    “Sam Bankman-Fried is thirty years old.”

    Crypto skeptic Molly White has a great writeup on how the disgraced crypto founder “cultivated” a childish persona — and how he’s benefitting from it:

    On one hand, literal children are portrayed in the media as adults, and treated as such in the prison system; on the other, a man who’s been old enough to vote for over a decade is being described as “a young man in need of both defense and a friend” offering refreshments to a reporter “as if we were there for a playdate”.

    Sam Bankman-Fried is not a child

    Twitter’s facing another lawsuit over unpaid bills.

    In addition to allegedly failing to pay rent on its offices in San Francisco and London, a new lawsuit filed on Friday accuses Twitter of skipping out on $1.9 million in payments to an advisory firm.

    Innisfree M&A assisted Twitter with its sale to Elon Musk last year, and claims it was never paid despite Twitter saying it “successfully processed” its payment in November.

    Disney Plus could lose some of its original content.

    According to a report from Bloomberg, Disney CEO Bob Iger is weighing the idea of licensing more original shows and movies to rival media companies.

    Aside from raising prices on subscribers, licensing content to other services is just one of the ways Disney can make more money and reverse the $1.5 billion its streaming business lost last quarter.

    Now anyone can appeal their Twitter account suspension.

    As part of its initiative to take “less severe actions” against rule-breaking accounts, Elon Musk’s Twitter has started letting anyone dispute their account suspension based on the platform’s “new criteria,” which it still hasn’t shared.

    Is Netflix’s ad-supported tier starting to catch on?

    After getting off to a slow start, The Information reports that signups to Netflix’s $6.99 per month Basic with Ads plan doubled from December to January.

    We still don’t know how many people are signed up for the ad-supported plan, but maybe that increase means Netflix won’t have to refund advertisers for missing viewership targets.
