So was Apple Newton but today we have the iPad.
Other messaging apps like Telegram have features very similar to Twitter, no reason Apple can’t incorporate them in iMessage.
Got a tip for us?

Appears from this thread a number of Twitter users are now leaving Twitter without knowing what the transaction entails nor what changes will occur.
Snicker.
Snicker.
The irony of an article that invokes a huge debate on censorship, with that debate raging on the most sensitive, excessively moderated platform I've ever experienced. I'm often left jaw-dropped in surprise at the things that have had me suspended from this site.
I personally don't care what occurs. I refuse to endorse anything owned by Musk.
Is discussing moderation even within the rules here?
He plans to make the algorithms transparent. As a place for public discourse this is huge. That is a positive change for social media.
I find that macrumors is moderated according to their rules and decisions are made conservatively. Unlike Twitter that makes decisions based on helping friends.
In the US….that is already the case. We can say whatever we want and don’t have to ask the government.
Twitter is on another level of moderation and needs to be knocked down at the knees.
And I'd like to keep it that way. People keep throwing the word "misinformation" out there, as if that justifies censoring people's right to speak. People in this country are allowed to be wrong. The double standard on Twitter is also hypocritical on epic levels, such as letting literal terrorist organizations tweet the death of other people and countries and aren't censored. It's honestly mind boggling. There are a lot of people I don't agree with, but they are absolutely allowed to say the things I don't agree with. I don't like what they're saying, but their freedom to say it is extremely important.
That can’t be the case. He is proposing using open source AI first, and a backup of humans. All moderation decisions publicly available as a record of the tweet. If he was treated differently, it would be part of the record.
This thread is quite amusing. I never saw so many people afraid to hear what other people have to say. It's a sad comment on the state of our public discourse. I understand the fear -- as set forth in the following Atlantic article -- social media has lead to tribalism and dissemination of fringe ideologies from the political left and right. However, such concerns can be addresses through prudent regulation without resorting to closing off access entirely and limiting speech. Censorship of threatening ideas is not the answer.
As noted by the author of the piece:
The Facebook whistleblower Frances Haugen advocates for simple changes to the architecture of the platforms, rather than for massive and ultimately futile efforts to police all content. For example, she has suggested modifying the “Share” function on Facebook so that after any content has been shared twice, the third person in the chain must take the time to copy and paste the content into a new post. Reforms like this are not censorship; they are viewpoint-neutral and content-neutral, and they work equally well in all languages. They don’t stop anyone from saying anything; they just slow the spread of content that is, on average, less likely to be true.

It’s not just a phase.
He also has plans to have fully self driving cars by then end of this year*
*"this year" being the year that you ask him when it'll happen.
We all waste too much time on social media anyway. I probably spend too much time on MR. I know people that constantly post crap on FaceBook about the most inane details of their lives. Twitter is a place where people with no credentials can express opinions about stuff that know nothing about and get a million views. Why we all bother with it is beyond me.
There you go; my post about posting on a posting board. Three minutes of my life I will never get back.

Wrong. The first amendment does that. Free speech and the first amendment are not one and the same. When people are talking about the concept of free speech, that may include the first amendment, but it is not exclusive to it.
I wouldn't have thought anyone was afraid to hear what others have to say. It is a worry when lies and mistruths and hatred are prevalent, however, when the constant repeating of them has a propound negative impact upon many millions of people.
Different boss, same as the old boss.

It's hilarious that anyone thinks there's some big secret sauce of algorithmic magic on Twitter....or that anything like that is "suppressing speech!!"
The service isn't tiktok -- at all
So many people complaining they were "silenced" simply ran afoul of the terms of service.

I was so hoping this would happen. Looking forward to the great migration of the woke who are fleeing their (hopefully) upturned echo chamber. Having all voices be heard, regardless of how mean they may sound to you, is the definition of inclusion you pedants.
