Merged Musk buys Twitter!/ Elon Musk puts Twitter deal on hold....

[Fast Eddie B]

Quite the drama.

In short, Tate tweeted this, and you can see Greta’s reply:

To which Tate posted a video. In that video was a pizza box. The printing on that box allowed Romanian officials to locate and arrest Tate. And Greta replied “This is what happens when you don’t recycle your pizza boxes.”

Sweet!

Shock, horror, misleading covid information was fact-checked by Twitter in an attempt to save lives.

But no, ominous stuff, according to deniers.

True information was censored as well. Why is that of no concern?

Birds of a feather and all that....

"Controversial" social media personality Andrew Tate has been arrested in Romania for human trafficking:

Andrew Tate was suspended from Twitter for claiming that women bear responsibility for being sexually assaulted. Elon Musk has recently reinstated his account. I'm sure that Twitter's advertisers are jumping at the opportunity to be associated with this kind of individual.

Yeah there will be some interesting revelations there. Horrible stuff.

Oh. And this too.

Twitter outage: Elon Musk says ‘works for me’ as users report problems with website

Let's totally disrespect your customers. That always works well.

Citations?

Examples were given in that very Twitter thread Orphia linked. Including someone citing CDC statistics.

Why on earth does anyone want Twitter trying to act as a fact checker and censoring on that basis? They are not competent to do so. They proved that many times over. There was never any institutional capacity to take on that role.

Seems like a pretty good summary of Elon Musk's speech policies at Twitter and the Twitter files.

I pretty much agree with what Sam Harris says about most things here about how the Twitter files mostly showed people in good faith trying to figure out how to avoid their platform signal boosting bad information, such as a possibly dubiously sourced laptop, and some obviously bad Covid and vaccine takes that shaded off towards less obviously bad, and possibly correct Covid information that had to be flagged by bots, rather than the right-wing narrative that Twitter was the public square whose free speech was being suppressed by a liberal government (especially given that Trump was the president at the time of the Hunter Biden laptop story).

The funniest comment I've heard about Tate is that he looks like what you'd get if you tried to draw Pitbull from memory.

So bovine excrement is "true information" now? Pull the other one, it's got bells on.

 

[Fast Eddie B]

For what it’s worth, Romanian authorities are denying the pizza box in the video is what led them to Tate’s whereabouts.

You didn't read the thread, did you? Twitter censored citations of peer reviewed scientific research, and even the CDCs own statistics. That wasn't bull ****, that was the truth.

Because, frankly nothing that's come out of these twitter files articles have been anything other than rubbish. The reason Musk set his minions to "reveal" Covid "coverups" is because he's an anti-vaxxer sore that the science (as is usual) disagrees with his pronouncements.

It's even baser than that, it's because the science led to imposing restrictions on the way he could run his businesses.

They never sausage evidence?

No, as spicy as it was it still fell flat.

I gave you the citation. It was the Twitter thread that Orphia linked. It gave multiple specific examples where factually correct info was censored. You haven't read that thread, have you?

Nope. Which you would know if you had read that link. But you didn't.

You’re not talking about “The Twitter Files”, are you? One of the least transparent non-journalistic, non-contextual propaganda dump of all times? The one crafted to reinforce the cognitive bias of the right-wing extremists?

Is that the source you’re citing?
