It wasn’t a private company.

When you read the leaked chat logs, Twitter comes across as some sort of social-media FTX. An incredibly powerful and influential organisation, with the power to affect countries and businesses and economies and elections, being run by giddy gullible children. With no adults in the room.

But you know what I mean. It's not a US government entity, it's allowed to do things in private.

When you’re an organisation being run by gullible children and taking instruction FROM the government, it’s a lot less private. E.g:

Well, I can't say I understand US law to be able to know what's significant with certainty.
I do know there are any number companies with dodgy practices run by people I would consider children, in the sense they're naively pursuing their own interests at the cost of everyone, with heavy government involvement. And it's apparently entirely acceptable for them to be allowed to keep their secrets. Is it the guys who just made bank that are gullible, or the rest of us?

I mean - newflash - companies aren't fair, moral, or in the best interests of the customer/consumer - and they have no requirement to be.
These retards going nuts over all this stuff are making out like there was some grand conspiracy when there was none - the error in judgement is theirs in assuming some kind of 'fairness' that they were robbed of. Twitter owed them nothing. |

All seems fair and balanced to me.

E.g. - this professor at the Stanford School of Medicine thought that school closures could harm children, so his account was secretly set to "Do Not Trend". Nobody knows by whom, or on whose instruction, but everyone knew what to do with those sorts of ideas. American conservative commentator Charlie Kirk had his account secretly set to "Do Not Amplify". Nobody knows why, no paper trail, nobody actually ordered a code red but everyone knew what to do. And Jack was able to go before congress and testify "Twitter does not censor people based on their political beliefs" in complete honesty, because as far as he knew, it didn't. |

Did you expect it to be any different? Are you not aware that this is how businesses are run, especially in the US paradigm.
Accountability? Oversight? Those are for poor people.

I'm sure everything will get better for everyone now that Twitter is a private company owned by a man whose recent activity is (checks notes) posting about Anthony Fauci's gain-of-function research.

I wonder what we'd find if suddenly all of MediaWorks' emails were made public.

Yeah, I mean, why would you expect it to be any different Ab?
Twitter has no requirement to be some grand democratic and fair platform. It's a company making money from a product. It's an interactive tabloid. Like I said, it owes the world nothing. So why are people acting like they've been fleeced and robbed of some right to a fair platform? |

Because the CEO testified before Congress that the company did not do the thing that it has now been proven to have been doing?

I thought we were all on the same page about what social media companies are about?
Yeah, they're nasty... but normal nasty.

Ukraine has been removed from Twitter's list of countries to choose from when authenticating mobile numbers.
https://mezha.media/en/2022/12/13/tw...inian-numbers/ That was fast.

Meh - publicly available data being a little bit tricky to sift through is the basis for so many apps. And leveraging it for the common man is why the Social Media apps have resulted in those that don't understand the base technology standing on the shoulders of those slightly taller to espouse vitriol.
What we need is a great leveler that will reduce everything back to IRC and SearchlightBBS. But, progress. |
