Twitter’s brand value is at risk of being further eroded by the recent antics of its owner, Elon Musk.

These moves may further complicate Twitter’s efforts to revive its declining ad business and supplement it with Twitter Blue subscriptions.

Last week a BBC staffer testing their breaking news app alert system disappointed countless Game of Thrones fans when they sent a test alert stating “BREAKING NEWS No nudity in latest episode of Game of Thrones!!!”

The BBC is under fire today for a stunt that it pulled a few days ago, in which it rented a Russian bot net (also sometimes called a spam bot), and then sent millions of pieces of spam, and DOSed a corporate server.
