Between this breach, the hacking of Jack Dorsey, the “rogue employee” account deactivation of Donald Trump, and I’m sure more that I’m not aware of, would any reasonable IT/security person claim that Twitter takes security seriously?

I believe I’m quite right in saying that Twitter as a platform has been one of the most damaging things to happen to our democracy in recent history. Its toxic effects on discourse and polarization are well documented.

With that, and the revelation that they couldn’t take security less seriously if they tried, I would implore all reading to delete their Twitter accounts.
