  • Yes. Seriously. And if x wants to operate in the EU then it has to follow EU law.

    Consumer protection still exists and what x is doing with it’s ‘verified’ badges is just straight up deception. The only thing it verifies is that that account has paid x money.

    Second, relating to transparency in advertising. Hybrid warfare is a major threat to the stability of Europe’s society, institutions and democracy. A major vector for that is propaganda carried out through Facebook and X. Both through fake users and adverts.

    The EU should very much take this seriously and I’m glad that they are.













  • I had to use teams with multiple accounts with multiple organisations. Sometimes my account is added to their organisation, sometimes I used their provided account. Microsoft was going for a one sign in approach and the whole thing just totally failed to account for my situation. It never successfully let me switch accounts, running multiple concurrently certainly never worked.

    With one situation the work around was to follow the original organisation invite again, reset my password then proceed with my meeting. I’d do this maybe ten times a day sometimes if I had to bounce between different companies.

    And all controls are basic as fuck. It’s a business tool that thinks its target market is my grandma. All controls were apple-ified. I’d get a long error code and I couldn’t select it to copy and paste it, and if I clicked off the window the notification displaying the error code would go away, so i’d have to print screen the error code, paste out somewhere, and then type it out manually into Google to try and diagnose. This was a solved problem 30 years ago. Why are we going backwards?

    Anyway, rant over. It’s a pos. Slack is light years ahead.
