"Well we brought it back up, but for some reason it's full of racist vitriol and CSAM now."

"Oh, no, it was like that before."

I don't publish anymore in X, so I don't mind it. And by the number of points, I can see it is pretty obvious no one cares anymore. The owner is giving a great lesson on how to destroy a social network, while alienating the remaining users.

Looking at DownDetector, I suspect a CloudFlare outage as there's some ominous climbing red lines for multiple services.

Currently it looks to me like X, Grok, CloudFlare and AWS are affected.

Are we going to see separate articles on BBC news for each of Cloudflare, Docker, T-Mobile, Verizon, AWS all apparently affected by the same outage? Leading with the CEO's name?

lol of course not.

Can we prepend the owner of every company moving forward?

100% uptime is a social construct.
