This could be a big mistake.

Why get involved in a biz you've never been in that is fickle as fuck for billions of $s?
Especially when you're throwing your solid auto/space bucks at it?

Imagine the nightmare for Tesla if Twitter starts sinking and Musk starts diverting cash to it?

Twitter could explode upward because of him or it could spiral downward.
There is no "Golden boy" on the internet; Trump proved that with his social media ventures.

Among Elon's top ambitions for Twitter: ridding it of spam.

Since none of us in adult use it for that, no worries then ... you can have your account back to put the world to rights rather than make money.

Yay! :=)

Musk is a weapons manufacturer and arms dealer.

I don't care if he supports adult - I'm done with Twitter.

No point in belaboring the obvious - yes, this does not leave many other alternatives.

I miss RSS...

As far as relaxing the rules on Twitter, maybe. Musk isn't really an ideologue like the dorks on the right who sack ride him - he's just a socially awkward, mega rich dude.

But I think he will see that a lot of advertisers pushed for these rules over the past few years rather than any of the conspiracy theories floating around the far-right blogosphere. He didn't get to be the richest guy on the planet by being really bad at business.

One is one of the best performing stocks of the last decade with a ton of investors mentioning the Twitter deal specifically to media for the reason they're dumping the stock, and the other is all the stocks in the top 500 public companies.

You really will do anything to defend any crypto bro, like suspend all logic & rationale.

He's specifically stated he's going after crypto spam and he'll do that by authenticating users and using AI. If he can deal with the cashed up crypto guys, Adult has no chance.

The pairing of Twitter and Neuralink AI teams should scare everyone.

Ah, so you're just a dipshit then. Got it.

I didn't realize me pointing out you being a dumbass equals me crying, but I mean, I guess we've already established that analyzing isn't your strong suit.

Sure, but Twitter is past the point of a small company. The sheer volume of information and communication that goes through twitter they should be regulated as public utility.

And as a person that's involved with pornograghy I would think you'd be against censorship. Musk has already said Twitter's policy will be aligned with the First Amendment. Do you have a problem with that?

Many of them, especially here in adult, are pro censorship though, it's really weird.

I'm not sure how I feel about Twitter / social media being regulated as a public utility - that comes with a lot of slopes that are a bit too slippery for my appetite. The internet as a service being regulated as a public utility, though - yes.

I would likely describe myself the same way Musk does regarding freedom of speech - a "freedom of speech absolutist". I guess you chose to ignore the rest of my post, though.

Wahhhhhhh wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhh. Trying to tell me to stop crying when you're literally just whining and offering no value to the conversation.

At least OneHungLo can discuss, rather than quote has beens.

I also already addressed the point of your quote to OneHungLo, but again, we've already established analyzing isn't your strong suit.. perhaps reading isn't either.

Good explanation. Some people have a difficult time understanding what free speech means.

Freedom of speech protects you from persecution/censorship from the government, not on private platforms that dictate their own set of rules.

Just like with GFY, there are consequences for not following Twitter's 'Terms Of Service' you agreed to follow when you registered. Trump broke the rules, so he got kicked off. End of story.

That's an awful lot of H's bud, real productive. But hey, I get it, your political narrative is (rightfully) being thrown under the bus and you're pissy. Remember though, it's not a bad thing dude, lots of living & learning still to do.

Thank you for showing the class that you not only can't analyze, but can't read for shit either.

I couldn't give two fucks if Elon buys whatever. It's his money (and Morgan Stanley's / some other banks). Whatever my political beliefs may be have nothing to do with it. The only point I made to OneHungLo is that while Elon may want to reduce the restrictions Twitter has for content, his (soon to be) advertisers may disagree - which is why they were put there to begin with. That has nothing to do at all with anyone's political beliefs - just dollars and cents. It's pretty pathetic that I have to explain something this simple to someone, but you've never been that bright.

Keep reaching... and projecting.

I get the term "free speech" is being overused in this regard, but what else are people going to call it? In the scope of the discussion being had, "free speech" simply means that X person isn't going to be silenced if they go against Y groupthink viewpoint on Z social media platform.

Keep in mind, too, however, that "free speech" was being touted by the left when NFL players were kneeling for the National Anthem, so that sword cuts both ways.

