Giuliani can’t figure out how URLs work, blames Twitter for liberal bias

"Twitter allowed someone to invade my text," Giuliani tweeted.
Rudy Giuliani, who briefly advised Donald Trump on cybersecurity before taking a role as his personal attorney, doesn't understand how domain names work. And that lack of understanding led him to invent a ludicrous conspiracy theory about Twitter.
It all started when Giuliani tweeted about special counsel Robert Mueller.
If someone tweets out a valid URL, Twitter automatically converts it into a hyperlink. In this case, .in is the country code top-level domain for India, so Twitter interpreted "G-20.In" as a URL, linking it to http://g-20.in/.
An Atlanta-based prankster named Jason Velazquez recognized the opportunity here and registered the G-20.in domain name.

I doubt that he knows how to take it down. Or that things he says on the Internet stay there.

This pretty much sums up that Blackberry isn't a viable device any longer. Some people have touted it as being "extra secure", which seems implausible given how good Google and Apple are at security. But now we know...
Blackberry needs people who aren't even familiar with URLs to advice them on security. Um... no thanks.
