     My post 9 was not about Elon's truths or facts..... that comment was about my own truths and facts that I post to help balance out the fake stuff that is regurgitated in this sub forum.  You or anyone else is welcome to call me out and I will, as I have done, respond in a manner that is within the guidelines and rules of covers.  

    Your comments on Mr. Musk are obviously very personal and derive from your opinion.  I do not argue with that.  That is your right, your call.  I always thought that ELON DOGE MUSK was a clown....I like that he bought an amazing AI resource machine called twitter.  I like that he is "disrupting the status quo".  That is what we need, let's change the world.  I don't like his neurolink program.  I don't like his 10 kids with 7 different women (something of that sort).  Those are my opinions, not facts.  I respect your opinion and expect vice versa. 

    No more politics sub for me till Monday....peace

    Aside from that who cares what a partisan kid thinks? Elon is an abusive smug condescending jerk. He is partisan as much as Don Lemon is for CNN, neither bring much of value to the table. Aside from his obvious biases I just dislike abusive people,

    he is a horrible example and is a political divider,

    I see no truth coming from him of any kind. Truth is not partisan, truth is not blanket biases and truth has no agenda....

    .

    Welp, pretty much sums up my thoughts to a tee

    @baish2012

    Before Elon Musk bought Twitter, slurs against Black Americans showed up on the social media service an average of 1,282 times a day. After the billionaire became Twitter’s owner, they jumped to 3,876 times a day.

    Slurs against gay men appeared on Twitter 2,506 times a day on average before Mr. Musk took over. Afterward, their use rose to 3,964 times a day.*

    *https://www.nytimes.com/2022/12/02/technology/twitter-hate-speech.html

    This uptrend of hatred toward African Americans and gays needs to be tackled and stopped.

    Post 9 is the most abusive thing I’ve read on this forum by far, how is that content not an instant ban? Only a warning doesn’t seem like the punishment fits the crime. Please ban this poster asap as I have never felt so insulted in my life. Thank you WSC

    Incredible.   Why do the lowlifes in our country feel emboldened by Musk to go from bad to worst?

    an_police  BANNED NEO-NAZI GETS TWITTER WELCOME FROM ELON MUSK

     


    HUFFPOST -

    Musk Welcomes A Notorious Neo-Nazi Troll Back On Twitter after Ten Year Ban

    an_light Andrew Anglin spent his first day back on Twitter
          defending Kanye West's antisemitic rants.

    Andrew Anglin ? a notorious neo-Nazi whose antisemitic conspiracy
    theories, white supremacist hate speech and alt-right trolling were
    deemed so dangerous that courts have ordered him to pay millions
    of dollars to his victims  was welcomed back to Twitter by Elon Musk
    on Thursday night after a nearly decade-long ban from the social media
    platform. Twitter had banned Anglin in 2013, the year he launched
    his neo-Nazi website, and he’s currently in hiding.

    Both those groups expressed alarm with what they are seeing occur on Twitter, one of the most influential communications platforms in the world.

    The Anti-Defamation League described the deteriorating state-of-affairs as a "troubling situation" that "will likely get worse, given the reported cuts to Twitter's content moderation staff."

    The reports came just hours after Kanye West's Twitter account was suspended after he posted an altered image of the Star of David with a swastika inside and appeared on Alex Jones' Infowars, where he praised Hitler.

    "A safe space for hate is a hostile environment to most decent folks," Ahmed added, "by means of comparison, who would want to sit in a cafe or pub where crazies are screaming expletives and bigotry, let alone have the chutzpah to claim that it was democratically-essential debate?"

    The research by CCDH and ADL purport to show a different phenomenon, however, highlighting the frequency and incidences of hate speech on the platform in general.  Musk said going forward, Twitter will share its data on hate speech impressions on a weekly basis.

    anything is better than rogue individuals taking it upon themselves to censor based on their "feelings". 

     

    By 2020, requests from connected actors to delete tweets were routine. One executive would write to another: “More to review from the Biden team.” The reply would come back: “Handled.”   

    https://twitter.com/mtaibbi/status/1598827602403160064/photo/1

     

    Can't make this stuff up....  The "twitter files" were delayed due to an "internal scrubbing" of data prior to the complete files being sent to journalists Matt Taibbi and Bari Weiss.   

     

    On Tuesday, Twitter Deputy General Counsel (and former FBI General Counsel) Jim Baker was fired. Among the reasons? Vetting the first batch of “Twitter Files” – without knowledge of new management.  The process for producing the “Twitter Files” involved delivery to two journalists (Bari Weiss and me) via a lawyer close to new management. However, after the initial batch, things became complicated.

    -Taibbi

     

    So the release of Twitter files showing information suppression collusion among Twitter execs, FBI and Biden campaign team members was first edited internally without authorization.  The exact issue with the suppression of the truth, taken upon by senior individuals within Twitter (not to Jack's knowledge allegedly) is the SAME problem Twitter just experienced under current Elon regime.  Why would Elon still have the same former FBI general counsel on payroll if this was previously known??  Strange.

    Sure, but some people classify anything that opposes their POV as hate speech, too. Studies show that "real" hate speech on Twitter has actually gone down since Musk took over, despite what lefties want to claim.
