Good. Take it down, google
Yeah, I hope that fucking platform finally dies for real
And Reddit should follow it in the grave so that everybody switches to Lemmy
what happened to twitter not paying rent? did he ever pay that yet?
could result in the social media company’s trust and safety teams being crippled
If they weren’t already…
because of course they are lmao

Is that the only consequence? What happens if they don’t pay at all, what would Google do? Genuinely asking, I have no clue.
Have to think they would turn access off.
I expect they’re under some kind of enterprise tier deal so I imagine they’ll get quite a few calls from their account manager before inevitably they just shut off access. This kind of thing happens more often than you’d expect when a company has cashflow issues, they’re probably using many other suppliers as free lines of credit as well.
MX records show Twitter is using Google Workspace too. I wonder if Google would threaten shutting down email and document access in addition to GCP.
How does that even work when they don’t pay? Do they take them to courts?
Depends on the terms/contract. Since its twitter I’d think they’d have a contract, which states duration and how much they pay. Once they don’t pay, as long as the contract states they can cutoff service, well they cutoff service and/or servers. But again, depends on what’s in said contract.
Ok thank you, that clarifies it a bit :)
The faster Twitter dies, the better. Reddit has a complicated history, but Twitter has done nothing but warp people’s sense of self worth and ideas of what social media is and what their presence should be online. It’s a legacy of violence upon the mind
Oh dear. Birdy going up in smoke. Nothing of (recent) value…
