Wonder how much of them not just killing the servers is to avoid a monopoly lawsuit/perception.
I’d assume if they (Twitter) were a normal non-social advertising company they’d just cut them off and be done. Granted it’s hard to know how long they haven’t paid, but my guess is basically since Elon took over.
Apparently the parts of Twitter that run on Google Cloud are the parts dealing with safety. moderation, and anti-harassment. Musk loses nothing but Twitter becomes an even worse place than it currently is.

Apparently the contract is up at the end of the month. So google is meeting there end of the deal even if twitter is not meeting theirs.
Heh, if I’m Google I’m just calling it. They have nothing to lose, a single Twitter team is a drop in the bucket for them.
Okay, I just got the funniest thought.
What if Google resurrects Google+ (I think that was its name?)?
It’ll only be a week before they kill it again.
Once everyone is in there and comfy, they’d be like, “aight, we decided to close it because we’re Google”.
Or what if they combine into (Google+Twitter)•Reddit
Oh my god. Like that other platform they were promoting the other day. Fittingly, the logo is a screaming guy.
I wish, I really liked G+. My sharing is based on common interests, not relationship.

“Won’t have to pay if I get rid of the block function. It’s not harassment if everyone’s being harassed!”
