Does it feel like your X account belongs to you and you can do whatever you want with it? That’s not true, according to a new court filing from the social media company formerly known as Twitter. It’s an argument that X is making in order to throw a wrench in The Onion’s recent purchase of InfoWars, the conspiracy theory media company run by Alex Jones. And it’s a great reminder that you don’t actually own what you think you own in the digital age.
I hadn’t logged into Twitter in years. Just signed in to delete my account. He can have it back.
You think it’s really deleted in the back end? Adorable
…I don’t care.
I left Facebook but I left my account a husk. If the last thing they ever know is that I went to Krispy Kreme and got a pumpkin spice donut in 2017, then that’s cool with me.
I kept it because occasionally a dude needs a $50 TV and it’s the best place to find a used one.
"After eating the donut, the trail goes cold, Mr. Zuckerberg. We just don’t know!*
It’s cute that you think Facebook only knows things about you if you post them on Facebook lol
It’s cute that you think I even have it installed.
Facebook tracks you even if you don’t have an account.
Looks like pretty basic and easy shit to avoid. I can’t speak for the advertisement part. I don’t see ads.
It’s cute that you think no one else has done these things unless you specifically told them about it.
You missed the point, congrats.
No, I don’t. But that’s another data point for them to see people leaving their service.
same, deleted an inactive account.
