I have heard another leader in the Legal department say that because of the tight SLA’s between product inception > launch, Legal will “have to shift the burden to engineers” to self-certify compliance with FTC requirements and other laws. This will put huge amount of personal, professional and legal risk onto engineers: I anticipate that all of you will de pressured by management into pushing out changes that will likely lead to major incidents.
All of this is extremely dangerous for our users. Also, given that the FTC can fine Twitter BILLIONS of dollars pursuant to the FTC Consent Order, extremely detrimental to Twitter’s longevity as a platform. Our users deserve so much better than this. If you feel uncomfortable about anything you’re being asked to do, you can call Twitter’s Ethics Hotline at 275-4843 or submit a report at ethicshelpline.twitter.com. Please also note the FTC’s number is: 1-877-FTC-HELP. You may also remember that Mudge reached out to httos://whistlebloweraid.org

elon: put it on my tab
Good. I want this platform to burn.
so it's better to move slow and sink the whole ship? gov logic
🎶 look here comes the consequence, of my actions chasing me right now 🎶 - Turn to Chapter 11, its a good story, bit scary 😱 but good.
Can you please create a hashtag for 'verge posts on elon' so I can mute it?
Elon shirts
The Verge is sickly obsessed with trashing Twitter lately. Seems like bosses are pissed that woke dogmas are not the only allowed things to say here anymore.
Well then he's fired!
I kind of love the thought that Elon's impulse decision to buy Twitter will bankrupt him. He already wasted $44b on driving it into the ground, how much further can he go?!
Everyday a new twitter controversy!
Well .. he's not wrong. Western Tech had enough time - to prove its hypocrisy. The moment Elon came on board without resistance, it sealed the point of no return. If anything, they would only find reasons to make competitors/foreign tech look worse w/o addressing domestic issues.
😓 ouch🫣
Oooooh shit elon’s definitely going to get fined really bad LOL
Liberal lawyer
Well deserved
Always the bitter employees providing cannon fodder. Especially lawyers
