Definitely fake. No real programmer would ever use such explicit variable names.
Good code is self-documenting!
class AbstractActionJButtonActionListenerAdapterFactoryDriver agrees.
For real, this is the first thing that came to mind. So clear, so easy to read... can't be real.
I'm not sure that's true, I tried to save this video on archive.is and a whole lot of weird code came up while it was loading. https://x.com/JDVance/status/1511311385543815180 It didn't save the video though, anyone know how to?
At the very least this stuff usually gets minified / crunched before it gets to you. So all of the variables are random letters.
Oops he got suspended.
Because this is clearly bullshit.
Dont get me wrong, i totally believe there are exceptions made for specific accounts in exactly this fashion, but the stuff seen in the screenshots is just completely fabricated. Whatever this is, its not how Twitter would configure exceptions for stuff like this.
Read this for a rundown of why its either completely fabricated or at least not trustworthy

This keeps getting posted today and its fucking stupid. There are many legitimate points to criticize about Twitter and Musk so there is no point in spreading fake shit.
the way twitter handled this (banning this user) is going to make people spiral and believe this was legitimate, as well. throwing a lot of fuel on the fire, par for the course with twitter under musk leadership, unfortunately
So you are saying that if a post is bullshit, Twitter should delete the account?
Because Twitter has a double standard when it comes to free speech.
No im just providing people with the reason for why he got banned.
But yeah you cant really expect to spread fake news about the very service you are posting on and not expect to get banned.
I mean he would probably also be banned if it was real but thats besides the point.
I wish they could be more authoritative. Basically they say “well, maybe, but maybe not” with no clear examples either way.
Would a variable have a subdomain? Unlikely but Musk’s jenius coding antics do not allow us to dismiss it either.
The security certificate is valid. Ok.
Why use okta for this? Again ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The banned words include British and Australian slurs - ? Ok?
And ultimately:
As this story develops, users and observers alike will be watching closely to see if any additional evidence emerges to support or refute the claims made in the Twitter API leak.
Until then, the true nature of Twitter’s content moderation practices for high-profile accounts remains a subject of speculation and debate.
Is this a feature okta provides? They did a demo at my work 2 years back and only talked about their authentication services. Content moderation could be an interesting company direction though I suppose.
Update: I checked their site and they don't mention anything about content moderation. I'd be surprised if marketing didn't try to offer this as a service to people https://www.okta.com/professional-services-for-your-business/
Just to note I didn’t look at the second link because f* reddit.
You can say "fuck".
I often do
Yup hope this gets down voted to the ends of the earth until OP updates the title.
Why would this be available from an api?
I'm not an expert but this seems likely fake, it just feels real because they really do let those accounts say whatever
Definitely fake. I've worked in IT, and I know Okta's offerings. They do multi-factor and SSO stuff, basically password management stuff on steroids along with any regulatory compliance checklist stuff.
They do not rent out cloud infrastructure for other companies to use.
Because... Reasons! Okay? Just believe, and be outraged.
Why not? This is one of the more tame things Musk screwed up.
But no, this is most likely fake. It's way too convenient for it to be true.
It's not how code works. There's no reason to send this information to the client because the filtering runs server side, so the client never needs to know about it.
You're assuming proper design. I've worked on systems where filtering was done client-side (and fixed that), it's stupid, but it's what happens when a FE is assigned a task and uses the tools at their disposal. In fact, I think Lemmy used to filter deleted comments clientside a few versions ago.
If they were deleting contents client-side then you could get around the filters by using something like tweet deck. Since we know that doesn't work we know that the filtering can't be done client-side.
Anecdotal but I’ve encountered a lot of this lately. It seems people have taken to dropping the term “API” arbitrarily into posts and conversations to signal knowledgeability with recognizable lingo, often resulting in nearly plausible but not quite accurate technical descriptions.
TBF I bet it works most of the time, due to the ubiquity of interfaces in software, and I may only notice it when they feel emboldened by the success of their first attempt.
Hard to believe this is true. Not the "feature" itself (that's very believable), but the claim that this was exposed as okta configs - that just doesn't make much sense. Not impossible, but very unlikely.
I mean, I'd believe musk did it himself as a grade a idiot with just enough understanding to make a mess of things, but yeah doubt
Having trouble citing this
I legitimately don't understand why anyone that isn't a far right asshole is still on twitter.
If it's just them, they'll fight each other and eventually abandon it.
If you think you're staying to "fight" them, then you're giving them what they want: an argument in a place they control and a target for the rest to focus on.
One could keep an account open for monitoring purposes, but I can't fathom actively engaging there anymore.
Even supposing apolitical content, I wouldn't want to generate anything for Twitter.
Probably true, but this is almost certainly a bs source. The code and list of names doesn't make sense since Elon is online 23/7 and his real list wouldn't even fit inside a 50 page dossier...
I actually got called and Elon Defender for pointing out that this is most likely fake, I'm glad most people here at least came to that same conclusion.
Still,
Glad im not the only one who immediately thought this. Ugh, I grew to distrust 99% of what I see online nowadays. And this doesn't even look legit
I am fairly show this has already been debunked. That's not how programming works, you wouldn't have a list of people on the API side. There's absolutely no reason for it to live on that side, it would be on the server because that's where it would have to run anyway.
No, you see, the algorithm uses the API to parse the tokens and then it asserts the heuristics on the server. Trust me, my uncle works at Twitter.
Yeah plus they know the code is open source, so even if that wasn't the normal and correct way to do it, it is how they would do it.
This post keeps getting reported for fake news. Honestly, I don't know anything about coding so it might be? Don't really care tbh, so stop reporting it please. Even the people saying it's fake don't seem to be sure and say it's "probably fake." I'm just going to go ahead and lock it.
