OT: Twitter in Absolute Shambles

Very curious about this.
+ @IdaCat l could share some of the interatctions, probably better over a beer that I'm happy to treat you and IdaCat to. One thing I will say is, a lot of these interactions with rich/influential people have given me examples for how I should and how I shouldn't carry myself.

I will leave out the rest of the details, but when I first met him, I didn't know how accomplished he was, and he treated me with respect.
 
As of 2024, the rate of banned accounts has tripled since Elon Musk took the reigns:

Well, this may have something to do with it…

“Last year (2023), X suspended 12.4 million accounts for violating our CSE policies. This is up from the 2.3 million accounts removed by Twitter in 2022.”

That’s a quintupling…more than 5-1/2 times as many banned accounts…year over year. So are you suggesting that X doing a much better job than Twitter of identifying, exposing & banning accounts that promote child sexual exploitation is a bad thing?

Please elaborate.
 
If this force was so coercive, how did Elon Musk opt out of this force? How is Mark Zuckerberg allowed to say that at all?

It's indicated the US Government forced censorship of social media. That's incorrect. The companies willfully obliged & wanted that involvement...because they are tech titans and government can be their friend.

Good god man it's all out there in plain view in the Twitter files. The government was absolutely using social media as an agent to suppress speech and propel their own message. The former is a violation of the first amendment and should see people jailed. The latter is just as morally bad.

Its one of the most egregious violations of the Constitution in a very long time, maybe ever

Seems to me he just simply stopped censoring as much and allowed multiple viewpoints, which unfortunately seems almost the exception and not the norm anymore.

I believe there was proof of government vetting and censorship of information, especially pertaining to public health, which imo is very problematic. So I’m happy that seems to have been ended.

Exactly. What we see now is organic trends, etc. We got here because elon removed the insane weighted algorithm that promoted items pushed by the government or some political puppet masters.
