That Twitter employee right before doing it: "How can I ensure everyone has their accounts yanked and walked out of the building immediately the instant they give notice, forever?"
FTFY. If I was one of his co-workers I'd be PISSED.

But how will he get the word directly to the people without Twitter? The mean and evil MSM who don't know how to journalism as well as Trump will just lie and say he didn't eat his tendies.
he sounds just as retarded in person. trump is routinely in violation of twitters terms of service and should have had his account suspended a long time ago. just today he made a racist remark.
You're now one of 3 people I've blocked on Reddit. I don't even mind people sperging out at me, but what I do mind is just the complete lack of real arguments.
A stupid and childish thing for the now ex-employee to do.
Twitter is terrible and I can't wait for it to die. Aside from it's questionable "free speech" policies, it's web interface is terrible and the company fucked over 3rd party developers by limiting the API, ensuring that no one could release a decent 3rd party client.
the company fucked over 3rd party developers by limiting the API, ensuring that no one could release a decent 3rd party client
Wow, a company decided not to develop functionality that would allow others to undercut it's market share? Color me surprised!
I'm guessing you're another dumbshit regurgitating things he's seen other dumbshits say, because if you knew what you were talking about, you would realize how stupid your comment is. Twitter's entire business model revolves around 140 character comments. Allowing someone to access theese comments via API calls would destroy their business model.
3rd party desktop clients were the only thing that made using Twitter bearable because they allowed you to organize your Twitter feed anyway you liked and improved search.
They werenât undercutting twitterâs market share at all, they were improving the user experience at a time when twitterâs web and mobile clients were pure ass. The problem is, they still are but now you canât use an alternative client
They werenât undercutting twitterâs market share at all
Any platform that can independently curate content from Twitter is undercutting their market share. Twitter makes money from advertisements. If a platform can access it's content, that also means it has control over advertisement visibility. The only reason they originally put up with this is because they were trying to establish themselves.
its not so much the api as the terms of service around it i think. basically there used to be loads of 3rd party desktop clients with fancy features and they were the big thing during twitters rise to power, then twitter killed them off one way or another when they got really big.
They limited the number of unique connections a 3rd party client could make to the API, which basically stopped 3rd party clients from being able to refresh their feeds.
Is the last name made up too? I can't tell because wikipedia is so strict about not deadnaming anyone, including boring white girls in their early 20s.
If you read the article, it says Twitter won't be releasing any more info. If the name does get out, there are plenty of people who hate Trump's guts and would probably hire them just for that.
Nah, I'm pretty sure that they'd much prefer to adore that person from a distance, without giving them access to their servers and customer accounts. As will their customers btw.
Yeah, because the person cray cray enough to delete the president's account out of spite will never fuck with less important clients if they earn their ire somehow.
Yeah, they probably won't? This seems like a very specific case of "fuck Trump" not a serial account deleter. Also there are a bunch of jobs where access to people's social media accounts isn't an aspect of the job at all. Actually, most jobs are like that.
Yeah, they probably won't? This seems like a very specific case of "fuck Trump" not a serial account deleter.
More like, "fuck my employer". Come on, would you hire that person, personally? If you're too inexperienced to answer, say that.
Also there are a bunch of jobs where access to people's social media accounts isn't an aspect of the job at all. Actually, most jobs are like that.
Yeah, right, specifically for a person whose previous job was basically a paid moderator with all of the access to people's accounts.
I mean, they are not going to get any sort of similar job for sure. They aren't going to get a job flipping burgers either because the 100% anti-Trump burger joint owner will be concerned that they spit into maga-hat-wearing customers or something.
They could get a job as a back-end programmer... not. First of all because they are a fucking paid moderator, not a programmer, second because in all real life enterprises there's quite a shitton of access to sensitive stuff you get by being even a measly tester, so someone who demonstrated that they don't care about customer confidentiality neither about company's image wrt that, will be blackballed.
I guess we'll all have to see. This may surprise you but a lot of people's dislike for Trump will make them overlook that this is absolutely not something you should do.
I'm pretty sure we'll never see anything because no way that person doxxes themselves.
My point was that yes, a lot of people hate Trump a lot, but on the other hand people appear to have two distinct modes of moral reasoning, so while it's expected to have a lot of people to declare that anonymous person a goddamn American hero that deserves all the best in the abstract, most will be much less enthusiastic when asked if they want to give their shipping address to a company that hired that person, for example.
You best brush up on how references work. Ex employers can do shit all.
Also, in the impossibly improbable scenario where the hiring manager finds out, it's a 50/50 (49/51?) shot if they'll be pissed or offer the job on the spot.
I don't know how much access they had, but apparently it was more than the average employee:
âA lotâ of employees can suspend a userâs account, a former senior Twitter employee told Buzzfeed. But far fewer -- only hundreds -- have the power to deactivate one.
I can only hope that whoever does have access will do this in the future.
the ability to deactivate the account is a far different ballgame than the ability to use an account. I highly doubt they even have a gateway integrated for that kind of thing
Well, I mean, if people like /u/spez (and engineers at reddit with access to production data) are able to edit comments, there are probably a couple of people that can post/edit tweets like that, don't you think?
he didn't delete it. he likely flagged it as spam. i dunno how people imagine these services work but yes, hiding an account, and tweeting on behalf of it are universes apart in every sense.
besides the algorithm that determines top-level comment order, it seems to be working pretty well.
it updates in "real time," it has way more traffic yet doesn't go down twice a month, their video player actually works- compared to reddit, they really have their shit together
One of my favorite examples of presidental trolling was when Reagan did basically exactly that. He was getting ready to give a speech from the oval office. The cameras were set up and he knew the press was already watching the feed, but it wasn't yet being broadcast to the american people. So, he pretended to be practicing his speech and read out a line about how he'd ordered the military to first-strike the soviet union.
Employees have access to ban accounts, for obvious reasons, but they don't have the ability to tweet from them, also for obvious reasons.
But yeah if he had access to that account he could have fucked shit up pretty bad. Tweet something like "launched preemptive nukes at NK, they'll be there in 20 minutes!"

