Signal has removed the "add random person to chat" button. That shouldn't happen anymore.
The Omegle of Signal. Or the "I'm Feeling Lucky" of Signal.
It's dicks, it's always dicks
But did they give rid of the "add entire database worth of data to the current message" button?
Are you serious man? That was like top secret! It only shows up if you leave your phone idle for ten seconds
You have to swipe in the shape of a swastica to enable it.
Fr, maybe someone magically sucked themselves into a group chat with Elon because that's a thing that happens all the time.
I hate it when that happens!
All press inquiries will be answered with a poop emoji.
1/3 of all humans on earth use Twitter? Bullshit.
At least half of those accounts have to be bots and alts and whatever spam garbage.
Correct.
As of Jan 2025, X (formerly Twitter) had around 335.7 million users, so how is it possible that data from 2.8 billion users has been leaked? One possible explanation is that the dataset includes aggregated or historical data, such as bot accounts that were created and later banned, inactive or deleted accounts that still lingered in historical records, or old data that was merged with newer data, increasing the total number of records.
The truly surprising thing is that so many people still use Twitter.
It's beyond me how they can still do so in accordance with their personal values.
network effect
Further examination of the leak showed that at 3% of those accounts were run by real people. 50% of those accounts had mail.ru email addresses.
/s but I'm guessing my numbers aren't far off.
I won't be surprised if my data is caught up in that even though I deleted my account last year (after not using it really since it was bought out).
I don't trust any of these companies to actually, really, for-real-this-time delete anything, ever.
DOJ to prosecute for release of classified information
Haha, not mine. removed. I've deleted it years ago.
