Yeah you're right - mentioned here and there, perhaps even on the first page somewhere for five minutes. Compare this to a situation where you'd change "US" to "Russia" and the amount of attention it would bring if the Russian government would meet leading people from Twitter telling them what...

https://theintercept.com/2022/12/20/twitter-dod-us-military-accounts/ Not a word in mainstream media... of course. "There is no conspiracy" :ROFLMAO:

Dictators were disposed of before Twitter and will continue to be so if or when Twitter is gone as well. I think the Arab Spring shows the weaknesses, if anything. Around 10% of Libyans had Internet in 2010. Who were these with access? Well, not the poorest. Six years of civil war indicates...

There's been some similar stuff in the past... AOL, Altavista etc... Anyway, fantastic isn't it. If Twitter crumbles into nothingness he should get some kind of award for his contributions to mankind. Hopefully he'll buy Facebook, Instagram and so forth next.

Not new, it came out months ago. https://theintercept.com/2022/10/31/social-media-disinformation-dhs/ FBI controls what people are allowed to say and not say on social media. If such a thing happens in China or Russia we call it "evil censorship" etc. If it happens here, people just accept it...

I really struggle with the take that he is "destroying Twitter", as if it wasn't shite from day one.

What is free speech exactly and where can it be found? I keep hearing we have free speech, but we're - in most places online and offline - not allowed to make jokes about races, religions, handicaps, sexual orientations, phobias, ages, faces... because someone is always discriminated...

I mean if you're going to have someone banning out people who lie, you have to have someone decide what is lies and what isn't. Take the Uyghurs in China. A lot of westerners are going to say "China are lying when they say it just some ordinary re-education camp for extremists" and a lot of...

My comment on Twitter being infested with bots was more about the quality and importance of the Twitter thingie. "Holy well, my favorite/least favorite politician got two billion likes and retweets for his plucky ideas, must really mean something"... and then if you look into these likes and...

I think lying is probably included (or rather, not excluced) in the free speech-concept in most constitutions. But if we're going to "call out and sanction perpetrators of lies", we'd first need some Ministry of Truth to clear up what is truth and what is lie. Who should get that job?

Left-wing people say Twitter is filled with right-wing people. Right-wing people say Twitter is filled with left-wing people. In reality I think most of the activity on Twitter is just bot accounts. Like I said yesterday, if Elon Musk really wants to allow a wider array of opinions and...

I take it you're not really that much into free speech

I'm not and never will be a Twitter person but if he wants to allow more free speech, I'm all for it.
