Twitter Got Hacked
I just updated my Twitter account, and saw that it was hacked via a TechCrunch tweet. I replied to the post, and I said the following.
Sorry but this made me laugh to be honest… Yeah it sucks that they got hacked. But seriously who cares who got hacked, what is the different between a Barack account vs mine vs Joe Smoe vs a friend of mine who isn’t technical at all? I would surely hope that ‘nothing’ would be the answer. Hopefully the Twitter team gets it dealt with.
To step on the Barack’s account being hacked, I just have to laugh. I am hoping most people know that it isn’t actually Mr Obama updating Twitter. I know 5 or so people who worked on his campaign and knew where Obama was within a few hour block.
To continue on, I would need some kind of proof from Mr. Obama saying that he, himself updates his twitter. This should be in the form of a video. However, how could we know it is legit? Most people know president’s and the like have professional speech writers. Ok so that won’t work. Oh! We could have a video of Obama logging in and makiing a tweet. Nope, that won’t work as well. We wouldn’t be able to tell if he was given the instructions 5 minutes before.
Throwing that aside, and there is some way that shows Obama updates his Twitter account himself, it would be quite saddening. During his campaign I recall him saying that being the president is an around the clock job, and he’s willing to work all 24 hours. Taking time to update Twitter is not an acceptable use of time in my mind.
