I know there is a lot going on at Twitter right now, but here's one more thing. Twitter is ignoring #GDPR requests from people to delete their DMs.

At the moment, when you press delete on a Twitter DM (an individual message or conversation) the DM isn't actually deleted from Twitter's servers, just your inbox view.

So people in Europe have been making requests for Twitter to blitz all their messages. It hasn't properly answered them. And now regulators are looking at it

Earlier today Elon Musk said that my ban was temporary, 45 min later he denied my appeal to reinstate my account and confirmed that I am *permanently* banned. The email I just received says the decision cannot be reversed.
I have never once violated Twitters rules or terms of service. I’ve never had a single tweet flagged, my account was permanently banned with no warning and with no reason, after I reached out to Musk for comment.

Mercedes Puts Faster Acceleration Behind A Subscription Paywall techdirt.com/2022/11/28/merced… #news #subscriptionservice #righttorepair #electriccars #heatedseats #automotive #ownership #mercedes #hardware #warranty #cars #ftc #1


In fantastic news for authors and the publishing industry, Penguin Random House is NOT going to appeal the court's decision to block its acquisition of Simon & Schuster. This merger would have seen two of the 'Big 5' publishing corporations combined, giving the new company a dangerous amount of influence on publishing worldwide, having a detrimental effect on authors' payments and readers' choices. SO GLAD IT'S SCRAPPED FOR GOOD.

@stim I didn't think Jesse's take on Mastodon was particularly informed or thoughtful, either.

Though I think he's right that #Twitter's role in relation to #news journalists has been outsized for its audience. That's part of what made it especially attractive to journos: it gave many of them more influence and bigger audiences.

And sometimes Jesse can be bit of a jerk, I think! But...I finally started donating this month after listening for years. Independent news is important.
