Elon Musk and Twitter

Every single Democrat on twitter should quit and go to truth social
TS is actually pretty great and I'm just using beta web app. Don't have an iPhone. There dont seem to be any bots and you can actually have a real conversation.
 
I would agree but then Mark has beaten me to the punch, is a corporation an animate object?

And back to the bots, couldn't Russia just claim they are tools to amplify the voices of animate objects?

I believe in free speech. But people, on all sides, test that as I am not positive that free speech means one has the ability to lie to advance one's beliefs. That has become too much a part of the modern discourse and current evidence suggests we are crap at telling lies. In Talking to Strangers, Gladwell discussed a study testing people on lies and found that yes, even CIA agents, police, judges, and lawyers, could not distinguish lies any better than other Americans. If people can so successfully lie and shape policy, shouldn't a Twitter or a Facebook have the ability and the right to point them out?

And Russian bots do play both sides. I am sure many on the left bought into this narrative at the time of Ferguson. https://money.cnn.com/2017/09/28/media/blacktivist-russia-facebook-twitter/index.html

It's the far left AND the far right that fall victim to this crap. idealogues want to believe something so they do. I wonder if Russia devotes ANY troll farms to go after the American middle? I doubt they spend much time at it. So those that believe in DINO and RINO, you are the ones Russia believes to be stupid enough to fall for their tricks.
I think the analysis is far simpler.

Why are the comments and message areas of electronic news media, message boards, Twitter, Facebook and similar outlets so full of lies, libel, insults, crap and other garbage? Pretty simple -- they have immunity.

Traditional print newspapers and magazines have just about always published letters to the editor and other third party content from the public (including direct quotations in news stories) because their readers like to read comments from other readers. However, because those newspapers and magazines were always legally liable for the content of those third-party contributions, many people don't realize they always screened and still do screen the content of letters to the editor etc., just as they always screened defamatory remarks from their reports of statements by the subjects of their interviews -- they were liable. Newspapers and magazines simply did not publish anything similar to what people get away with on the internet.

What form did this take? Well, newspapers often require each letter to the editor to include the name, address and phone number of the sender. If a sender got carried away and included obscene or defamatory content in his/her letter, he might well get a phone call from the newspaper asking if he minded if the newspaper published the rest of the letter without the offensive content.

The current state of internet lies, libel, insults, crap and other garbage is surely related directly to the federal immunity given to these outlets. Only rich people like Curt Schilling have found even a partial solution to internet abusers by investigating and identifying them:


It's not complicated.

Tax the bots! Tax the robots, too!

I meant that if they turned truth social into the hotspot for Dems
 
You idiots finally turned Musk into voting Republican.

it’s too bad we can’t get the names of dumbasses like yourself to confirm you’ve accomplished nothing of consequence in your life.
Musk is a South African.

Keep that in mind as we all try to figure out what he thinks he can get away with.
 
Gee, Elon Musk never told me that until now he only voted for Democrats. Actually, it was quite the contrary, but now it seems, with all of his problems with a probably illegal purchase of a crummy phony account loaded company, Fake Twitter, he wants to be a Republican because the Dems are “a Party of hate.” I could have told him that a long time ago, but actually they are a Party of sickness, greed, corruption & absolutely horrible policy. Good luck Elon, have fun!!! https://truthsocial.com/users/realDonaldTrump/statuses/108334198592000413

I just searched "Elon Musk Sexual Predator" on Google and found exactly three stories about it.

In none of them did the media accuse him of being a sexual predator, a flight attendant did.

The 3 outlets were Newsweek, Daily Mail and Business Insider.
Supposedly, he exposed himself according to a friend of a friend while at Space X. The story made waves shortly after he announced he was voting pub.

He must have known one party would accept that behavior. Y'all love the alphas who "expose" the libs.
