My title is Senior Features Writer, which is a license to write about absolutely anything if I can connect it to technology (I can). Best of all, the archive is not just an info dump it can be searched with words, phrases, hashtags, and usernames. It also has interest and demographic information that Twitter has inferred about you and information about ads that you’ve seen or engaged with on Twitter. Your Twitter archive holds your profile information, address book, tweets, DMs, Moments, media (images, videos, and GIFs you’ve attached to tweets, DMs, and Moments), as well as a list of your followers a list of accounts you follow and lists that you’ve created, are a member of, or follow. It can hold memories, networking opportunities, and a path to finding those you’ll miss when all this is over. But whether you’re looking to leave or are worried about the site being shut down suddenly, which seems like more of a possibility by the hour, you might want to preserve your Twitter archive. While many Twitter users have fled, some of us have been steadfast in staying to at least witness what seems to be the site's demise. Instead of answering questions about verified scammers on the platform he purchased for $44 billion, Elon Musk is blocking those who ask them. Meanwhile a passable-at-first-glance verified Lockheed Martin account typed out: “We will be halting all weapons sales to Saudi Arabia, Israel, and the United States until further investigation into their record of human rights abuses.” And with a blue check next to its name got out “BREAKING: A second Tesla has hit the World Trade Center.” For now, Twitter Blue sign-ups are suspended following an onslaught of fake, but verified, accounts that popped up all over Twitter.Įli Lilly, for example, had to clarify (via its legitimate account) that it is not offering free insulin after a verified, but fake, account with the handle tweeted: “We are excited to announce insulin is free now.”
The Twitter Blue experiment has been started and stopped and started again so many times that we can't be sure where it'll stand once this story publishes.
Even Twitter Support can’t keep them straight. Two weeks into Elon Musk’s ownership, and policies are changing moment to moment. The only thing that’s verifiable about Twitter right now is that it’s a dumpster fire.
