cross-posted from: https://kbin.social/m/technology@lemmy.world/t/333398

Many people in Japan depend on the NERV service for earthquake alerts. Unfortunately, they'll no longer be able to receive them on X.

TL;DR: X’s rate increases are costing the service about ¥6 million per month. As that is very expensive, they would rather spend their money developing their own platform and using a free social media platform to disseminate information.
