Elon Musk buys and ruins Twitter

Worryingly, he got Saudi Arabia backing to pay for a fair chunk of it.

Does that mean Miggles might get banned?

Already posted in an Off Topic politics thread before I spotted this one.

Says he might charge the blue tick wankers and big companies monthly charges now that I’d agree with

Make it far more than $20 a month too. See how much these people and companies need their verification.

Follow people like you,Iike opinions like yours and hey presto you are right about everything. Radicalisation (in the terrorist sense) doesn't depend on you being exposed to extreme views, it depends on you being exposed to only one view and Twitter is built for this. Does humanity as much good as opium and gin in times past.

Ah, that was a good night to be fair!

The issue isn’t about opinions, it’s about dissemination of incorrect facts, something that Musk himself was guilty of today.

It’s still possible to like the platform as a whole in terms of the ability to choose personally which content you consume from it and also have valid concerns about how it does content moderation as a whole.

The problem has always been, since twitter started, is that it’s biased humans deciding what’s fact and what’s not.

Everything I’ve seen from the people running Twitter until this week has worried me too.

They needed binning off regardless of Musk.

If you use Twitter on a daily basis, I can see how disconcerting this may be.

If you DON'T use Twitter, at all, this whole situation is fucking HILARIOUS!

As a Twitter user, that is a very annoying -- but fair -- post.

Summarises the entire situation accurately, I feel :)
