Twitter has stopped paying its Google Cloud bills, prompting concerns about what will happen to some of the services it hosts there, a report says
previously reported that Twitter has been trying to renegotiate its Google contract for months, in which the social-media giant had committed to spending $1 billion over five years.
According to The Information's report, Twitter had ultimately continued to pay its Google Cloud bills because of the huge advertising revenue it gets from the company – but Platformer now reports that"at some point" it changed its mind and stopped paying the invoices, and was now planning to stop using the platform completely.
Platformer reported that Twitter was scrambling to move services off Google Cloud before the contract ends on June 30, but cited sources who said that this was taking longer than expected and that it was uncertain what would happen with some of the services. For example, it's unclear whether Twitter would try to migrate Smyte to its own servers, sources told Platformer.
