"The guy can’t work out the logistics of removing verification badges, who wants to put him in charge of their oxygen supply? ...

The message I take from this is that the new owner of this platform considers any conversation you ever have or had across twitter’s email servers fair game to hand to a Substack sex pest to publish if it suits his purposes.
