Incident Details

Shortly after rolling out their hexagonal NFT profile pictures, @twitter posted “gm, looking for an nft pfp”. The next day, McDonald’s German language communications account, @McDonaldsDENews, replied “Say no more!” with attached pixel art of the Twitter bird logo holding a McDonald’s bag in its beak. After further investigation, the art was found to be nearly identical to an image from a tweet by @SarahBurssty, which ironically was created to criticize Twitter’s support of NFTs.
