With the Twitter limits today, I think we are already seeing the fallout begin.

It took me 3 minutes of slow loading to get this and this.

It’s been over half an hour now and I still have a blank twitter page, what if today is the day twitter actually goes down.

    I’m gonna point out that the author of that article closes out with this …

    In a worst-case scenario, Twitter may collapse or destabilise if certain elements within it go offline. Aside from Twitter trolls, this outcome would be in nobody’s best interest. So it’s more likely Twitter and Google Cloud will find a mutually agreeable way forward.

    And offers exactly zero information to back that warning up. Just a vague hint at bias, “Google better let Twitter not pay or no one will benefit”… Doesn’t sound very objective to me.

    Because I think it would be in quite a few people’s best interests for Twitter to shut down, maybe when it’s owner, but definitely a lot of users and the rest of us fed up with journalism being defined by Twitter.

      I fail to see how it’s in Google’s interest to put up with the Muskrat’s shenanigans. Twitter could collapse overnight and it would be no skin off Google’s teeth.
