It's really rare to see Musk soft...
Lao Ma urgently tweeted this morning, and is looking for a vice president of PR online!
Looking at the comment area again, it is full of sarcasm and yin and yang:
An automatic reply
will do the job just fine.
(I can) I'm good at writing condescending, flippant replies.
Are you willing to step aside?
Oh, what the hell is going on here?
It turns out that in the past few days, Twitter users suddenly discovered a creepy privacy leak bug:
Tweets posted in the Twitter Circle will be recommended to strangers!
Someone said that he sent a tweet that only one friend could see, and two strangers liked it.
And it's not an isolated case, many people have found that their information flow has brushed the content of people they don't follow.
You know, the main function of the Twitter friend circle is privacy, which allows people to post some content that only their friends can see, such as gossip, complaints, and even private photos... As a result, the privacy is gone now. ? ? ?
This time, the users were shocked and began to shout:
Twitter circles are no longer private! The bird app is malfunctioning!
And when a reporter asked Twitter officials to verify this incident, the response they got was...a poop emoji 
?
This is the latest version of Twitter's official email autoresponder. Since taking over Twitter last October, Musk has stopped Twitter's news team from responding to emails.
As for the team to deal with the public relations crisis, I'm sorry, they have been laid off a long time ago.
Currently, this bug has existed for several days, has it been fixed? Unknown, at least users are still in panic.
But judging from Musk's latest trends, this "Twitter crisis" has made my brother a little restless.
Bugs or consequences of privacy features fly all over the sky
Let's first look at the cause of the matter.
According to reports from several users, in their for you information flow, they found some private posts.
Generally speaking, these posts are posted in the Twitter circle, which can be understood as similar to the function of the circle of friends, and only the people you choose can see the content.
But the for you feed shows the public tweets recommended by the algorithm.
The implication is that private posts that should have been protected have been leaked.
A TechCrunch reporter said he himself had seen tweets from strangers in his feed. The retweet button for this type of tweet is inactive, and if clicked, it disappears.
Then he went to the user to check whether this tweet was originally posted only in his small circle, and his answer was yes.
Because this kind of bug may cause personal privacy to be exposed to strangers who have never met before, many users are now posting appeals: Don't post random things in the Twitter circle!
Some people also said, isn't this a proper data leak? According to EU regulations, it should be fined, right?
Another developer said that when Twitter opened up its recommendation algorithm some time ago, it seemed that it did not completely filter out private content.
In fact, since February, there have been voices saying that the privacy protection of the Twitter circle is not very solid, and a warning has been issued to "pay attention to the content posted on the Twitter circle". Earlier, it was reported that some security features in the iOS version of Twitter did not work.
These small bugs always appear on the platform, and many people attribute the reason to Musk's layoffs... resulting in Twitter not having enough manpower to maintain.
Former Twitter Security Trust Director Yoel Roth (Yoel Roth) said in a speech that Twitter may not crash suddenly, but the user experience will decline over time, and issued a warning:
If your tweets are out of protection, do it right away, as this is a sign of bigger problems.
Now, it all seems to be coming true.
Some netizens saw that Musk was recruiting a vice president of PR, and also left a message saying, maybe you need an engineer.
Ex-Twitter CEO sues company for unpaid legal fees
Back to Musk’s sudden hiring.
It's not just Twitter that's caught fire in the backyard recently. Tesla has also been exposed to a privacy leak scandal, and videos in users' cars were disseminated by employees.
Therefore, Musk's recruitment, for a while, really makes people unable to tell which company it is recruiting for...
But in comparison, there may be more public relations crises on Twitter.
While the privacy turmoil was raging, it was reported that the former Twitter CEO, who was fired by Musk, sued the company.
Parag Agrawal and two other executives claim they have been investigated by agencies such as the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Department of Justice for their roles as Twitter executives. Fees and expenses should be borne by Twitter, but Twitter rejected the request for reimbursement of more than $1 million .
Therefore, the three chose to go to court with their old club.
Their lawsuit asks Twitter to prepay all legal fees incurred by the plaintiffs to date, and also to reimburse them for the costs they incurred in suing Twitter this time. It is also required to "declare that the plaintiff is entitled to pay in advance any costs and expenses associated with the litigation."
For this matter, Twitter's current official response is still an automatic reply: 
.
It is reported that in addition to the collection of old employees, Twitter is also facing a large number of lawsuits from suppliers, landlords, and consulting companies, who all say that they have not received due payments from Twitter. Just last week, four more companies sued Twitter for "unpaid bills."
At the same time, Twitter is still fighting with the BBC because of account verification.
Looking at so many things, it may not be difficult to understand why Musk suddenly wanted to recruit people in a high-profile manner.
Under this "recruitment post", there are indeed many people recommending themselves. I don't know who will take on this important task in the end?
