I’ve started tracking @elonmusk’s suspension reversals in preparation for the coming “general amnesty”, and they’re already the brand safety nightmare you’d expect: gist.github.com/travisbrown/c9… I’m sure that advertisers will be happy to know that in addition to Trump and Andrew Tate being back on the platform, we also get the Gamergate UKIP guy, a bunch of TERFs, some QAnon shit, neo-Nazi Brett Stevens, and @/buttsex1488.

Just published a list of 20,875 previously-unverified Twitter accounts that have paid for a blue check, sorted by follower count: gist.github.com/travisbrown/c4… There are some obvious ones (the @SethDillon properties, all the crypto shit), some super cringey ones (e.g. @AbigailShrier), some funny ones (a bunch of incel-grifters with names like “Path To Manliness”), some brands (not sure how @RemingtonArms wasn’t verified?).

So many right-wingers on Twitter scrambling to memory-hole their interactions with Roman McClay today. It’s not going to work. We saw you.
