A system not designed for users but for advertisers and owners and more evidently recently their owner’s unsavoury ideas. We seem in some […]
My use of Twitter has reduced massively of late. I still follow the odd link to see content. This is often in an iOS app. These usually open in the app’s ‘own’ browser rather than jump to Safari. This leads to a login page and I give up. 🤷🏻♂️
