At least two brands have said they will suspend advertising on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, after their ads and those of other companies were run on an account promoting fascism. The issue came less than a week after X CEO Linda Yaccarino publicly affirmed the company’s commitment to brand safety for advertisers.

    It’s the official name so the news is obliged. Your brain can handle this detail I’m sure.

      Yeah, it’s just like when Prince changed his name. The media will just keep going “X, formerly known as Twitter” forever.

        Prince changed his name to an unprinteable character so they had no choice.

        As I recall, some of the media used the short form TAFKAP (the artist formerly known as Prince).

        As for xtwitter, I vote for FKT. Pronounced as a word.

          Close. He changed his name to a symbol. It was probably to get out of a recording contract, but the particular symbol he chose was non printable.
