There are several reasons, but also, the alternative apps are all still missing something …

Laut Gesetz müssen soziale Netzwerke in einer bestimmten Frist auf Beschwerden reagieren. Twitter hat nach Ansicht des Bundesamts für Justiz gegen diese Vorschriften verstoßen – nun drohen Konsequenzen.

It doesn’t benefit their careers, doesn’t drive traffic to their employers’ websites and opens them up not only to defamation litigation and charges of bias, but also to threats and risk of bodily harm

Elon Musk is now using the design of Twitter itself to make hilarious (?) jokes.

Elon Musk called the New York Times "hypocritical" on Sunday over the newspaper’s decision not to buy a Twitter Blue subscription while charging subscriptions for its own content.

In a bid to enhance the transparency of the app, tech billionaire and Twitter CEO is opening up a chunk of the company’s source code and algorithm for public inspection.This is part of the task to fulfill the promise made by Elon Musk who says he always wished to show the app’s users how it recommends tweets to people’s timelines.

Twitter has just released – as promised by owner Elon Musk – the source code for its recommendation algorithm, and there's already been a very interesting discovery in the code.After pouring through the code, multiple people found at least one really interesting portion of the code that shows Twitter is specifically tracking metrics for users broken up into four different groups:"power_user""republican""democrat"and"elon"That's right, Twitter is specifically tracking how Musk's tweets are performing, and it's been coded right into Twitter's algorithm.

Illustration: Alex Castro / The VergeTwitter has released the code that chooses which tweets show up on your timeline to GitHub and has put out a blog post explaining the decision.

The NY Times told as a reason, that it’s not paying for “check mark status,” as Twitter doesn’t verify anyone’s identity when they subscribe to Twitter Blue.
Also, New York Times, Los Angeles Times, and BuzzFeed will also not reimburse reporters for Twitter Blue for personal accounts.

The new API costs could have impacts for all third-party Twitter apps.

The New York Times also told that any reporter who chooses to pay for verification on their personal accounts won’t be reimbursed except in “rare instances where verified status would be essential for reporting purposes."

If Elon Musk was expecting many verified Twitter users to pay to keep their checkmarks, the reality is bound to be disappointing, new data has revealed.On April 1, Twitter is set to strip away the legacy verification checkmarks from the platform in favor of the paid checkmarks associated with Twitter Blue subscriptions.

Musk announced, that only verified Twitter accounts would be eligible to vote in polls starting April 15. Also, only verified accounts will be shown on Twitter's For You page, which displays a stream of tweets from recommended contents on Twitter.

Twitter maintains and monitors a list of “around 35 VIP users.” This list, per the report, offers increased visibility on the platform and includes journalists, celebrities, and Musk himself.

There is plenty of skepticism surrounding the exorbitantly priced Twitter feature called ‘Verification for Organizations’ but that’s not holding the app back from expanding further.

As Elon Musk promised, Twitter’s previous blue check-mark verification regime will soon be history.

Elon Musk is still the problem. There’s no getting around it. More than half of Twitter’s top 1,000 advertisers before the acquisition have stopped advertising on the platform as of February, according to data from digital marketing analysis firm Pathmatics.

Seit der Übernahme durch Elon Musk ist es für die Medienaufsichten schwieriger geworden, Twitters Einhaltung deutscher Gesetze zu überprüfen - oder überhaupt jemanden zu erreichen.

Twitter's looking to add an extra layer of verification to the Twitter Blue process. ID verified profiles will receive an additional badge.
