. Don’t be one of them if you can avoid it.
Twitter and all of the other sites you left still have your data. It’s just not public. The internet is forever unless the company literally nosedives and all of their servers are wiped. And even then, there might be some backup on someone else’s servers.
Well, yes, of course. Are you suggesting people stay on twitter because it’s too late?
I’m saying it’s too late to erase yourself from the internet. The best you could do is not make it worse for yourself, which would involve quitting Twitter.
But if there was any indication on any social media site that you’re queer, even if you think the data has been erased, you could be in big trouble soon.
Worth remembering that if you send something to an external website, what they do with it is completely outside of your control.
Trust no company with your information.
If you’re still hanging out with Nazis you deserve whatever happens to you.
Keep in mind that we’re in an echo chamber here. We see and read stuff that most people don’t care to know about, and we communicate amongst ourselves without considering the people who are outside of our echo chamber. In the same way people last week were googling about Biden dropping out of the election, a lot of people don’t know what’s happening with a lot of things around them. It doesn’t make them bad people, just ignorant.
whatever data anyone has (google, facebook, your employer, your bank, the credit bureaus) basically belongs to trump’s nsa, fbi, cia, etc now
I post photos online, and despite the fact that the platforms (Tumblr, and I think Pixelfed too?) scrub exif data, I do it manually anyway.
Pro tip:
exiftool -overwrite_original -All= file.jpgNo idea why anyone that’s not racist, sexist, or has a reasonable level of intelligence is still on that site.
My friend was way into it for news directly from journalists and had been on the site since the beginning. As soon as Trump’s victory was secure he deleted his account and moved to BlueSky.
Time to leave that site to the deplorables and move on.
I knew a journalist who said she used it for work. Apparently that’s just where a critical mass of people refuse to leave.
But also she’d send me stupid memes from Twitter.
Can twatter app not also track location, and use mic & cam at will?
On modern phones, it will tell you if it’s using them. And you can block permissions.
however, given who is the owner, right now the best course of action is to consider xitter as a compromised app and treat it as malware/spyware
Twitter has been a right wing revenge honeypot since melon head took over.
TBF, any of the big players are rife to capitulate to fed demands with the admin changes. Keep that crap out of Facebook, X, Google, Microsoft, unencrypted chat.
What is EXIF data? Location and time stamp? How do you remove that from photos and videos?
Or for a one-off, copy the image in one program and paste it into another. Then it’s just pixels.
Depends, some know how to handle the metadata. You could take a screenshot and send that though.
Metadata contained within the image file.
Using the one from this post this is what I can see (exif data has been stripped or wasn’t there):
Here’s another example where the data is plain as day:
Exif data can contain everything from the make/model of device used to take a picture, to a gps location of where the picture was taken.
Removing that information depends on what you’re using to do it, but can be done with an exif editing tool in pretty much any OS I’m aware of.
Edit: Autocorrect is a pita.
For techies: would opening my photo in MS Paint and doing “save as png” remove exif data?
From a quick test, that does seem to remove most data.
Instead of that, if you’re going to through that process for just a few files, the Details tab in the file properties has a link at the bottom to strip all that stuff.
Maybe but I wouldn’t trust MS to do the job even if it appeared true. Use a reputable open source tool made for the job if you can
Results are in. According to jimpl.com, saving as PNG in MS Paint does remove some exif data.
I don’t know what’s possible to be stored as exif data so I can’t tell you if this is everything. But here’s my result.
Interesting. Location is the big one though, which your test image didn’t have.
Good catch. I’m satisfied with the test so I won’t be doing another one. Feel free to try one of your own photos which includes location data and report back to us with your findings.
Eh, too much trouble to reboot into windows :)
Cool in that case thanks for your contributions
Even before… all this… anyone still on Twitter was an asshole.
Stop visiting the Nazi bar.
There’s no reason to have anything older than 12 months on Twitter, just auto delete anything older.
Even 6 months should be good.
If you’re the type who uses Twitter as a blogging platform, grab that shit and self-host it.
There no reason Twitter would need to actually delete data from their backend.
If you are the type that thinks any of the for profit tech companies are deleting your data I’ve got a bridge to sell you.
