Welcome to the Tech Meam Right Home for Monday, April 24th,

2023. I'm Brian McCullough today. Would you believe me if I told you there was more Twitter chaos over the weekend, there was.

More details on the Apple headset is Arm about to abandon its Switzerland strategy,

interesting data about how Netflix dominates TV watching and sad data about the down rounds

we can expect for the foreseeable future.

Here's what you missed today in the world of tech.

So here's the Twitter stuff from this weekend.

Twitter restored the gold badges of some news organizations including the BBC,

the BBC and Bellingat.

The BBC and Bellingat among others say they did not pay

for this to happen they're not alone all weekend folks were saying they were

getting blue check marks back that they didn't pay for and some of them

insist they don't want.

I'm talking about some prominent critics of Twitter under the Musk regime like

Karas Swisher.

The famous at drill account basically kept attempting to change his profile as an attempt to shake off the blue check and within hours it just kept coming back almost as if there's a manual team at Twitter trying to stick blue checks to people who don't want them in an effort to I don't know mess with them

One theory I heard over the weekend was this what What if Twitter really is going down the

tubes and what if Elon knows that already? What if he already knows it's

unsavable? He does have the data. He you know didn't want to go through with the acquisition anyway, so if he can see that it's a lost cause,

why not use it to mess with your critics on the way down?

What good is owning a social network?

If you can't have fun with it even as it dies.
