Literally 1984

Have you read that book? Because it sounds like you haven't...

Not really. Literally 1984 would be mass surveillance, even inside your home, media everywhere, rewriting history. Some US states start to fit this.

I mean, I never used Twitter in the first place so I'm not the target audience; but this would be a hard pass for me.

They're really struggling with this whole "verification" thing. Maybe getting rid of verification on the first place just to sell an emoji next to people's name was a bad idea in the first place!

Cmon! Why people are still using it?

It's just the first step before TwitterX turns into an "everything" app.
