Twitter Is About To Change

[Lady2020]

Apparently Musk didn't want to give up tweeting shit on Twitter for a BoD seat.

 

[Champakian]

So much for the threat of change.

Now he's just big talk which Granny Hawkins would characterize as doodley-squat...

Twitter will go on censoring speech the name of free speech.
It is the bright, shining example of why I eschew social media.

Twitter only censors people who break their TOS. It's just like if you break the TOS you agreed to here, you get banned. I'm sure you can relate.

 

[zipman]

Twitter is already lagging way behind Truth Social in users.

Bwahahaha!

 

[Champakian]

I don't do any social media and hence do not relate on the level you imply.

The TOS is not developed outside of their political/social bubble, so it is an implied form of censorship.

A standard and methodology that you seem to be very approving of; make rules that only the Left falls under.

You're posting on social media right now, Champ.
And I approve of nothing, your ascription notwithstanding.
"Makes rules only the Left falls under." You mean that they are smart enough to obey the rules they agreed to? NO WAY!

 

[Champakian]

It's the only Social Media I post on and in case you haven't noticed,
this is not the Big Leagues, in fact, it is shrinking
and never had any influence/audience...

You spend 100% of 95% of your every morning here -- the influence on you is deeper than Atlantis.

 

[Champakian]

Yes. I spend time here in the morning while I drink coffee, consume news and chat with friends.

But that still doesn't make your observation a valid one.

Nor does it justify your trolling antics.

Your reply absolutely validates my observation/fact. Is telling the truth now considered trolling? Sounds like a snowflake problem.

 

[HisArpy]

Calm down. You’ll give yourself a covfefe.

GO FUCK YOURSELF

 

[HisArpy]

You really struggle with definitions of words and how to use them.

I'm not the one who refuses to pay attention and then tries to cover it up with obvious deflection to inanities.

Elon Musk Says in Filing He May Engage in Twitter Strategy​

Tesla CEO Elon Musk, who last week disclosed a stake in Twitter, amended his regulatory filing to say may ‘engage in discussions with the board’​

Tesla Inc. Chief Executive Elon Musk, who last week disclosed a roughly 9% stake in Twitter Inc., amended his regulatory filing to say that he owns the stake for investment purposes and may engage Twitter’s board.

Mr. Musk originally disclosed his stake in the company through a Schedule 13G filing, which suggested it was a passive stake and that Mr. Musk didn’t intend to influence the operations of the business. The filing had since been amended to a Schedule 13D.

The latest amendment to the filing says that Mr. Musk may “engage in discussions with the board” about strategic business decisions, operations, capital structure, governance, management and other matters. Mr. Musk may express his views to the board and the public through social media or other channels, the amendment said.

No, you're the one who has no idea what he's talking about and responds with irrelevant nonsense.

 

[Sean Renaud]

Where exactly are these anti-woke people when they are called racists, sexists, bigots in general and deplorable? Oh right rules for me and not for thee. You'd think after my entire adult life has shown how bad things really are I'd just give up on a better world for the younger members of my family.

 

[LukSkyFokker]

Elon Musk says fees for some users may be coming to Twitter​

Free speech ain't so free.

Bwahahahahahahahahahaha!

 

[JohnnySavage]

Like paying for an ad in the newspaper? Or paying for an ad on the radio? Or buying a sign at the ball park?

 

[HisArpy]

No, you're the one who has no idea what he's talking about and responds with irrelevant nonsense.

Sure Chief. Anything you say.

 

[slutindianwife]

who can say???

 

[Philthy_Phil]

It's already happening. Dorsey though retired has already been made to submit an mea culpa for damaging the Internet.

Damaging the internet? Lol

 

[pecksniff]

I think I speak for many Americans when I say, we don't want Twitter to change, we want it to die.

 

[Sean Renaud]

Why for, I'm fine with twitter. I barely use it but its there if I get bored.

There are obvious dangers of intellectual degradation in a 120-character mode of communication.

Its existence only bothers me because it so often intrudes into political discussion. The president Tweeting, as Trump did (and still does) so often, and Obama and Biden hardly at all, does our society no good.

As we await to find out if Musk deal happens, there is rather significant lawsuit moving forward filed by independent journalist Alex Berenson. The WSJ published an OpEd this morning written by Berenson which provides a status report on the case:

“On Aug. 28, the company permanently banned me for a tweet about mRNA Covid vaccines that began: ‘It doesn’t stop infection. Or transmission.‘ Today no one disputes the truth of that statement, but Twitter claimed the tweet was my “fifth strike” under its Covid “misinformation” policy.

“In December I sued Twitter. Because of the protections that Section 230 gives social-media companies, most observers predicted the suit would be dismissed. But Judge Alsup held that I could proceed with my claim for breach of contract. Twitter’s “actions plausibly qualify as a clear and unambiguous promise that Twitter would correctly apply its COVID-19 misinformation policy,” he wrote.

“The ruling includes a schedule for a first round of discovery. Along with allowing me to depose two Twitter executives under oath, he ordered that by June 20 Twitter must produce all documents in its possession about me, ‘including but not limited to nonparty complaints or inquiries about plaintiff and/or including possible or actual termination of his account or a strike against his account or a labeling of any of his posts.’ That order clearly includes Twitter’s communications with the government, allowing me to understand how and why the company broke its own policies and promises to me.

Twitter's policy enforcement has never been equally applied.
