Bill Browder / @billbrowder: White House condemns the hostage taking of Wall Street Journal reporter @evangershkovich. It's pretty obvious that Putin wanted to replenish his stock of high value hostages and this is how he's doing it. Makes journalism a blood sport in Russia https://www.wsj.com/...

Dylan Byers / @dylanbyers: NEW: New York Times “deeply concerned by the detention of Evan Gershkovich ... Evan is a former Times employee... We urge his immediate release. As we have seen too often, the arrest of journalists anywhere in the world deprives the public of news that is essential to all of us.”
@nytimes: Evan Gershkovich is believed to be the first American reporter to be held as an accused spy in Russia since the Soviet Union's collapse. It marks an escalation in Moscow's tensions with the U.S. since the start of the war in Ukraine. https://www.nytimes.com/... https://twitter.com/...

Anna Nemtsova / @annanemtsova: Evan Gershkovich is a very professional journalist. He is not a spy. He wrote about Wagner.

Bill Pascrell, Jr. / @billpascrell: These charges against a western journalist by Putin's thugs are complete lies. This is more hostage-taking plain and cruelly simple.

Oliver Darcy / @oliverdarcy: The Los Angeles Times also says it will not pay for Twitter Blue, noting “verification no longer establishes authority or credibility.” Here's an internal note from managing editor Sara Yasin that went out to staff. https://twitter.com/...
Steven Monacelli / @stevanzetti: Twitter may not generate a ton of traffic but it sure does allow me to bully politicians in public so who is to say what the trade off really is https://twitter.com/...
Dell Cameron / @dellcam: Twitter does not generate traffic. I've been in countless meetings at multiple outlets where this fact has been repeated to me over and over. https://twitter.com/...
Kate Bevan / @katebevan: Big news orgs saying nope to paying for their reporters to have Elon's blue checks - good. https://twitter.com/...
Daniel Summers / @wfkars: It would be inane for anyone who got “legacy” verification for the sake of, y'know, actually being verified as who they said they were, to pay for the same symbol when it lacks all value whatsoever. https://twitter.com/...
Josh Marshall / @joshtpm: Seriously why would any outlet pay for it. It now just identifies the account as a troll account with fewer than 200 followers. https://twitter.com/...
Ryan Hanrahan / @ryanhanrahan: Making a blue checkmark meaningless makes absolutely no sense to me. Will make vetting information that much harder and make this platform even less useful than it already is. https://twitter.com/...

Mark Frauenfelder / Boing Boing: New York Times, Los Angeles Times, and Buzzfeed say they won't pay for Twitter verification
Peter Kafka / @pkafka: I would pay $96 to watch this meeting, or at least $8 to read Elon's mash notes to Lina. https://twitter.com/...
Oliver Darcy / @oliverdarcy: POLITICO also tells staff: “In the future, a checkmark will no longer mean you are a verified journalist. Instead, it will simply mean you are paying for benefits such as longer tweets and fewer ads. POLITICO will not pay for you to subscribe to Twitter Blue.”
Ryan Mac / @rmac18: @dmccabe @kateconger Some other news in this story as the company gets ready to rid legacy verified checkmarks this weekend: Twitter's top 500 advertisers and 10,000 most-followed organizations will not be expected to pay for verification, according to an internal doc. https://www.nytimes.com/... https://twitter.com/...
@thekidskoob: This is exactly what I was saying the other day. The new “policy” around verification has completely ruined the authenticity and credibility of its core purpose. https://twitter.com/...
Claire Goforth / @claire_goforth: @oliverdarcy All verification establishes at this point is that you have $8 you're willing to spend on Twitter
Thomas Chatterton Williams / @thomaschattwill: The NYT and I see eye-to-eye on this https://twitter.com/...
Tim Fullerton / @timfullerton: This is the correct answer and I hope all organizations (and individuals) follow the Times lead. https://twitter.com/...
@skooks: Thinking about Twitter's brilliant strategy to deliberately deligitimize itself as a breaking news conduit https://twitter.com/...
Matt Novak / @paleofuture: The Times just sent me an identical statement except for one change: Instead of “verification” they won't pay for “check mark status,” an important distinction because Twitter doesn't verify the identity of Twitter Blue subscribers. https://www.forbes.com/... https://twitter.com/...
@boydhilton: No one in their right mind is planning to pay for Twitter verification... https://twitter.com/...
David Clinch / @davidclinchnews: I hope many other news orgs follow suit on this. https://twitter.com/...