Given his anime obsession it may as well be that inferior 2D shit
1 farox 2017-11-03
Oh fuck, I almost forgot that people back then didnt have vr.

A lot of the games were retro porno titles and eroge
He seemed to prefer the DS library though if I'm not mistaken

TBH anyone who unironically believes this is a retard.
Anyone who supports the mayocide won't be part of one of the worst of mayo subcultures.
1 Frari 2017-11-03
ooops, someones name accidentally got added to the no fly list. Good luck trying to fix that.
1 grungebot5000 2017-11-03
whose name?
1 OnionBits 2017-11-03
Baron Trump
1 shallowm 2017-11-03
The employee could have done so much better.
Here's a good idea:
Imagine the drama that would result? He could have possibly started a war if he tweeted right.
1 neutralvoter 2017-11-03
anyone that thinks the employee would have been able to tweet as Trump just because they work at Twitter is a fucking idiot
1 shallowm 2017-11-03
I don't know how much access they had, but apparently it was more than the average employee:
I can only hope that whoever does have access will do this in the future.
1 neutralvoter 2017-11-03
the ability to deactivate the account is a far different ballgame than the ability to use an account. I highly doubt they even have a gateway integrated for that kind of thing
1 shallowm 2017-11-03
Well, I mean, if people like /u/spez (and engineers at reddit with access to production data) are able to edit comments, there are probably a couple of people that can post/edit tweets like that, don't you think?
1 Redactor0 2017-11-03
I would just take that as a sign that Reddit really does not have its shit together.
1 -absolutego- 2017-11-03
They never really have. Even twitter might finally post a profit this year, I don't think reddit has ever been anything besides a money pit.
1 ltedt 2017-11-03
I bet the higher-ups on reddit earn a few bucks on (((advertisement))), that is in almost every post from r/all
1 grungebot5000 2017-11-03
people literally couldn't give less of a shit about security on Reddit though
they use Twitter for their careers, and things like being elected president
1 die_rattin 2017-11-03
Deactivate account -> create new one with same name -> start WW3
1 Todd_Bronson 2017-11-03
Yea the "support" employee just has full access to delete his account. Totally different. Duh.
1 neutralvoter 2017-11-03
he didn't delete it. he likely flagged it as spam. i dunno how people imagine these services work but yes, hiding an account, and tweeting on behalf of it are universes apart in every sense.
1 brokenvibrator 2017-11-03
yeah, "hurr durr what is access control"

You are assuming that twitter is coded well.
Reddit is coded poorly enough that admins can modify user comments, so who knows.
1 grungebot5000 2017-11-03
besides the algorithm that determines top-level comment order, it seems to be working pretty well.
it updates in "real time," it has way more traffic yet doesn't go down twice a month, their video player actually works- compared to reddit, they really have their shit together
1 GadolBoobies 2017-11-03
I wish there was a good sub for that.
1 headasplodes 2017-11-03
They'd get serious jail time if they were retarded enough to actually do that
1 nicethingyoucanthave 2017-11-03
One of my favorite examples of presidental trolling was when Reagan did basically exactly that. He was getting ready to give a speech from the oval office. The cameras were set up and he knew the press was already watching the feed, but it wasn't yet being broadcast to the american people. So, he pretended to be practicing his speech and read out a line about how he'd ordered the military to first-strike the soviet union.
The press flipped. the. fuck. out.
1 Canvasch 2017-11-03
Employees have access to ban accounts, for obvious reasons, but they don't have the ability to tweet from them, also for obvious reasons.
But yeah if he had access to that account he could have fucked shit up pretty bad. Tweet something like "launched preemptive nukes at NK, they'll be there in 20 minutes!"
1 Prysorra 2017-11-03
I know I'm late to the comment party, but is anyone else fucking amazed at how little sound The_Loud_Noises is making about this?
It's fucking weird how calm they are about it.
1 lordlorb 2017-11-03
I think I see him over there setting fire to that orphanage for black children.
Am I claiming that all trump supporters are racist child murderers?
Yes I am fight me.
1 grungebot5000 2017-11-03
they might not have noticed, it was pretty quick

1 snoozeflu 2017-11-03
These 2 statements contradict each other. They know exactly who did it.
1 aliceunknown 2017-11-03
This is obv a coverup by the Jew media.
1 die_rattin 2017-11-03
Or they don't want this dude getting death threats
1 grungebot5000 2017-11-03
i think they mean it's unclear to everybody outside of twitter
1 WorldStarCroCop 2017-11-03
I just logged onto my twitter account for the first time in years.
In other news I logged off of my twitter account for the first time in years, eat shit Barack Obama, preside over these balls.
