Mensaje de Twitter cuando iniciamos sesión
La idea de Elon Musk al comprar Twitter fue hacer que la red dependiera menos de la publicidad y más de las suscripciones mensuales. Para ello hizo que el tic azul de verificación pasara a estar disponible para todo el mundo que pagara y ahora lleva eso a un nuevo terreno.
El hacer que la seguridad esté solo disponible para los usuarios de pago hará que la red sea, por defecto, mucho más insegura. Esto es algo que es malo no sólo para sus usuarios, sino para la propia compañía.
Cuando empecemos a ver robos de cuentas, problemas con el phishing y demás seguro que muchos usuarios que ya usaban poco Twitter deciden irse de la red social para siempre.
Parece claro que lo que Elon Musk no entiende es que la ingente mayoría de usuarios de Twitter no ve la red social como él, no están dispuestos a pagar (y menos con movimientos así) y debe reenfocar su estrategia.