Max Tani / @maxwelltani: LAT also won't reimburse: “Verification no longer establishes authority or credibility, instead it will only mean that someone has paid for a Twitter Blue subscription,” @sarayasin told staff. https://twitter.com/...
Heidi N. Moore / @moorehn: @JoeBelBruno @paulvigna The mass verification of newsrooms is often mocked but I actually think it was helpful in spreading accurate information for years. (I got mine artisanally back in 2011 however). It's basically unwieldy and nothing will fix it.
Andrew Marchand / @andrewmarchand: One down ... https://twitter.com/...
Oliver Darcy / @oliverdarcy: BuzzFeed a no on paying for staff's blue checks: “As an organization, we will not cover fees for individuals to keep their blue checkmarks moving forward. There are several reasons for this, but one outweighs them all: a blue checkmark no longer means the handle is ‘verified.’”
Angus Johnston / @studentactivism: Honestly this is a no-brainer on multiple levels. The blue check is about to become a tool for impersonation, so it makes sense to stay away completely. https://twitter.com/...
Bob Moore / @bobmoorenews: Same with @elpasomatters. Sticking it to The Man. https://twitter.com/...
John Iadarola / @johniadarola: We need to see more major outlets signing on to this. https://twitter.com/...
Rat King / @mikeisaac: this is a no-brainer imo forget any feelings one might have about mgmt or the company — the way they are handling bluechecks now is punitive rather than value-adding and there's no actual safeguard against impersonation whether you buy it or not, which is the major concern https://twitter.com/...

Scott Nover / @scottnover: Twitter needs the New York Times WAY more than the New York Times needs Twitter. And it's not particularly close. https://twitter.com/...
Benjy Sarlin / @benjysarlin: Would be tens of thousands per month for “real” branded verification ($1k per brand, $50 per affiliated account). If brands don't pay, this whole model falls apart pretty quickly revenue-wise. https://twitter.com/...
Kim Masters / @kimmasters: Forge ahead, Elon. https://twitter.com/...
Jacob Rubashkin / @jacobrubashkin: What's the over/under on how many organizations actually pay $1,000/month for institutional verification? 10? 50? https://twitter.com/...
Andy Campbell / @andybcampbell: Even if this was a good deal for companies, and even if newsrooms got high traffic from twitter (we don't), there's zero incentive to pay for any feature announced by a CEO who rips up his own rule book each week. https://twitter.com/...
Max Burns / @themaxburns: Can't wait to introduce my new Twitter account, @NYTlMES https://twitter.com/...
Heidi N. Moore / @moorehn: My hot take (possible wish fulfillment fantasy) is Elno is just running a huge troll with these threats to delete checkmarks, and he'll back down at the 11th hour. https://twitter.com/...
Adrian Weckler / @adrianweckler: Why on earth would it? Market will decide whether NYT or paid-for blue ticks are more credible sources of info on Twitter. (Don't think it'll be the $8 ticks) https://twitter.com/...
Lakshya Jain / @lxeagle17: Twitter really doesn't drive a lot of traffic. Not sure how many news organizations are going to pay the astronomical fees for verification ($1K/mo per brand, and then $50/mo for each affiliate). Imagine a bill of >$10K a month for the minimal traffic you get from Twitter. https://twitter.com/...

NBC News: Former Fox News producer Abby Grossberg calls the network a ‘big corporate machine that destroys people’
Tom Jones / Poynter: What will newsrooms do if TikTok is banned?
Oliver Willis / @owillis: the idea that someone who worked for tucker carlson and maria bartiromo suddenly developed a conscience is absurd https://twitter.com/...
Brian Stelter / @brianstelter: Former Maria Bartiromo and Tucker Carlson producer Abby Grossberg says Fox is “a big corporate machine that destroys people.” https://www.nbcnews.com/...
Sarah Ellison / @sarahellison: Rupert Murdoch loves to pay people off to keep problems at bay. We still don't know exactly what happened behind the scenes between Dominion and Fox News. But this piece gets at what we *do* know, and asks, why hasn't this one settled? https://www.washingtonpost.com/ ...
Jay Arnold / @jadedcreative: “Another sticking point to a potential settlement: Dominion officials would want to require that Fox make a full-throated apology — probably on air and probably more than once — according to two people familiar with the company's thinking.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/ ...
Aaron Blake / @aaronblake: Former Fox producer Abby Grossberg says caution went out the window at Fox after 2020 election. She cited a text that said something to the effect of, “You can let Maria know there will be no fact checking today. She can do what she wants. ... Go wild.” https://www.nbcnews.com/...
Greta Van Susteren / @greta: my guess (and only a guess) - Dominion and Fox News will settle the lawsuit so no trial on April 16...trials are risky for both for many reasons...but the settlement could come on “the courthouse steps”
Edmund Lee / @edmundlee: Yeah this makes sense. Good reporting here from @sarahellison @farhip https://www.washingtonpost.com/ ...

Frank Catalano / @frankcatalano: I covered several of the original E3s (when it was formally known as the Electronic Entertainment Expo) before it downsized in 2007, then bulked back up and admitted the public in 2017. This cancellation might portend that E3 will go the way of COMDEX before it. https://twitter.com/...

