Columnist compares Meta and Twitter fees to a ‘protection racket’
February 24, 2023
Meta and Twitter want to charge members for security measures such as two-factor text-message authentication. “While the details are different, both companies’ moves remind me of the protection rackets run by mobsters: force people to make regular payments in exchange for ‘security.’ We need to draw a line in the sand. Security, privacy and basic account service should be included for everyone, not just those who pay more,” writes Geoffrey Fowler, technology columnist for The Washington Post.
