Marge is already lobbying…
I utterly and totally HATE Twitter with a most sincere passion. Now I’m wondering just how deep my hate can really get? Guess I’m gonna find out.
I imagine the Twitter lawyers are now thinking about how they’re going to explain to Elon all the legal liability reasons that they had to start kicking people off in the first place.
The problem with toxic sludge - whether it’s on Twitter or other “free speech” social platforms like Facebook or Reddit - is that it eventually contaminates everything - even the good parts.
Containment is rarely successful. Better just to avoid them entirely until we, as a society, decide to finally nuke these places from orbit.
Makes me glad I never had a Twitter account. Now I won’t feel a need for one. I have yet to see a single tech company whose products/service/business health improved after being bought out.
R.I.P Twitter.
Considering Musk’s free speech absolutism, it will probably mean hate speech being legal now on Twitter, unless it’s explicitly banned by US law. I hope some other alternative becomes viable. I will be checking out Mastodon soon.
there’s always truth social. /s
more seriously, maybe the new eu law will help?
I was eating dinner right now
I really hope so. The disinformation and hate speech campaigns are a grave threat to democracy.
But criticism of Musk and the manufacturing quality of Teslas will not be permitted
Consdering how fragile his ego is, I bet you are right.
Oh, thank goodness we don’t have to worry about Trump coming back. He is, after all, an unimpeachable source on these kinds of things.
Nah. Elon is buying twitter for the same reason that Curt Schilling started a company to make a game like World of Warcraft. He really likes the game and thinks “I could do that. I know all about it because I use it”. This will end just as well as Curt Schilling starting a game company did.
Wow, The one thing money can’t do is prevent cringe.
