Twitter

[Tubetec]

Political satire , a very nessesary counterbalance , I know many Americans were irritated by Sasha Barron Cohens piss take stateside ,
I always say , if you want to make a joke you better be able to take a joke .

Ireland has a huge stake in all of this , its EU and rest of World HQ for all the top media companies ,
the back room deals and doors left open legally to facillitate these monoliths deserve to be known to the public ,

Election fraud via socially engineering media , and governments brought it down on themselves in the lust for media glare.
Bono was acting as a lobbiest for FB , maybe he knows , maybe our incoming prime minister knows as he was very active in the negotiations and the photo oppertunities when the social media circus came to town ,
One thing they did here was make anyone over the age of 14 who signed upto social media subject to metrics ,data aggregation and marketing , essentially from a legal stand point they are consenting adults .
What other the deals have they made with the devil on our behalf ?

I'm shocked--shocked, I tell you!--that Musk has begun suspending the Twitter accounts of journalists he doesn't care for. The Musk philosophy: "Speech is free for me, but not for thee."

No one hears you. It still is and was always all about free-speech because… Wait for it…

shocked, I tell you!--

Indeed! I'm glad I asked for a new set of clutching pearls from Santa this year....

 

[fallout]

How apropos, seems you've worn out your previous set.

they apparently doxxed him sharing the "elon jet" twitter account that tracks his private jet... Elon complains that this puts his family at risk (a miscreant jumped on the car his child was in).

It is public information and I don't expect him to get much sympathy regarding this. He is wealthy enough to afford private security, not sure he can afford to own twitter.

Elon is the king of Cancel Culture now.

 

[scott2000]

Imitation is the ultimate form of flattery?...lol

 

[JohnRoberts]

"It's good to be king"..

I am encouraged to see cancel culture now being used as disparagement.

cancel culture now being used as disparagement.

Oh, so you & other conservatives were using it in a positive manner? Who, in actual fact, ever used the term "cancel culture" to denote something positive?

Twitter bans links to other social media, suspends accounts directing users to alternative platforms

Under the new policy, links to content on Facebook and Instagram are prohibited, as well as links to content on emerging Twitter alternatives, including Mastodon and Post. The rule also covers Truth Social, the Twitter clone backed by former President Donald Trump.

Free speech absolutist! Digital public square! It's DIGITAL, dammit!

Perhaps the people doing it?

That sounds a little like Ethan's rule #2

2. Absolutely NO pornography, sexually offensive comments, or links that lead to outside sites that contain similar material will be permitted here.

PS: I watched SNL (most of it) and they are still trying to cancel Trump, if we could harness all that partisan heat we could use it for carbon free energy.

 

[hodad]

Perhaps the people doing it?

No. I don't think the folks who engage in activities that conservatives deem "cancel culture" ever used that term to refer to themselves.

Also, I think you've misinterpreted rule #2. As I read it, Ethan was banning links to pornography and the like, not links to other diy sites.

 

[hodad]

So it doesn't appear that the "attack" on Musk's kid had anything to do with the accounts Musk banned. Lots more info here:

So what's everyone's interpretation of Elon's poll whether he should step down? He had to know what the result was going to be. I have theories but was curious what the rest of you guys thought.

Prior to buyout, Dorsey was swapped and little changed. It'd have to be resold again to see another swerve in direction, no matter which talking head is installed at the top.

My wife literally said almost the same exact thing.. Interesting

 

[Matador]

He's going to call it a "Poll Tax"...

 

[JohnRoberts]

Musk is just trolling the haters,,, He knows he can't continue spending 24x7 on the black hole that is twitter.

It is entertaining to watch... When he tweeted that poll his tesla stock price went up. [edit- the stock bump was momentary and passed when they realized he wasn't leaving anytime soon. He is also selling Tesla stock, not helpful for share prices. /edit]
