Yup.
Imagine your facebook-addicted uncle complaining about the woke platform that he uses all day every day. Then imagine he has the money to buy facebook, as well as the hubris to think he could do a better job running it. That’s basically what happened here.
Serious question, isn’t this going to force them to release their trademark on the word “tweet”?
