Sony is removing Twitter/X integration from PlayStation consoles

Posted on:

Sony is dropping X, formerly known as Twitter, integration from its PlayStation gaming consoles.
PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 logos

Yet another company has announced it will be removing X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, from its products. And this is a big one.

Sony has announced that it is terminating PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4’s X integrations this month. The removal of this feature will mean that PS4 and PS5 gamers will no longer be able to publish video game clips and other content directly from their consoles.

PlayStation announces price and specs for Portal, its remote-play device

“As of November 13, 2023, integration with X (formerly known as Twitter) will no longer function on PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 consoles,” reads Sony’s statement, which was posted on Monday. “This includes the ability to view any content published on X on PS5/PS4, and the ability to post and view content, trophies, and other gameplay-related activities on X directly from PS5/PS4 (or link an X account to do so).”

PlayStation users will still be able to manually clip gameplay moments, transfer the content to their computer or mobile device, and then post the content from the X app from there. This isn’t as intuitive, but that is the workaround that Sony is recommending.

Sony did not say exactly why it was removing PlayStation’s X integrations. However, the company is not the first to do so. Sony competitor Microsoft similarly removed the same integration from its Xbox video game console in April. Microsoft also announced the removal of its Twitter integration from its online advertising platform that same month as well.

Microsoft removes Xbox gameplay video sharing to Twitter after API fee hike

Other companies, however, like the customer service live-chat company Intercom, did explain why it was removing Twitter integrations when they also made the change in April: Elon Musk’s changes to the Twitter API. Namely, the reason was the exorbitant fee Musk decided to charge for API access, which had previously been free.

Earlier this year, Musk depreciated Twitter’s API program and instituted a new model that charged exorbitant fees for access. At the time, many apps that utilized Twitter’s API needed to shut down as its founders discovered it would cost a minimum of $42,000 per month under the social media service’s new API model.

While we do not yet know for sure, Sony likely came to the same conclusion that many other companies also did: X’s API wasn’t worth the cost.

Netflix on laptop

TL;DR: ExpressVPN is the best service for accessing extra Netflix libraries. Unblock Canadian Netflix from anywhere in the world with ExpressVPN.

The Canadian Netflix library is one of the best in the world, with a massive range of high-quality movies and shows to suit everyone. The problem is that you can only access this content from Canada. That is unless you’re using a VPN.

If you’re interested in watching Canadian Netflix from anywhere in the world, we have all the information you need.

How to unblock Netflix Canada for free

VPNs can hide your real IP address (digital location) and connect you to a secure server in Canada. This simple process tricks Netflix into thinking you’re connecting from the country, meaning you get to watch all the content that is normally locked to the location.

Unblock Canadian Netflix from anywhere in the world by following these simple steps:

  1. Sign up for a VPN (like ExpressVPN)

  2. Download the app to your device of choice (the best VPNs have apps for Windows, Mac, iOS, Android, Linux, and more)

  3. Open up the app and connect to a server in Canada

  4. Sign in to Netflix

Elon Musk’s X is reportedly selling usernames and handles for $50,000

Posted on:

Elon Musk’s X is reportedly building a marketplace to sell inactive usernames and handles for up to $50,000

As X struggles to make money and retain users, CEO Elon Musk is trying to balance his bottom line by selling off unused account handles.

According to emails obtained by Forbes, a team called @Handle is building a marketplace for the purchase of usernames left unused by the people who originally registered them. And how much do they cost? In some cases, Forbes reports, a flat fee of $50,000.

The emails Forbes reviewed were sent from active X employees and “were not published in their entirety to protect the anonymity of their recipients.”

SEE ALSO:

Musk tanked Twitter in 12 months. Let that sink in.

In a post from Oct. 2022, just a few days after he acquired the platform, Musk said that he was “definitely” going to address unused accounts. In Nov. 2022, he said he was “aiming to start freeing [unused handles] up next month.” The next month he tweeted, on Dec. 9 “Twitter will soon start freeing the name space of 1.5 billion accounts.”

In May, Musk tweeted that he had begun “purging accounts that have had no activity at all for several years,” which prompted some users to request that the company spare the inactive accounts of deceased account holders.

The selling of usernames has been against the platform’s terms of service since it was known as Twitter, though there is an established black market for handles. As of publication time, a help article on the X Help Center still read, “Username squatting is prohibited by the X Rules… We will not release squatted usernames except in cases of trademark infringement… Attempts to sell, buy, or solicit other forms of payment in exchange for usernames are also violations and may result in permanent account suspension.”
