@supertanskiii I'm very concerned - a left leaning relative of mine seems to have come under the sway of Musk and Rupert Lowe and is now retweeting their divisive posts constantly as if they are the arbiters of free speech. How do I get through to him?

[Farrukh @implausibleblog]

Victoria Derbyshire, "Elon Musk had already hit out, calling the UK a police state"

"Adding, the real goal is to enable the UK government to track everyone"

Speaking of tracking people, here are 30 ways Twitter does it:

1. Account activity (posts, likes, reposts, follows, replies, searches)
2. Time spent viewing specific posts
3. Clicks on links and media
4. Cookies stored in your browser
5. IP address
6. Device identifiers
7. Browser fingerprinting signals (browser type, screen size, language settings, etc.)
8. Mobile advertising IDs (Android Advertising ID, Apple Advertising Identifier where available)
9. Location data (GPS if permitted, IP-based location, Wi-Fi/network information)
10. Contact uploads (if you grant access)
11. Email address and phone number
12. Payment information (for paid services)
13. Cross-device matching (linking your phone, tablet, and computer to the same user)
14. Embedded X posts on third-party websites
15. X Pixel tracking on external websites
16. Websites using X advertising or conversion tools
17. Apps using X SDKs or integrations
18. Login with X integrations on third-party sites
19. Ad interactions and conversions
20. Inferred interests and behavioural profiling
21. Social graph analysis (who you follow, interact with, and are connected to)
22. Content analysis of posts, messages, and media
23. Network and connection information (mobile carrier, ISP, network type)
24. Diagnostic and crash reports from the app
25. Approximate location derived from activity patterns
26. Data obtained from advertising partners and data providers
27. Engagement with videos (watch time, rewatches, completion rates)
28. Search history on the platform
29. Hashtags, topics, and communities you engage with
30. Account recovery and security information

This might make players think twice about it. A yellow card on its own isn't preventative. Most players would take that for the team 2) any fan holding up a "can I have your shirt" be removed from the ground

[Steve Toshk @Toshk]

#FIFAWorldCup two rules that need implementing asap 1) when a player commits a professional foul in his own half to prevent a break-away - issue a yellow card plus a minimum two minutes off the pitch (only allowing the player back on when the ball is out of play) @RestIsFootball

It is difficult to overstate just how dumb, ignorant, stupid, the people who currently govern the United States are.

Here is the Homeland Security Secretary claiming that the unionists & loyalists in *Northern* Ireland ‘want to be Irish’ & want to be in Ireland. Pure ignorance.

He's a trillionaire who spends every day on this app trying to start a race war and incite riots.

Imagine having all that money and still behaving like an incel living in his mum's basement.

[Nathan J Robinson @NathanJRobinson]

Instead of discussing how Elon Musk is now the world's first trillionaire, we should talk about how he killed hundreds of thousands of people through his dismantling of food and medical aid to poor countries

Imagine having $1,000,000,000,000 and using it to fund Nazism and hate instead of trying to actually help the world.

[Neil Stone @DrNeilStone]

The idea vaccines cause autism was invented by Andrew Wakefield in 1998 and was so thoroughly debunked he lost his license for gross malpractice

And here we are 27 years later RFK Jr dredging up the same nonsense

Such a tiresome waste of time

Remember when they said Zelensky desecrated the sanctity of the White House by not wearing a suit

i cannot think of a more perfectly distilled example of why so many survivors of sexual assault don’t come forward

Well done Starmer. If this doesn’t make would be shoplifters think again I don’t know what will.

Trump is now bragging over doctors being so concerned with his cognitive decline that he was given 3 dementia tests in a year and Obama/Biden were given 0.

Not the brag you think it is, Donald!

It’s really simple…

- Cap all political donations
- Ban foreign donations
- Strict conflict‑of‑interest & anti‑corruption laws with penalties
- No titles, honours or peerages for donors
- No govt contracts for donors
- Publish every donation/lobby meeting

…that’ll do it

[Supertanskiii @supertanskiii]

Farage, with a very different accent, explaining how to exploit and profit from the very same system that he claimed to rail against.

Including using one’s wife to account for financial irregularities.

Well, it apparently works when trying to explain away house purchases, eh?
