God do I miss the good ol’ times of msn messenger, Napster and weekly tv shows episodes from the 90s. This whole tech era is destroying the very fabric of social life. Good thing I got a choice and have agency. Nature is on the menu tomorrow and the day after as well. Good night. Be nice to each other. Timeout!
Got a tip for us?

Yeah I can tell what that happens to certain people. My inbox goes from being flooded with dislikes to being flooded with anger or laughing reactions.
Why wasn’t Leslie Jones banned when she went off rail on ghostbuster movie (hate spreading was on both side)
Btw- ghost buster afterlife main lead is a young female child. I think that was a great movie. Far better than the reboot.
and Elon is using his free speech to let us all know, what's the problem.
To quote yourself, prove it please. You cry victim more than you make sense.
Yes to hate speech.
Here’s Proof Hate Speech Is More Viral on Elon Musk’s Twitter
Researchers monitoring a “firehose” of public tweets found signs of increasing toxicity—before Elon Musk reversed bans on Trump and other divisive figures.
Please show me the tweets where he did that. Because I checked his page and the last tweets he posted before being banned didn't have anything that says that.
In fact in those tweets, he says to be peaceful twice. Almost like they wanted to get those hidden to help the false narrative you just posted.

I assume you mean he'd only pay 15% because he'd qualify for the small business rate, pulling in under $1M revenue per year
I went ahead and downloaded Twitter on my iPhone and logged in.
Usually I only go on twitter over the browser but I'm now on the app.
This is crazy.
Another feel good leftist wacko company all while they screw over their employees in china and us too.
Go Elon!

I have absolutely no idea what even the issue is with Elon and Twitter. From what I see what so far happened is that the guy is trying to slim down the company and try new things to find a better balance in terms of moderation. Yeah, he's doing it in his own provocative way, and yeah, I don't like his communication style either for the most part. Honestly, nothing much has changed effectively. The site runs fine and it's still the same mix of poor quality content it always has been, as much as people now retroactively claim that it was ever different
Yet, when you listen to mainstream media and companies, it feels like they are trying to push the perception that Twitter is somehow at the brink of death. That strikes me as a classic reflexive tactic: if enough people buy that, it will happen (which is really how most people work; nobody actually checks for themselves, if their favorite people sound negative, they will uncritically adopt that attitude). In the end, what's really going on is pretty simple and obvious: it's social progressives that can't handle that once in a long while someone who doesn't appear to celebrate every single thing they come up with has control over something that they perceive as a key instrument for their social engineering efforts. This is purely political, there's no substantial danger in any of this, no matter how much people who don't like Elon for whatever reason wish for it.

The thrust of the article was about Musk calling out on Apple as being anti-free speech because Apple had decided to reduce (eliminate?) it's advertisements on Twitter. It is at the end of the article in about one statement that the article mentions Elon is going to think about creating a phone if Apple moves to ban Twitter, the app. I read the article to be really about the former (i.e. free speech issue) not about the status of the Twitter app in the Apple app store.
It seems that as of right now, talks of a Twitter app potentially being banned in the Apple app store is just rumours? Not sure.
Thanks for showing us that you aren't to be engaged with seriously. You are dangerous though, and I take that seriously.
Try the Internet Archive. People delete tweets and make it seem like it never existed. The Internet never forgets, though.
Whether his parents had money or not, it has been proven that he is a self made billionaire. You just hate to see people successful. Here's a little timeline to help you out:
1995: He sold a game for 500$ that he wrote
1995: He borrowed $28K from his father to start Zip2
1999: Compaq bought Zip2 and he himself got 7%, or 22million
2000: He co-founded X.com with 10million from the sale of Zip 2, which turned to PayPal
2000: PayPal was sold to eBay and he received $165million himself
2002: He founded SpaceX with $100million that he has earned so far
2006: He invested $30million into Tesla
So tell me, when did he inherit the money from his parents?
Also, I'm FAR from a liberal my friend.
One, I have no idea what you're talking about so apparently you must follow or remember pop culture BS far more than I do. Two, this has nothing to do with what I said.
What?
When did he do this....lol...what a joke.
Are you just listening/watching/reading the far-left media?
Did you disagree with something I said or are you just commenting on style?
You are definitely a liberal. You just don't understand anything which isn't surprising.
Keep in mind, I said nothing of inheritance, you did. I ask again, are you saying he had no advantages and is purely self-made? If so, your liberal status is glowing.
you mean this....https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1346912780700577792?s=20&t=pyDJmKEh7kUKMnca0UZVOw
Lmao! This is why Twitter is open now, can’t control the narrative and can actively question it
The point is Twitter ban prior to Elon was very one sided.
You are the one claiming that Elon is spreading hate when he unbanned accounts.
When other side spread hate speech and not being banned is ok.
BTW I hated the reboot- because it was such a bad movie with no plot. All they did was created a female version of same sexual insult- except you have Thor instead of Anne pots being the sexual object
Thats the thing. Now that his Twitter account is active again and can see what was all said, their argument has no value.
Wait, did they do that to lie to the public? Gee, so weird why everyone is upset
Even Pence himself said Trump's tweets were reckless that day, but nice try at revisionism. Maybe the fact that Trump's own VP can see an issue here, but that you cannot should clue you in that maybe, just maybe, the one with a skewed perspective on this one is you.
Pence escalates criticism of Trump’s Jan. 6 actions, calling him ‘reckless’
Former vice president Mike Pence, a potential 2024 presidential contender, said Donald Trump "endangered" his family and others in the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
