Musk’s lawyer tells Twitter staff they won’t be liable if the company violates the FTC consent decree
Following a warning shot from the FTC to Twitter yesterday, TechCrunch has obtained an internal email sent by Elon Musk’s lawyer, Alex Spiro, to all remaining employees — in which he seeks to calm staffers’ concerns by claiming that they do not have individual liability for upholding the requirements of the FTC consent decree.
We’ve reproduced the full text of the email (sic) below — which was sent by Spiro to Twitter staff at 5:21PM, November 10:
Elon – questions have arisen today regarding the consent decree in effect at the time you took over the company.
We have our first upcoming compliance check with the ftc since taking over and we will handle it.
The only party to the decree is Twitter- not individuals who work at Twitter. It is Twitter itself (not individual employees) who is a party and therefore only Twitter the company could be liable.
I understand that there have been employees at Twitter who do not even work on the ftc matter commenting that they could to to jail if we were not in compliance- that is simply not how this works. It is the company’s obligation. It is the company’a burden. It is the company’s liability.
We spoke to the FTC today about our continuing obligations and have a constructive ongoing dialogue.
We will of course remain in compliance with the consent decree and the legal department is handling it and happy to answer any questions
Thanks
Alex
The 2011 consent decree required Twitter to establish and maintain a program to ensure and regularly report that its new features do not further misrepresent “the extent to which it maintains and protects the security, privacy, confidentiality, or integrity of any nonpublic consumer information.”
In a note (first reported by The Verge) posted in Twitter’s internal slack and visible to all employees, a departing internal attorney said that in fact, individual engineers do engender “personal, professional and legal risk,” seemingly in contradiction to what Spiro sent in the above email.
On Thursday, key Twitter executives including the company’s Head of Trust and Safety Yoel Roth, as well as its Chief Information Security Officer Lea Kissner, Chief Compliance Officer Marianne Fogarty, and Chief Privacy Officer Damien Kieran all abruptly departed the company. The FTC noted that they are watching with “deep concern” the ongoing situation at Twitter in light of the consent decree.
The FTC fined Twitter $150 million earlier this year after finding a breach of the settlement related to user data provided for security purposes being used for ad targeting.
We’ve reached out to the FTC for clarification regarding the consent decree and individual employee liability and will update you if we receive more information.

It's old but here's a video from 8 years ago about one factor of it.
youtube
Some numbers from it:
The internet used 2% of the world's electricity in 2011
The internet used 91 billion kilowatt-hours in 2013 just in the US.
The internet data transfer rate was 28,000 gigabytes a second in 2013.
And those are numbers from over 10 years ago. I couldn't find any exact number but I see online advertising specifically uses the same amount of electricity as a small country these days.
And here's a study from 2018 about it if you want something long and crunchy.
From the highlight:
Online advertising consumed between 20.38 to 282.75 TWh of energy and 11.53 – 159.93 million tons of CO2e was emitted to produce the electricity consumed.
Of course there's no exact number as it's not recorded and, if it is, it's guarded (hence the wide range) but it's safe to say it uses a lot of electricity.
At least with TV commercials, they gave actors, directors, and screen writers a way into the film and TV industry and also employed a crew. There were even dedicated crews/houses for specific types of ads. They also had to be interesting or entertaining enough to draw attention given how many people used commercial breaks as bathroom/snack breaks and stopped paying attention to ads.
Sure they were trying to sell you something but at least there were others who were getting a paycheque and building up a resume from them. The more successful or viral an ad went (and going viral before the internet was a big thing), the better it was for the cast and crew and more than a few celebs got their start from a commercial or three.
Not so much now, especially when the whole ad is just CGI. They aren't interesting or entertaining and the production value is low to keep the costs down on that end. If an ad is more than lukewarm, odds are it was designed for TV first because internet advertising is all about quantity over quality.
honestly advertising is so fukcing wasteful not even just in the convincing you to buy shit you never actually wanted but like
how much electricity is wasted displaying ads that could've gone to keeping houses warm. How much paper is produced just to be turned into pamphlets and ads that will just be thrown away. how much internet bandwith is wasted just on the amount of ads that are on the internet nowadays. How many hours worth of labor went into producing ads that are going directly into my adblocker or my waste bin that could've been time spent doing literally ANYTHING useful?
#i roll my eyes so hard at ads that are trying to pretend someone is a streamer#at least it employs a person but it's staring into a camera and reading a corporate copy#usually on a bland and boring set because why bother buying/renting props#and llms and generative ai is already making things worse#even fewer people are directly involved and llms/generative ai uses a fuckton of electricity#we're not up to crypto levels... yet#but there's not no impact from it#and those numbers predate llms/ai and i don't know know if they would even account for them if they did#because companies are very cagey about that sort of thing#and would invite government investigations and regulations if it was common knowledge#crypto farms largely got attention because they got greedy and moved too fast#and also made headlines due to scalping gpus and the chip shortage#also focusing on a handful of areas rather than spreading things out#don't make waves; spread the impact out; set up shell companies to obfuscate#i'd bet dollars to doughnuts that that's what advertising firms are doing#because if a data centre's usage goes up 5-10% that won't draw attention#usage going up over 50% in a year makes people notice and get concerned#but iirc over 40% of internet traffic is bots and ads now#and the closest thing to ads of old are probably the shorts for content farms#which are exempt from safety standards and regulations because they're 'user-generated content'#so you get ones promoting mustard gas or fractal wood-burning that can and do kill people#and the only way to pull them is to report them to the company instead of fcc or other regulatory body#and companies tend to not want to do that since those videos make them money#and they sure as shit don't want to have a content farm consider leaving the platform#not when content farms make up the bulk of daily activity and the company makes a pretty penny off of ads on the content farm's videos#Youtube

