**Twitter’s $42,000-per-Month API Prices Out Nearly Everyone**
by @stokel
"The cheapest, Small Package, gives access to 50 million tweets for $42,000 a month. Higher tiers give researchers or businesses access to larger volumes of tweets—100 million and 200 million tweets respectively—and cost $125,000 and $210,000 a month."

Reading a book on the early days of phone networks and regulation and happen to switch to a random 1947 National Geographic I have with a Bell Telephone network advertisement for a Boston to New York microwave network.
I was trying to describe a Bowie Knife to the wife on Friday from a TV show and I couldn't remember Jim's name and I called it a "David Bowie Knife" -- now I have been thinking of what a David Bowie Knife would have been like all weekend!

Reading this over on Techdirt - there is a lot of valid analysis here.
BUT - we both need Section 230, AND we need a way for tech companies to be held accountable when the tools they build create or perpetuate harms.
If a company fails to take bad faith actors into account with their design choices, they should be held responsible.

platform engineering implements devops infrastructure when your organization is big enough to get economy of scale. it can't really be outsourced if your software engineering capabilities differentiate your product. that's why the cloud apis have coalesced where they are. the last mile specialization and glue to your business is a bespoke product, tailored to make your business as efficient as possible within its unique constraints
