Many people in Japan depend on the NERV service for earthquake alerts. Unfortunately, they'll no longer be able to receive them on X.

This is bigger news than some folks may realise. Twitter is MASSIVE in Japan, their market penetration is huge there. Losing grip on Japan would be a major blow to the company.

Also probably a blow to Elon's dream of becoming a cyberpunk corporate overlord, considering the genre's bubble-inspired imagery.

It’s the second largest market after the US, but Elon cares so little about it that half the new things since they rebranded haven’t even been translated - my Twitter is in Japanese, and the new “repost” is in English, as are all the descriptions in settings.

It’s going to take a while, but they’re going to lose a lot of the Jp market at this rate.
