Agree on all fronts Rump, I have little or no interest in Twitter or Musks plans (absolutely agree with Knobby re Musks engineering genus) but would never trust any billionaires judgment of social issues or media (perhaps exception for Warren Buffett).

And yes freedom for Musk but not the peasants

Didn't Twitter share price tank after Trump got pushed?

So you hate diversity and inclusion as well.

Here is the best part - Elon doesn't own Twitter yet. All the changes are internal existing twitter employees sabotaging.

The left are purging and deleting evidence before the new owner.

Just goes to show you how much BS and bias has been going on.....
 
What is Shadow banning

Shadow banning, also called stealth banning, ghost banning or comment ghosting, is the practice of blocking or partially blocking a user or their content from some areas of an online community in such a way that it will not be readily apparent to the user that they have been banned. For instance, shadow banned comments posted to a blog or media website will not be visible to other users accessing the site.

By partly concealing, or making a user's contributions invisible or less prominent to other members of the service, the hope may be that in the absence of reactions to their comments, the problematic or otherwise out-of-favour user will become bored or frustrated and leave the site, and that spammers and trolls will be discouraged to continue their unwanted behavior or create new accounts.


A Twitter source leaked an internal slack channel reconfirming shadowbanning is indeed real.

Twitter executives have used Orwellian doublespeak to explain their ‘Terms of Service’ and how they moderate content on their platform.

In 2018, Project Veritas released an undercover video showing Twitter engineers bragging about how they target pro-Trump accounts by banning them or hiding their content.
  • Steven Pierre, Twitter engineer explains “shadow banning,” says “it’s going to ban a way of talking”
  • Former Twitter software engineer Abhinav Vadrevu on shadow banning: “they just think that no one is engaging with their content, when in reality, no one is seeing it”
  • Former Twitter Content Review Agent Mo Norai explains banning process: “if it was a pro-Trump thing and I’m anti-Trump… I banned his whole account… it’s at your discretion”

We need to hear both sides of the debate/point and be able to talk about it in rational speak. I think it is very healthy to criticise both sides of the political spectrum.

If the pendulum swings too far to the left or right, it is no good. Middle ground is good (IMO).

I think that ASF is the best website in Australia (top 2 in the world) where the public (mostly Australians) can openly comment on both sides of the political spectrum (within reason) and not get banned/censored. Joe has done a great job to be honest and l think it is underappreciated.

The points made have nothing to do with diversity and inclusion (I voted yes did you?) and as for hating anything that's more the province of the self proclaimed righteous.

It's everything to do with diversity and inclusion, clearly you are bigoted and blinded by hate.

haha hardly breaking news... like saying its breaking news that Hillary doesn't like Russia.

It seems Elon has stepped into the media void left when Trump departed the Whitehouse. More and more he's being written about. Selling clickbait around the world. Elon for his part seems to be embracing this as well.

Doesn't seem unrelated that Musk starts investing heavily in media platforms and concurrently starts being discussed heavily in media platforms.

It's like he is a puppet master pulling strings.

People all over the world of every age and educational background know what Tesla, SpaceX and Starlink are.

The guy is a true marketing / brand recognition genius without equal.
 
Looks like Musk doesn't want to pay for twitter anymore.
Trying to pull out without having to pay the break fee.
