It took quite a while hunting through newspaper archives, but this is what Joseph Popp actually looked like when he was arrested. Weird that someone considered the grandfather of ransomware is so poorly documented. Sources online get the date of his death wrong & the spelling of his middle name too.

I found in 2019 that DMs were soft deleted, you could even fetch both deleted DMs and DMs exchanged with deactivated accounts from the Twitter API and the account archive. www.theverge.com/2019/2/15/18...
Twitter has been storing your ‘deleted’ DMs for years
Including those sent to and from deactivated or suspended accounts

It’s legal in the United States under the Truth in Caller ID Act, 2009, in certain circumstances. It’s unlawful when done with the intent of defrauding others. The rationale behind allowing it is that some businesses might want to advertise their pay-per-minute or toll-free number when they call.

Ha! I wouldn’t have thought, but that is great. They seem active too!
And yes. They’re currently relying on reports from subscribers, which could indicate a lack of adequate automated detection at the telecom operator level.

You can create a post with an arbitrary date and time from the past if you call the Bluesky post creation API directly. bsky.app/profile/sain...
It turns out that you can pass an arbitrary datetime value for the 'createdAt' parameter when creating a new post. I've linked a post of mine below with a datetime value of 1970-01-01T00:00:00.000Z. The datetime value appears to have been offset to January 1, 1970, 5:30 AM, Indian Standard Time.

It's quite possible it is only happening in India. I was only able to confirm that the post in question was withheld in India at the request of the Government (users from other countries were able to access it), but I wasn't able to confirm whether the same notice is shown to non-Indian users.
