Not disclosing advertisements runs afoul of the FTC’s rules.
Crime crimers doing crimes.
I wonder if this is a bug not a feature. Since, ya know, 90%(?) of the workforce was essentially forced out
It takes work to make it go away.
The bug is the feature. Firing 90% of the company doesn’t just save you a ton of money, and doesn’t just trim the fat or rot of a company. It removes any dissidents and skeptics who don’t have total, unwavering, boot-licking loyalty. Even Musk fanboys were likely forced out just for questioning whether it was a good idea to fire 90% of them. The slightest hint of independent critical thinking is snuffed out by force, or leaves the company voluntarily when they see the writing on the wall.
What else could that maneuver possibly produce except a small army of sycophants?
And then once you have those sycophants, it doesn’t matter whether you make good or bad decisions, you will never ever be challenged on them. You don’t have to worry about how your orders become reality or if you break any laws along the way, your gang of losers will make it happen and won’t ask for a penny of overtime pay.
Hanlon’s Razor is dead, at least as applied to Musk, because the malice and stupidity are one and the same.
Hanlon’s razor thin line
Shareholders have the last say.
Musk bought it, there are no more shareholders because now he owns it completely.
It’s actually fairly simple. If a user notices a post in their feed from an account they don’t follow, they can simply click or tap on the three dot icon located in the upper right-hand corner of the specific post. This will open a drop-down menu.
However, if the post is an ad, this menu provides additional options. … “Not interested in this ad,” … “Report ad” … “Why this ad?”
You bet your ass that they are going to get rid of those options.
I noticed people have been putting community notes on ads, I wonder how long that’s going to last.
Later, Musk tweets that they were just doing to a test to collect data. Because they want to prove that having to label them is bad and destroys engagement.
Someone ping me if this happens.
I would love to see him blatantly admit to illegal activity
Yeah this is straight up illegal. The FTC and EU don’t give a shit if this was “just a test” or “a whoopsie doopsie.”
Big ol’ fine incoming for every day this isn’t fixed.
This is exactly why I haven’t updated the app in months. I don’t see all the shitty changes, my Twitter is still Twitter and I can easily block all the advertisements.
Isn’t there a social media comm this shit can be posted in? It doesn’t have anything to do with technology other than it’s a website.
The option to scroll on by things you personally aren’t interested in is always there.
Ironically, this is probably the same justification Musk is going to use to defend the unlabeled ads.
Or, or! You could post it in a comm about social media. There’s also comm specifically about Musk drama called enough musk spam you can post it in.
You answered your own question. Websites are technology and therefore news regarding them is tech news. If you don’t want to see it then just use the content filters.

Is this company still worth “billions” with a b?
