A story once shared to me: Auditors were reviewing logs for some appliance that used a default account. Every time the account was use it wrote the username and password in the logs each as an easy to identify log entry. Hundreds of rentries a day. So how did they fix it? https://t.co/xSfhjpYK5R

Twitter is proposing to hide engagement metrics (likes/retweets) to make the site "friendlier" by removing the appearance of ranking.

Here is the truth: they find the concept of "the ratio" embarrassing to powerful people and embarrassing to be associated with.
