Musk's top priorities seem to be cutting costs and removing spam bots from DMs.

Can’t wait for all these monolithic sites to die.

    Are these services developed and provided by GCP/AWS, or are they Twitter developed services running on their cloud platforms?

      I’m not 100% sure on the answer to that.

      Twitter relies on Google Cloud to host services…

      So I’m assuming that means that Twitter is either using GCP to host cloud-based internally developed services, or SaaS deployments in the cloud, but that’s just a complete guess on my part.> n Musk’s takeover. Since “at least” March, Twitter has been pushing to renegotiate the contract

      Edit - This section was in the next paragraph lol.

      Now, Platformer has reported that a Twitter service called Smyte—an automated anti-abuse and anti-harassment tool that was previously operating on Google Cloud Platform (GCP)—will potentially shut down on June 30. This could lead to a flood of spam bots and CSAM on Twitter as bots and content could fail to be removed.

      So it sounds like it’s an internally built Twitter service that they host in GCP.

        The phrasing of the article makes it sound like the author isn’t familiar with cloud hosting, which is odd because it’s ArsTechnia
