tshile Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 Well as the trump lawyers got schooled in law 101 last week, no free speech does not apply to using twitter. as much as removing anonymity solved trolling (cause few people will be an asshole when their real name is attached to it and they can be held accountable), it also kills the platform. I, personally, think making everyone verified will clean up Twitter. im also guessing it’ll kill Twitter. And therefore never be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It went from a **** hole into a barren wasteland overnight. Eventually scrapped. This forum could have been absolutely huge if it wasn’t for email verification we used, one of the first forums to do so. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

China Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 ‘If I Die In Mysterious Circumstances’: Elon Musk Fears For His Life, Shares Threatening Note From Russian Official Tesla CEO Elon Musk is worried that the Russian state may try to assassinate him over his support for Ukraine the billionaire suggested on Twitter. Since the Russian aggression began in February, Musk has sided with Ukraine and supported their cause in all ways possible. In the early days of the conflict, Tesla told its Ukrainian employees that the company would pay three months of wages if they were called to fight. His other company, SpaceX, has provided its satellite internet terminals at short notice to keep services connected in Ukraine. A few hours ago, the tech tycoon posted on his Twitter account a message from Dmitry Rogozin, the head of the Russian space agency Roscosmos, threatening retaliation for Musk’s support of Ukraine. “According to our information, the delivery and transfer to the Armed Forces of Ukraine of PO boxes for receiving and transmitting the Internet from Starlink was carried out by the Pentagon. Elon Musk is thus involved in the supply of fascist forces in Ukraine with military communications,” the note says before stating that Musk will have to pay for his actions. “And for this, you will have to answer in an adult way, Elon, no matter how you turn on the fool.” Musk seems to take these threats very seriously and shared the note on Twitter. “If I die under mysterious circumstances, it’s been nice knowin ya,” the billionaire posted. In a previous tweet, he wonders about Rogozin’s use of the word ‘nazi’. Click on the link for the full article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renegade7 Posted May 10, 2022 Author Share Posted May 10, 2022 (edited) Think I'm done now... Elon Musk says he would reverse Twitter ban on Donald Trump https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2022/05/10/musk-talk-twitter/ Quote SAN FRANCISCO — Elon Musk said he would reverse Twitter’s ban on former president Donald Trump. Musk, the Tesla CEO who is soon to own Twitter, said it was a mistake for the website to ban the former president. “I think it was a morally bad decision to be clear and foolish in the extreme,” he said at a Future of the Car event hosted by the Financial Times. He added: "I do think it was not correct to ban Donald trump I think that was a mistake … It alienated a large part of the country and did not ultimately result in Donald Trump not having a voice.” Twitter banned Trump in the wake of the Jan. 6 riots, citing the risk of further violence. Musk is acquiring Twitter for roughly $44 billion, and has said he wants to promote free speech on the platform. "...alienated..."

CobraCommander Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 (edited) As someone who doesn’t use twitter could y’all just stop using it?

How many conservative social media platforms have been started since trump was banned? Hasn’t he started his own? Have they received any traction? He could incite it there if he wanted right? Must mean twitter has enough sway to make it a bad place. Edited May 10, 2022 by CobraCommander Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CobraCommander Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 If trump is allowed back on twitter will I be able to go in there and incite violence against him? Asking for a free speech absolutist. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
