    Last night I went on my Twitter for the first time in ages only to find my account had switched from private to public without me knowing. I am furious. I post pics of my child on there and have also talked about my abuser on there. Not to mention everything I share is in the context of it being PRIVATE to my handful of online friends who use it. I am deleting the account today but I have no idea how long it was just sitting there open and who may have seen what.

      Probably happened as part of the changes they did to make it so only logged in users can view any tweets at all. Looks like twitter is intent on killing itself.

        Such a shit show. Plus Twitter hardly works half the time if you aren’t using the app. I refuse to have the app otherwise I will totally go on and doomscroll, but the browser version is awful ever since Elon took over. Hence hardly going on lately.

      We really need something like GDPR down here. Shit like that should cost a company.

        I know right. I feel so helpless about it… it’s seriously wrong but there will be no consequences.

      That’s just awful. Hopefully having a small footprint means it was un-noticed but not knowing I’m sure is not a nice feeling. Hugs Star… I deactivated my account yesterday when I realised I had to log in to see content and thought, meh, I don’t use it, they have transphobia in their dna and Elon Musk is a jerk.

        Yes thankfully just a little account though I notice the views per tweet were up from like 10 to 30-40 😩 I’ve basically just been delaying the admin of closing the account and organising where to stay connected with people elsewhere but this is beyond the last straw for me. And agreed. I’m so done with these misogynistic transphobic god knows what else fuck head run social media companies.
