People are stupid beyond belief. No amount of opsec lectures is going to do anything. You ban the device if you want to protect against the threat it represents.
Its not the grunts on the floor that will bring in the phones once they are banned. It will be the middle managers and higherups that are "too important" to let go of their smart phone.
It will be lisa the executive assistant that will have one (newest model iphone of course) that will flaunt the rules because her work is too important.
Data will be stolen and it will all be blamed of some grunt who brought in a phone and got fired 7 months back.
I once had a manager playing with his smart phone in a secure facility with classified info up on my screen and about blew a gasket. He got walked out a few weeks later.
Every halfway competent company already has their employees go through security training and regular refresher courses. But breaches still happen, because the average normie end-user is dumb.
Take a look at the proprietary google shit that gets uploaded to github every now and again. We have but one prayer: "Lord, may our enemies be stupid."
Security modeling is more complicated for organizations at that scale. Gotta assess the importance and sensitivity of various trade secrets, and compartmentalize accordingly. Being too secretive can compromise product quality, or the effectiveness of said secrecy policies themselves. "Wages of secrecy" is the term I'm aware of, from ESR's writings on open source software.
At Twitter, any such blanket policy would be absolute overkill, and result in a brain-drain and stiffening of corporate culture. Spacex and Tesla have more pervasive trade secrets, for the right experts to preform cost/risk analysis.
An OpenAI (or any similar cloud product) ban
is what any competent corporation should be doing. For appropriate opsec, a company has to have a general culture of literacy, merit, loyalty, and independent thinking, best summed by the saying "common sense is not so common".
This is quite reasonable. Elon always takes things to the extreme so he'll probably do the full ban or nothing at all. I doubt there's much in the way of secret ingredients at twitter he needs to hide. Doesn't he claim to want to open source everything anyway?

[* it will all be blamed on some white guy - as others have the threat of violence to protect them]

Yep.

...and He answers!
The factory workers will comply. Some HR lady won't though and screw the whole thing up.
It's usually HR making decisions they don't understand.
They just don't care, and they don't take the time ( or are too stupid) to follow through.
Whenever you do something like this, you have to pay a premium to employees, because your competition does not have this requirement.
It’s very hard to hire in software right now.
They did that to themselves.

That's all part of network design.
I worked a job from hell that blocked service intentionally. You couldn't even call 911. They got in a lot of trouble for that.
I reported them to the Fire Marshall. That man got noticeably angry over the phone.
