As I’ve said before: when the director of Children of Men was asked how he made his future fascist Britain feel so grounded and authentic, he said he looked at the country in 2005 and asked himself - what would happen if it continued just like this, on this precise trajectory.

Cheap labour comes with a cost for the unprivileged. If you're all about money and live like a king, then just don't go to any country in the EU. Equality and fair pay is important. You are still OK to have ambitions, but you need to work harder for it.

Merging the legacy blue tick and the paid-for blue tick is a masterstroke of trolling, it must be said. It does kinda render the whole "why is this account verified" dialog box redundant, though.

According to leaks, Twitter’s verification system doesn’t support mass deletion of legacy blue checks which is actually understandable. Why would you need to design the need to bulk unverify all the verified users in the system? No one anticipated the whims of a genius CEO.

no, i didn't ask that, because i already know that it can. why wouldn't you research this BEFORE you released the tool? why would you publish a blog post advertising the tool that shows how it characterizes a union strike as a "risky protest"?

You also asked: "Can this be used against unions organizing protests against their company?" This is not a use case we have seen. We are going to do more research next week and determine if organizations rely on news and journalists to discover strikes.

In software engineering I tend to have a rule that if a lot of your senior engineers don’t buy into an practice, pattern or tool, you should reflect over forcing it. They’re smart people who are probably not resistant for fun, but because they don’t see the benefits you do. There may be a couple of ways to shift the debate if after reflection you think it is still important to drive the idea.