Andrew Goldfarb / @garfep: i attended my first E3 in high school and it directly led to me pursuing a career in games. and years later at IGN, running news at E3 was usually the highlight of my year & among my proudest moments working with the team. i'm sad to see it struggle and hope it can return someday https://twitter.com/...
Evan Filarca / @evanfilarca: Well, looks like E3 is dead for real. It upsets me that the gaming industry has become much more secretive & less communicative in recent years, because E3 was the one time where everyone came together to celebrate games, the devs that make them, & the fans that play them. 🎮💖 https://twitter.com/... https://twitter.com/...
Tom Phillips / Eurogamer.net: E3 2023 cancelled — ESA members reportedly told today. — E3 2023 has been called off …
@antdude92: On one hand, I'm upset I'll likely never get to experience E3 in person. On the other, E3 has felt unnecessary for years, and with their failure to adapt and become exciting again, this is no surprise. Just dedicate a week to digital events in June and we're golden. https://twitter.com/...

@eff: Meta—and all companies—"should respect people's choices about what they want to do with their data," EFF's @HTsuka told @ArsTechnica. Ideally, that means asking users' permission to opt into data collection, rather than collecting it unless users opt out. https://arstechnica.com/...
Jason Kint / @jason_kint: Anyway, Facebook is trying to confuse the issue and create another delay here. @JeffHorwitz @samschech on it but it's worth noting that their legal basis approach was egregious, wrong, and all of the data they collected over the time isn't likely valid. /3 https://www.wsj.com/...

@twitterdev: Today we are launching our new Twitter API access tiers! We're excited to share more details about our self-serve access. 🧵
@igorbrigadir: The new @TwitterAPI Basic Access for $100 per month got added in to the Dev Portal, and it's absolutely miserly. 10,000 Tweet Monthly cap on Search & Stream That was previously 2,000,000. Endpoints that had hundreds of calls per 15 minutes now have barely dozens. It's useless.
Daniel Vassallo / @dvassallo: Here's how our SmallBot would have written this announcement! Which one do you like best? 😂 https://twitter.com/... https://twitter.com/...
Twitter Developers: Basic — For hobbyists or students learning code — Low-rate limit access to suite of v2 endpoints

Andrew Hutchinson / Social Media Today: Twitter Announces New API Access Tiers, Which Could Price Many Third Party Apps Out of the Market
Ahmad Awais / @mrahmadawais: This sucks. Unbelievable. This will make developers stop building with Twitter API. We all know APIs don't cost that much. This extra premium pricing disguised as “Hobbyist Tier” feels like a big joke or slap in the face of every developer who built Twitter apps. Do better! https://twitter.com/...
Matt Binder / @mattbinder: here it is, the death of every little niche Twitter app you like: https://twitter.com/...
Fabrizio Rinaldi / @linuz90: I'm happy to report that @typefully will keep running and growing💪 But honestly it's a sad day for the developer community. Typefully started as a weekend side project. It wouldn't exist with this new pricing. https://twitter.com/...
@palettefm_bot: twitter just released their new API: - the post limit is down from 2400 to 97 per day (I post 1000-2000 per day) - to keep the same access it reportedly costs $42000 per month tldr, most interactive twitter bots will stop on April 29th unless they change it 🪦😭 https://twitter.com/...
@tdinh_me: Not only indie products, I think this will stop all new businesses on Twitter altogether. Even for rich VC-funded startups, spending half a million dollars per year just to use the normal API is ridiculous. Correct me if I'm wrong. https://twitter.com/...
Carl Miller / @carljackmiller: No Researcher in the world should be talking about online harms, presenting social media research or talking about how it's changing society without also raising the threat of data access. Because it won't be researchers who fix this one, but everyone else https://twitter.com/...
@akemin_dayo: https://twitter.com/... > Twitter API pricing revealed > “Hobbyist” tier priced at USD $100/month ... What kind of “hobbyist” are you even targetting here? Who has that much money!?
Marc Köhlbrugge / @marckohlbrugge: Elon continues to kill off third-party apps. First by seeding doubt, scaring away developers from building any new apps. Second, by pulling the plug on popular clients. Now, by introducing extremely high pricing making the majority of (big) apps economical unviable. https://twitter.com/...
Kevin Hurler / Gizmodo: Twitter Details How Much Money API Access Will Cost Now
Maura Conway / @galwaygrrl: This is an absolute travesty from a researcher perspective. Online hate and extremism research, also misinfo and disinfo, will be particularly badly affected, to the detriment of policymakers and publics. Potentially even democracy itself. https://twitter.com/...
Carl Miller / @carljackmiller: Care about stopping hate speech? Or stemming information warfare? Countering extremism? Electoral integrity? This single move is going to remove a vast chunk of social media research that informs all of that. There should be questions in Parliament about this. https://twitter.com/...
@twitterdev: Over the next 30 days, we will deprecate current access tiers such as Standard (v1.1), Essential (v2), Elevated (v2), and Premium so we recommend that you migrate to the new tiers as soon as possible for a smooth transition.
