Elon Musk buys a big chunk of Twitter
-
I am wondering why they suspended advertising.
The reason given by advertisers seems to be uncertainty.
But if you dig a little deeper, the talking point is that Twitter now allows hate, vulgar and hostile rhetoric aimed at people based on their race, religion, ethnicity and orientation, such as the "n-word," "k-word," and "f-word,".
I can see where those things might be impolite or unpleasant for some.
It also seems that democrats hate Mr. Musk, republicans seem to be more tolerant.

Maybe Texas will pass a law that you can’t stop advertising on Twitter if you operate in Texas, and you can’t not operate in texas.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

Slow infield fly, even if Elon hadn’t already made the joke a couple of days ago.
DON’T let them eat cake.

That sounds like a lady I know. Never had her as a boss, but I know people who did. 100++++% dedicated to work. No outside life at all. My friend got a text (or email) from her at something like 1 am, and then got "chewed out" because he did not answer it until 8 am the next morning.

8 bucks a month for Twitter?
Well.
Note that Musk agrees.

18 years ago that happened to me after my employer in WI was purchased. I have no emotional memory of having been fired so I guess I didn’t care much. But my team was oopsed back into employment soon thereafter. Then several months later we were given an ultimatum to move to CA, because they couldn’t fathom maintaining a remote team. That’s when my total domination of an entire leftist state began. After that process was complete, I moved on.

By the way, was this a rule previously on Twitter? Seems like no, since he said “going forward….”
But then he said he was making no moderation changes until his committee meets. But that was a couple of days ago so who knows.

I guess it depends on how you define "moderation." I would think that impersonating someone else falls outside of the traditional definition.
BTW, she signed back in, using her (dead) mother's account to comment.
Someone said, "That's like getting thrown out of a party because you pissed in the punch bowl, and then dressing up like someone else, asking to be let back in."
