Microblogging site Twitter has started shutting down the
tweeting facility through messages. It has also been discontinued in many
countries. In such a situation, you will no longer be able to tweet via SMS.
Explain that by taking advantage of this feature wrongly, Twitter CEO Jack
Dorsey's account was hacked last year.
The purpose behind Twitter to discontinue SMS tweeting is
to increase security. Twitter wants users to tweet from only two mediums,
desktop, and mobile apps so that their account security and privacy remains
intact.
The company has said that most users do not use this
feature and due to this many types of complaints are also coming. Let me tell
you that when Twitter provided the facility to tweet in 140 characters, during that
time it was also allowed to tweet via SMS.
Significantly, in the year 2018, Jack Dorsey's account was
hacked. Outrageous and racist tweets were made through Dorsey's account and
such tweets were also retweeted. A later report claimed that Jack Dorsey was
the victim of SIM swapping. After this hacking, social media users also made
fun of Dorsey for weak passwords.
Let us know that Twitter has recently changed the layout of
the desktop version. Previously, where the profile photo of the users was seen
in the menu bar above the tweet button in the left, now it has been reduced to
the profile photo. Apart from this, the company has also given the option to
add two accounts.
After clicking on the profile photo after the new update,
you will see your Twitter handle and below that are seen the options for Add an
existing account and log out. Apart from this, no other changes have been made.
