Twitters loss of revenue…

Particularly adverting revenue which comes from tracking user’s activity across multiple apps took a major hit when Apple introduced the “do not follow” preference for all iPhone users.
Facebook, Instagram, Google and other social media companies have also taken a big hit.

One wonders how they might find alternative sources of revenue because we are talking in the hundreds of billions in loss of revenue for each company per quarter.

If Elon doesn’t allow Twitter to keep a check on hate speech and right wing extremism it will only cause further pain for Twitter by driving away advertisers and killing vital revenue streams.

I would imagine that most users on this forum that use iPhones are happy to keep their app usage data private. I know I am.

So this is now being compared in revenue from one smart phone company, social media platform to another... of course it is. I might suggest we are letting them invade our lives too much and all of them need to learn their audience more, but all of them rather have an audience listening to them. It's rather ironic when they battle what constitues free speech, they mean speech they approve and want to brand themselves around.

@thewindupbirdchronicles Free speech is “relative”. We are all entitled to have our say but some forms of speech can be harmful to others or to companies brand names or products which can often mean that companies will often seek to distance themselves from a person they sponsor by stopping any payments to that person because of the harmful statements they choose to make online that impact other people.

I don’t have a problem with those consequences.
