@netflix Specifically for this event, we subscribed after a long hiatus because your programming got so boring. My wife was going to continue beyond the fight even though I have no interest. After this? Forget it.
@elonmusk Anytime I’m prompted for a subscription when I want to read a story, I promptly leave and find the same story elsewhere. Publishers should be sustained by advertising, driven by quality content, as its always been done. If they can’t do that they’re probably not worth reading.
@elonmusk@ZacksJerryRig I think you underestimate the power of social media influence. Trump would have dominated if not for the interference of social media. We all see it in our day to day. The overwhelming right-leaning sentiment is obvious to all of us who are actually in the ground.
@LisaDowd4 @mtaibbi Care to explain how the government actively petitioning a private company to suppress free speech on their platform doesn’t fit the bill of a 1A violation?
8. By 2020, requests from connected actors to delete tweets were routine. One executive would write to another: “More to review from the Biden team.” The reply would come back: “Handled.”
7. Slowly, over time, Twitter staff and executives began to find more and more uses for these tools. Outsiders began petitioning the company to manipulate speech as well: first a little, then more often, then constantly.
6. As time progressed, however, the company was slowly forced to add those barriers. Some of the first tools for controlling speech were designed to combat the likes of spam and financial fraudsters.
5. In an early conception, Twitter more than lived up to its mission statement, giving people “the power to create and share ideas and information instantly, without barriers.”
4. Twitter in its conception was a brilliant tool for enabling instant mass communication, making a true real-time global conversation possible for the first time.
3. The “Twitter Files” tell an incredible story from inside one of the world’s largest and most influential social media platforms. It is a Frankensteinian tale of a human-built mechanism grown out the control of its designer.
@WhiteHouse In less than 24 hours your administration will be castrated, unable to push any of your other crazy ideas on the American people, and the investigations into Biden corruption will commence.
@POTUS@WhiteHouse This is disingenuous garbage. How about a little context? This isn’t growth. This is you capitalizing on reopening, pent up demand and the return of non-essential jobs. You literally did nothing to cause this.
