X adds video calling — and lets strangers ring you: Turned on by default, tool lets anyone you follow potentially call you up::Turned on by default, tool lets anyone you follow potentially call you up
I’m going to go ahead and assume the one person on X that you can’t call is old Muck himself. Wonder why?
Then again, X is such a shit show and Elon is so incapable of thinking two steps ahead of his feet that maybe you can call him lol
My bet is he’d be too fucking arrogant and think people would genuinely call him out of admiration and he could create some viral moment showcasing how awesome he is.
The system means that all accounts are liable to receive calls from accounts you follow, or those run by people whose number you have in your address book. To be able to call someone, they must have sent at least one direct message to your account.
He’s probably left it on.
To be fair anyone can already call me with my phone number. Although it’s pretty anoying too.
This is a bit different. This is the equivalent of letting me call you right now because I know your username. I literally don’t need to know anything else about you, except for your activity on the site. That said I’m somewhat impressed. Impressed by how anyone would come up with something this stupid.
Why would anyone want this functionality?
I’m guessing this is so if Elon gets a negative reply to one of his tweets he can call that person up and threaten them or something?
