The CTA will no longer use X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, to send service updates and alerts to passengers. In an announcement in recent days, the CTA said that it had decided to suspend its usage of the accounts because of policy changes at X that left “riders at risk of being misinformed” about service disruptions. “The CTA suspended the use of its CTA and CTAAlert accounts on Twitter because recent changes to the platform put riders at risk of being misinformed about real-time service updates,” the agency said in a statement. “The decision to suspend…

WE all know that Andy Murray is busy coaching his old rival Novak Djokovic in Australia – but the Scot has still found time to give his verdict on the man everyone’s talking about. That’s right. The three-time Grand Slam winner has poked fun at Elon Musk over his seemingly endless posting on Twitter/X. Like many of us, the former world number one seemed to notice that the owner of the social media platform kept cropping up on his profile. (Image: Twitter/X) Murray said: “The top 17 posts on my Twitter feed are from Elon Musk. #Interesting algorithm he’s created.”…

I’m not really sure why Elon Musk is so annoyed by clutter in the main X feed, but for some reason, he wants to cut out as much as absolutely possible, in order to make it a more “clean”, simple UI. Which might be more attractive, I guess, but… Musk’s latest suggestion along this line is to remove the date/time markers from the main X feed, so that you just have a clear, scrolling row of posts, with the main post itself being the focus. As reported by Fortune: “The proposal of removing date stamps would be limited to the…

Elon Musk’s X is continuing its battle against parody accounts and those seeking to impersonate others. When the blue tick was made available to all for the price of $8 a month, it resulted in some being able to impersonate larger accounts without a great way to see which one is real.Since then, parody accounts have had to put parody somewhere in their username, and now another measure is being taken. As outlined in new X guidelines, a Parody Account label, fit with a comedy mask, has been placed on some accounts already.It appears on both posts and profiles, and…

To avoid violating X’s Authenticity policy, users can now add a ‘Parody’ label to the fake accounts they create. This article was originally published by a www.pcmag.com . Read the Original article here. .

X (formerly known as Twitter) has announced plans to label parody accounts. The social media site’s official Safety account has shared a post announcing that labels for parody accounts will be rolled out in the future. “We’re rolling out profile labels for parody accounts to clearly distinguish these types of accounts and their content on our platform,” the post reads. “We designed these labels to increase transparency and to ensure that users are not deceived into thinking such accounts belong to the entity being parodied. “Parody labels will be applied to both posts and accounts on X to clearly demonstrate…

Numbers of users migrating from X.com, formerly Twitter, to the new decentralised social media platform of Bluesky have soared since the US election. The platform, which was partly set up by Twitter founder Jack Dorsey in 2022, said it has gained 700,000 new users in the week following Donald Trump’s victory, mostly from people in the US and UK. Membership on Bluesky has jumped to 14.5 million, up from around 13 million in late October and nine million in September. “We’re excited to welcome all of these new people, ranging from Swifties to wrestlers to city planners,” Bluesky spokesperson Emily…

There’s been a lot of discussion post-election about a “mass exodus” of users from X, with reportedly record numbers of people deactivating their X accounts. But is that true? Is X really losing millions of users everyday, putting it on a fast track to irrelevance? Well, maybe. The truth is, nobody knows, other than those working for X, and they’re not likely to be sharing any bad news about the app. And they don’t have to, because X is no longer a publicly listed company, as Twitter had been, which means that it’s under no obligation to share anything about…
