The Elon Musk Twitter shitshow

Hasn’t Musk released some info that proves Twitter was stopping free speech and cooperating with the government on silencing some ?
I don’t care for that stuff

Bots are NOT down.
Value is definitely not "up". Most people are complaining about what's being pushed on them.
So, bigoted minority views can appear the same as mainstream.
That doesn't concern you?
So why am I supposed to dismiss actual journalists but am to believe someone names "DogeDesigner"? Yes, I can believe that Twitter is the #1 app, but the fact that you dismiss any negative article about Elon but promote stuff from random anonymous people is ridiculous
I'm smart enough to remove that shit from my feed. I don't need someone, or an algorithm making that decision for me.
Most people already remove it.
The problem, is that Musk's "algorithms" keep pushing it back at them.
Why is that?
Joe, if you remove something from your "for you", that source doesn't show back up.
Seems that people are reporting having lots of similar ones continue popping up...
Either a thing is true or it isn’t. I don’t think it is fair to say I dismiss just any negative article. I just know that many negative articles are written by highly biased emotional persons that at times see their livelihood and position of power being threatened.
News media industry influencers writing negative articles about the platform that threatens their job is unsurprising, in fact I see it as perfectly logical from their perspective.
However, this does inform my opinion about how much of what they say is accurate or not, look for emotionally charged language or gross exaggerations or completely unknowable/unsubstantiated claims and it is pretty easy to dismiss.
Most negative articles make no attempt to inform you at all, they simply wish to persuade or manipulate you into believing what they want you to believe. That’s all. There is no regard for the truth.
I hope it was worth it…wonder what his new employer thinks of it too.
Somebody else thinking that they are smart enough to decide which is which concerns me more...
Twitter was getting scammed for $60M per year by fraudulent foreign Telecomm companies for bogus 2FA text charges. Parag and his team were grossly negligent to former shareholders.
Seems like firing their lead programmers, who would have prevented this (or were preventing it up until last year) turned out to be a dumb idea...
No this was happening pre-Elon. He identified it right away and moved to address it. Listen to the Twitter space, that was from December I think.
Of course he isn’t always telling the truth, but this does seem plausible. Twitter was insanely poorly run and managed. Their internal security protocols were around a decade behind the times. When an employee brought up security concerns, they fired him and paid him like $7.5M in hush money. He went before Congress and told them all that Twitter in its then current state (~April 2022) was a National Security threat.
Do you struggle with nuance my friend?
Saying I don’t know something for certain, but that it is plausible…is hilarious?
No; I find it amazing that you lap up whatever Elon tells you as "factual".