The fact of the matter is, platforms such as twitter, facebook, tiktok, and even adult message boards do not apply the rules of their platforms equally. And that's what is being discussed here, from a 30k ft view perspective.

It doesn't matter what anyone's personal political and/or social views are, they're not better than anyone else' regardless of which way the bandwagons travel.

If you want to discuss your views on a "public" platform, be prepared to defend those views instead of demanding everyone who doesn't share them be silenced/censored.

Social media, by and large, has become an ideological echo chamber, in which those who don't follow the groupthink narrative are subject to suppression and/or complete removal from the platform.

Musk buying Twitter and restoring the ability for anyone to express their views equally, regardless of said views, and within the confines of what is and isn't protected by law, isn't a scary or "dangerous" thing... it's the way it should be. Social platforms should be apolitical.

Whether Musk actually does that or not remains to be seen, but he's been nothing but completely center in his approach thus far.

And remember, there's a difference between hate speech and speech that you hate.

Keep in mind, too, however, that "free speech" was being touted by the left when NFL players were kneeling for the National Anthem, so that sword cuts both ways.

The fact of the matter is, platforms such as twitter, facebook, tiktok, and even adult message boards do not apply the rules of their platforms equally. And that's what is being discussed here, from a 30k ft view perspective.

It doesn't matter what anyone's personal political and/or social views are, they're not better than anyone else' regardless of which way the bandwagons travel.

If you want to discuss your views on a "public" platform, be prepared to defend those views instead of demanding everyone who doesn't share them be silenced/censored.

Social media, by and large, has become an ideological echo chamber, in which those who don't follow the groupthink narrative are subject to suppression and/or complete removal from the platform.

Musk buying Twitter and restoring the ability for anyone to express their views equally, regardless of said views, and within the confines of what is and isn't protected by law, isn't a scary or "dangerous" thing... it's the way it should be. Social platforms should be apolitical.

Whether Musk actually does that or not remains to be seen, but he's been nothing but completely center in his approach thus far.

And remember, there's a difference between hate speech and speech that you hate.
I don't necessarily disagree with any of this.

However, due to the reach of these platforms, blatant misinformation should be tagged as such. The point of this content is usually to drive engagement and/or get headlines (on Fox / OANN / MSNBC), so adjust the algorithm to sandbox posts marked as such. I don't really see the point in banning accounts or similar, but remove the incentive to post bullshit and less bullshit will get posted.

Sure, but the platform itself shouldn't really take on the role of moderation or fact-checking, because, then, who moderates the moderators and who fact checks the fact-checkers?

Platforms asserting authority over this type of space is a slippery slope, especially when such things are done with complete bias. We've seen first-hand that this does indeed happen, and the result is suppressing and/or outright censoring that which the "moderators" and "fact-checkers" don't like. Again, it's a matter of rules and regulations being applied differently based on ideology.

This type of abuse of 'authority' is the primary reason Musk bought Twitter, to begin with. What he does with it remains to be seen.

Eh, I agree in principle, but I've seen a lot of ideologues (on both sides) scream until they're blue in the face that a fact isn't a fact, so a lot of that is really just whining that their ideology doesn't align with reality. It's rampant on the right in the last few years, but the left certainly isn't innocent either.

True, but at the end of the day, people are going to believe whatever they want to believe.

None of this would be an issue if these platforms simply applied their rules equally regardless of ideology.

They do.

You're just mad because that loser Trump got kicked off social media for lying about stolen elections and stoking civil unrest.

Eh, I'm aware of quite a few far-left pages being removed for disinformation / misinformation on both Twitter and Facebook. The local Green Party loud mouth dweeb has made like 4 new FB accounts in the past couple years because he posts a ton of looney tunes shit all the time.

None of this has anything to do with Trump. I think it's time you moved on.

Maybe under the most extreme cases, but the imbalance in moderation is unquestionable.

Sure it doesn't. You're not fooling anyone with your whining.

A prime example of someone believing what they want to believe regardless of the facts.

Easy... Musk bought Twitter for this very reason, not because they banned Trump

Still waiting for your facts that show an "unquestionable" imbalance in moderation.
