As somebody who works in tech, you'd be amazed at the difference between internal and external websites.
Internal here refers to company only websites, only accessible to employees while connected to their company intranet, with the exception of sites used to register software tokens used for VPN access.
External refers to websites accessible on the Internet at large, intended for customers.
Internal websites are often designed to perform a function and perform it well. Anecdotally, I've seen internal websites that were designed in the Geocities days and it shows. They also require Internet Explorer to function properly in many cases.
External websites are designed for function, performance, while also looking professional (This definition changes weekly/monthly in many cases).
There are some companies that pay UX designers to clean up the looks of internal websites (or transition them to modern platforms) but there are many more that do not.
To me, it makes sense that an admin panel might not see major changes from the early days of Twitter (except possibly the addition of those buttons which would be used to control content, if they do indeed exist).
Why change something people are already used to if it will require retraining and time to master its use? From a profitability standpoint, it makes more sense not to change it.
True but if it’s bogus then why sanction accounts that share it? Just state that it’s bogus. They lie for a living. How hard would it be to tell everyone it’s bogus and who would in the media would call them out? The fact that they’re actively trying to suppress it makes me believe it’s legit. I mean we know by their actions that they have the capability and do it.
that's not the case it was prove true already. anyone can edit any web page using dev tool console in every browser, that is not what happened here. Wired and other publications have already confirmed.
beware of the new smart folks who think everything is fake, instead of digging and confirming
The explanation lines up with reports on social media and at Motherboard that indicated the hackers had access to internal Twitter tools, rather than attacking individual accounts.
Shitter using the term BLACKlisted while they were trying to ban its use!
They don't really believe in these things. They're just saying it publicly to virtue signal.
Maybe a red herring.
Normies see the screenshot and wonder what the outrage is about.
Twitter says "Were changing our language not to use white/black list!!".
Normie moves on, and the media buries another story.
Wasn't exactly a secret they were manipulating trends.. they sell trend spots.. same as reddit.
It matters when they claim to be a platform, yet are acting in the way of a publisher. More concrete evidence of it.
tip of the internet ice-burg, there are thousands of other sites doing the same thing.
Better question... Which site don't do this? Certainly not anything mainstream.
I think the days of big platforms for all people is over.
The future is sites like thedonald.win. Small tribes to take about specific topics.
Liberals will get to keep the big dying platforms. We get the shinny new ones.
This is like proving the sun rises in the East and sets in the West. Even those not paying attention know it.
Fun fact: almost no one is paying attention.
Texans, Please ask Ted Cruz to start an investigation immediately. https://www.cruz.senate.gov/?p=email_senator
"Blacklist" is also now a banned term lmao
It might have a different meaning for Jack. His masturbation account list is my guess?
What am I looking at
it looks like a pre-built template. twitter is known for having good UI. another reason i'm staying skeptical on this

Can confirm. I spend NO TIME on internal UI's, I just dump controls where they make sense, arrange them logically, and that is it.
Where is the anal probe button?
Congress will be providing that soon.

Thank you!
They are a publisher. ACTION MUST BE TAKEN. They cannot receive protection as a "platform" under the law when they are PROVEN to be publishers.
