> I am gobsmacked that Twitter allowed his account to continue without some kind of additional security measures like 2FA or geo-IP checking. This is a guy that could literally start World War III by sending a tweet like, "Eat shit, China! Missiles on their way!" And Twitter didn't think it should be locked down beyond a simple password!?!

I mean remember how bitcoin scammers got access to Twitter admin panels recently? I don't think security is Twitter's biggest concern... My old Twitter account has been hacked by a Russian spammer despite having 2FA, I just decided to close it, it became a liability.
