Twitter has never made money. If you took all the losses, it's a net loser. Twitter could absolutely fix this. I think the worst is it doesn't flame other people. And then say, pondits get involved and attack based on that. It's kind of fascinating how easy it is to troll someone. A couple who ran a niche newsletter about e-commerce and eBay is suing after they say employees tried to intimidate them into removing negative content from their publication. Seven employees pleaded guilty individually and the couple is also suing eBay as a whole.
Kara and Scott discuss the impacts of a Texas social media law, and California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s bill to protect children’s data. Also, Adobe acquired Figma. Plus, a mega stock crash at Meta, a bizarre harassment case for eBay, and Russian troll’s impact on the Women’s March. Friend of Pivot, Marta Tellado, stops by to talk about her new book, “Buyer Aware: Harnessing Our Consumer Power for a Safe, Fair, and Transparent Marketplace.”
