According to people who know Twitter’s intentions, the move will first be implemented for around 1% of Americans to gauge their reaction before being made available to all app users. It could be necessary to sign up for Twitter Blue to get around this problem, but doing so will cost you $8 per month or $11 if you have an iPhone. Twitter wants customers to be coerced into handing up their data since Twitter Blue, expected to cost the business $6 in revenue per subscriber, won’t stop it from going bankrupt. Even if Musk successfully implements this adjustment, it remains unaddressed that forcing customers to consent to the sale of their data and the service’s tracking of them is a clear breach of Apple’s App Store policies. Under Apple’s App Store Review Guidelines, users are not permitted to utilize an app or service for tracking. According to this information, Twitter would be breaking the rules, which may lead to Apple taking the app down from its store. According to an EU directive, Twitter might again be available on the platform via third-party alternatives if Apple removes it from the App Store, but only if it does. Twitter is now weighing further cost-cutting measures, such as not providing severance benefits to fired staff. In other words, disaster is on the horizon, but we’ll have to wait and see how it turns out.
