It would be cheaper for twitter to refund every person 10x what they sent than to shut down the entire site.

Their reputation and the post-mortem/cleanup effort of this hack already wiped out a significant chunk of their advertising profit. Taking down the platform for one day would be a drop in the bucket in comparison.

They are causing extreme damage to lots of high-profile people's reputation every second the platform is kept active. I wouldn't be surprised if lawsuits appear as a result of this. Taking down the entire platform would be safer and would at least stop the damage.


No. No it wouldn't. Trust is priceless and they're losing it by the minute.
