IS TWITTER POSSESSED! ( 5 min read)
OR IS IT JUST ME ??
No, no .... It’s not just me, some one get me a priest ! Except it’s not Twitter, some days I think I’m going crazy? Im sure I’m following people and for a long time and then I’m reading posts and I check a profile and I’m not following this person anymore? But I was, I know I was .... I never unfollowed them, So what happened? Have I been hacked maybe, I don’t know ?? Is it Twitter playing around with my profile ?
I’ve heard another follower of mine Jon recently saying he hasn’t retweeted stuff but yet it shows that he does and he knows that it was not him that retweeted it ? So what happened ? – a great follow by the way 👍🏻
So if it’s not Twitter than who is it ? Well it seems I may have been my own problem here. I really never realized but I clicked a link that would tell me my Twitter worth, It was $950 , what ever that means 🤷🏻♂️. Well I shared it to Twitter to brag it up how rich I am, then a follower of mine sent me a message promptly I thought it was to tell me how he is very jealous of my wealth, but sadly it was not – another great follow ⬇️
He showed me, What I just gave this application access too. Basically I gave access to my whole Twitter account allowing this application to :
🔹See Tweets from your timeline (including protected Tweets) as well as your Lists and collections.
🔹See your Twitter profile information and account settings.
🔹See accounts you follow, mute, and block.
🔹Follow and unfollow accounts for you.
🔹Update your profile and account settings.
🔹Post and delete Tweets for you, and engage with Tweets posted by others (Like, un-Like, or reply to a Tweet, Retweet, etc.) for you.
🔹Create, manage, and delete Lists and collections for you.
🔹Mute, block, and report accounts for you.
WHAT THE F@CK ?
I’ve given access to let this application run my Twitter profile for me if they so choose ? With all the people world wide that gave these applications access they could get hash tags trending , sway what people thought about a subject , impersonate me and say how much I love Trudeau ( which I do not ). Basically anything trending might be fabricated, I know .. I know ... it can’t be true but it is . They can control the narrative by taking control of our profiles and just liking and retweeting the posts as they see fit . How many people sign up for these types of applications? There are lots of them like this. One of them I see quite popular is the “see how many people follow you and unfollow you” Well this one does it too.
If you’ve seen a page like this then you have given access to someone to control your Twitter profile .
So I promptly changed my password and denied them access or revoked access as the button says. So let’s take a look at how to get these guys out of our twitter profiles -
🔹Go into your profile and select settings and privacy
🔹Then select account
🔹 And finally go into apps and sessions
🔹 In apps and sessions you can revoke access to anyone application you’ve given access to.
In closing, pick and choose who you allow in. Make sure to read the fine print on what you are allowing them access too . I know I’m going to read a little more from now on. Most of the time we all click authorize without even looking?
Im sure by now we all have seen Terminator, are we trying to have judgement day? Do we want machines to take us over ? Well if we do we are on the right path.
If your looking for a platform that doesn’t harvest your soul may I suggest Gfam or MG Social. Both are great examples of what the future will bring. And you even make some XRP 👍🏻
