IBM, a major advertiser on X, has pulled its spending from the social media platform, whose employees are grappling with what to tell its other advertisers, according to internal messages.

To be clear: Musk endorsed a tweet which used a false antisemitic conspiracy theory to tell people why "Hitler was right"

Social media company losing a lot of money as a result is.

No, it really isn't. A social media company's income is business or financial related, not technology.

Does that mean any business that has a web platform or an app is valid content for this sub?

[–] MsPenguinette@lemmy.world 19 points 2 years ago

Twitter doesn't just have a web platform, it is a web platform and used to be one of the largest. But I'd say that yeah, tech companies fall into my personal idea of what this sub is

So where is the "technology" in that? Just because it's a social media company? There's dozens of those now, so what? A company implementing a new API or front end website redesign or new service that uses technology is technology. Not this. This is just general shit. The Internet boom was in the 90s. You may have had a point back then when this stuff was actually new.
