    Does this take into account that Twitter’s new CEO has resumed paying Google? I can see that maybe the tumult could have caused a lapse in the contract until a new arrangement is finalized, but that’s just speculation.

      That’s kind of what happens when Google holds your company hostage, yeah.

        Twitter is as much hostage to Google as anybody is hostage to their service host. They always have the option of building their own or migrating to a different provider.

        Kind of what happens when you don’t pay your $1B bill, you mean.

          Yes, I meant that Google holds true power over Twitter, like any hosting company will. Billions be damned.
