@ItsjustJules I didn't deactivate. I plan not to, though my usage does tend to wax and wane. I got on Twitter in 2009 and I'm sure there are many months during that time where I didn't log in once. If it went away, I wouldn't miss it.

@PeaceMob @ItsjustJules My concern would be from a security standpoint. As they cut staff in that area, expect a black hat to copy the Twitter database of users.

Also, for those that think deleting works, I have a git repo that wants to talk to you. 😅

@feloneouscat @ItsjustJules I'm not too worried about it from a security standpoint. I understand the risk (I am an infosec pro, actually, so this is my area of expertise). I'm sure most of the controls that protect confidentiality of data are technical, i.e. they don't require people do "do" things (applying encryption, for instance), but they may end up light on the threat hunting/response side of the house, and could be slower to respond to potentially malicious events.

@feloneouscat @ItsjustJules Despite how reckless the current owner may seem, I doubt he's going to expose himself to legal jeopardy over the privacy of consumer data. He knows how expensive that could be.

@PeaceMob @ItsjustJules Tesla Autopilot has killed 11 people.

This isn’t even killing people.

You are personally shielded by it being a corporation.

The WORST that could happen to Twitter is it shutters a little earlier.

@feloneouscat @PeaceMob @ItsjustJules 11 people killed while autopilot was on is quite different than autopilot killing 11 people.
Autopilot saves lives all the time, you just can't document the accident prevented as easily, but the overall numbers back that up.

@TomHarriss @PeaceMob @ItsjustJules The point was exposure to legal jeopardy — Tesla should never had untested software on the road. I never signed an agreement to participate.

Sadly, Tesla will never be held responsible.
