    could result in the social media company’s trust and safety teams being crippled

    Is that the only consequence? What happens if they don’t pay at all, what would Google do? Genuinely asking, I have no clue.

      MX records show Twitter is using Google Workspace too. I wonder if Google would threaten shutting down email and document access in addition to GCP.

        I expect they’re under some kind of enterprise tier deal so I imagine they’ll get quite a few calls from their account manager before inevitably they just shut off access. This kind of thing happens more often than you’d expect when a company has cashflow issues, they’re probably using many other suppliers as free lines of credit as well.

      Depends on the terms/contract. Since its twitter I’d think they’d have a contract, which states duration and how much they pay. Once they don’t pay, as long as the contract states they can cutoff service, well they cutoff service and/or servers. But again, depends on what’s in said contract.

    The faster Twitter dies, the better. Reddit has a complicated history, but Twitter has done nothing but warp people’s sense of self worth and ideas of what social media is and what their presence should be online. It’s a legacy of violence upon the mind
