Is this really the end of Twitter?




The hashtag «RIPTwitter» is trending and lots of the site's users are scrambling to download their data. Twitter's new boss Elon Musk, never one to ignore a trend, tweeted a meme of a gravestone with the Twitter logo on it. Staff have been leaving in their droves - half the workforce was laid off by Mr Musk one week after he completed his purchase of the platform, and many more are choosing to leave since he sent an email demanding «hardcore» working conditions and long hours from his remaining employees.

Without servers, there is no Twitter

Servers - powerful computers - are like the physical bodies of these platforms. These are effectively warehouses full of computer servers which are central to the operations of online businesses. The world runs on servers.