Crypto Wallets 101: Safeguarding Your Digital Wealth 💰🔒
Hey there, crypto comrades! Raul here, your friendly neighborhood crypto enthusiast, with some essential tips to keep your digital assets safe and sound in the wild world of cryptocurrencies. Today, we're diving into the fascinating realm of cryptocurrency wallets—a beginner's guide to understanding the ins and outs of these digital vaults and ensuring your crypto stash stays secure. So, grab your virtual keychain, and let's unlock the secrets of crypto wallets together!
What's the Deal with Crypto Wallets?
First things first, let's clear up any confusion about what exactly a crypto wallet is. Think of it as your personal digital safe deposit box—a place to store, send, and receive your cryptocurrencies. But here's the twist: unlike traditional wallets that hold physical cash, crypto wallets store your digital currencies and provide access to the blockchain network, where all transactions are recorded.
Types of Crypto Wallets
Now, let's talk about the different flavors of crypto wallets you'll encounter:
Hardware Wallets: These are physical devices (think USB sticks) designed specifically for storing cryptocurrencies offline. They offer the highest level of security since they're not connected to the internet when not in use. Popular options include Ledger Nano S and Trezor.
Software Wallets: These are digital wallets that run as applications on your computer or smartphone. They're convenient for everyday use but may be more susceptible to hacking if proper security measures aren't taken. Examples include Exodus, Electrum, and Trust Wallet.
Web Wallets: These are wallets hosted online by third-party providers, accessible via a web browser. While they're convenient for quick access, they come with a higher risk of hacking or phishing attacks. Examples include Coinbase and Binance.
Paper Wallets: As the name suggests, these are physical pieces of paper that contain your public and private keys, printed out for safekeeping. They're considered one of the most secure options since they're offline, but you'll need to take extra precautions to prevent loss or damage.
Tips for Keeping Your Crypto Safe
Now that you know the basics, here are some essential tips to ensure your crypto remains as safe as Fort Knox:
Backup Your Wallet: Always create backups of your wallet's private keys or recovery phrases and store them in multiple secure locations. This ensures you can recover your funds if your device is lost or damaged.
Use Two-Factor Authentication (2FA): Enable two-factor authentication wherever possible to add an extra layer of security to your accounts.
Stay Vigilant Against Scams: Be wary of phishing attempts, fraudulent websites, and unsolicited requests for your wallet information. When in doubt, double-check URLs and only interact with trusted sources.
Keep Your Software Updated: Regularly update your wallet software and devices to patch any security vulnerabilities and keep your defenses strong.
Consider Cold Storage: For long-term storage of large amounts of cryptocurrency, consider using a hardware or paper wallet stored in a secure location offline.
Final Thoughts
So there you have it, folks—your crash course in crypto wallets 101! Whether you're a seasoned hodler or just dipping your toes into the crypto waters, safeguarding your digital assets should always be a top priority. By choosing the right type of wallet and implementing best security practices, you can sleep soundly knowing your crypto fortune is locked up tight.
Stay safe, stay savvy, and may your crypto journey be filled with nothing but moonshots!
Catch you on the blockchain, Raul 🌕🔒

I will locate this NFT factory and report you to OSHA for workplace safety violations that I know you are definitely engaging in.
I have resorted to creating an NFT factory through the unpaid labor of various volunteers. For those who I took payment from who are complaining that I have taken over $100 from them without giving them an NFT yet, please shut the fuck up before I go God Muppet Mode and gun shoot kill you to death!!!!!!!!

While digital security is crucial, it's important to remember that physical security for our devices is equally vital.
