It's "Twitter Freedom Friday!"

[LupusDei]

This is interesting. I had no idea Twitter had a human rights team. Sounds super mission critical for sure.

It actually was. Mostly it worked with and sometimes on behalf of threatened voices in repressive environments. Also was part of the fight with abuse and disinformation (or how your incorrect interpretation would possibly like to frame it "censorship").

How in the world will the company survive without all of those key employees? When will HR be given orders to lay themselves off?

The consternation displayed over Musk underlies and highlights a claim often made but vehemently denied, that Twitter was "Uber-" friendly to Liberals and very hostile towards conservatives and now Liberals really resent the loss of their "safe zone." They should put their money where there mouths are and find a champion to start-up a new safe space. Maybe they can resurrect MySpace...

 

[Chobham]

I'm waiting for the full document drop and what's going on with the MO AG is kinda the pointy tip of the spear there. And it's in Musk's best interests to let those documents see the light of day.

Those documents will undoubtedly add fuel to the fire that's going to roast Facebook and the other government colluders. This may end up being the most important consequence of Musk's purchase.

 

[JohnEBbad]

That's an interesting take and a possible exacerbating element to the collective angst.


(Or should I say collectives'...?)

 

[Chobham]

Yeppers. The MO AG is building a compelling case even in the face of having to struggle to obtain the appropriate documents, which the companies AND the government are fighting tooth and nail. Where this works in Musk's favor is the fact that he wasn't involved so he has nothing to protect AND those documents would show that the previous management team engaged in fraud and colluded with the government to circumvent the first amendment thus saving him having to pay out millions in golden parachutes. The whole "they're a private company and can do what they want" mantra starts coming apart at the seams.

 

[JohnEBbad]

Break them up Ma Bell style...

 

[Chobham]

In this case I'm leaning more towards breaking up Homeland Security, the FBI, and the other state actors tied up in this fiasco.

 

[JohnEBbad]

You'd have to use the government to do that and you cannot underestimate Biden's ability to fuck things up.

 

[Chobham]

True, but the last I heard congress still has the purse strings.

 

[JohnEBbad]

They also have a fistful of loan applications...


And they have a healthy fear of that which they have instituted and have abdicated almost all responsibility for other than to spend and create new instruments of intimidation.

 

[Chobham]

If nothing else there's going to be a blizzard of subpoenas.

 

[JohnEBbad]

I'm not sure that a Republican-controlled Congress will do that. I think they would rather feel smug about the Twitter takeover after the Tuesday takeover.

 

[Chobham]

Oh, I'm pretty sure they will. They are legitimately angry, especially the border situation and the FBI collusion with the Teacher's Unions against parents.

 

[BabyBoomer50s]

Was this the team that suppressed the NY Post story regarding Hunter Biden laptop?

 

[JohnEBbad]

I would like to see that pursued, so would a lot of parents, even blue ones.

 

[Chobham]

Which is one of the reasons that I think white, urban, women are breaking red. The democrats are going to have to do a LOT of purging of the party ranks, will they? Given the fervor of the "progressives" I'd give consideration to the democrats splitting into two parties now, democrats and progressives.

 

[JohnEBbad]

Yes. They discovered that their party of choice just wasn't an enemy of children in the womb, but also the enemy of families in the schools. Families are tantamount to terrorists for sheltering their children from the dictates of the State.

 

[Chobham]

It's as I said well over a year ago, the Wuhan Flu ripped the mask off of all their many faces. From the standpoint of the nation it may have been one of the best things that happened.

 

[SgtSpiderMan]

Oh, I'm pretty sure they will. They are legitimately angry, especially the border situation and the FBI collusion with the Teacher's Unions against parents.

LOL! This is hilarious and you capitalized teacher’s union for some reason.
