Barrier to entry for new companies is that popularity/usefulness of platform is based on #s. Twitter was the first to get there so has dominance. Same thing for FB and a lot of social media.
Its a well known glitch. Happens all the time. I follow all sides on Twitter. Search for yourself about likes on twitter. Its broke.
And you are the one obviously delusional if you don't think thats true what I posted.

Private parties can censor things in their control. That fits the dictionary definition.
It's legal; government censorship is not.
But what if the Queen Bee is a company? To be sure, I don't think Twitter is that at all.
It's a marketplace of ideas. Twitter is winning. Maybe it will win even more with Musk at the helm. I have no idea. I think he's gonna find that running a social media platform will drive him crazy.
Sure, but I don't believe for a second that's the context in which it's being discussed here.

I'm guessing Musk is going to focus most of his time on making Twitter more profitable. Its profitability lags its popularity and name-recognition by a large margin.
In cahoots with the administration? That deserves a response that sucks.
Musks views are all over the map.

He has some liberal views, he has some conservative views. He isn't moderate in that he doesn't seek to moderate positions in some areas. He can have extreme positions on both sides of various issues.
I think you will see the gate get opened a bit. Like Libsoftiktok is probably not going to be getting put on suspensions for reposting others content or Project Veritas getting banned.
It is stuff like that I think that annoyed folks from the right.
Who amongst us hasn't missed the quality content of HunterBidenHunter123456?The Democrats won’t be able to censor free speech at Twitter anymore.
The 2020 election might have been different if Musk had owned Twitter. There wouldn’t have been censorship of Republican free speech.
Now Musk will deal with the Democrat weaponization of the DOJ and FBI.
Musk begins his Twitter ownership with firings, declares the 'bird is freed'
Elon Musk has taken ownership of Twitter Inc with brutal efficiency, firing top executives but providing little clarity over how he will achieve the ambitions he has outlined for the influential social media platform.www.reuters.com
Politics Twitter does nothing but make it harder to find sports and dog posts.

On B, I never stated it was illegal. I assume that is what you were getting at? Elon Musk decided it was too much and took over (or the market is correcting itself). There does need to be a discussion on what is the marketplace of ideas are, in 2022. It's moved online and is no longer the town square.
FB isn't a social media org anymore. It's an entertaiment conglomerate. Which was a pretty smart move TBF.
Libs in full blown panic mode.

Welcome to hell, Elon
Owning Twitter means owning a host of impossible political problems. Is Elon ready?

I meant he’s going to endure investigations, not be able to stop them. He’s on the wrong side.
All i see are SEC investigations regarding the Twitter sale.
Do you mean to tell me you don't think the government noses around in just about every sale this large? Bish please.
In stoll’s victimhood world, only masters of finance like Musk and him are investigated. It’s all so unfair.
What is a platform? Is it a publisher? Sometimes. Is it the town square? Sometimes.
Agree we need to think seriously about how we deal with online noise. But that can of worms is way too big and complex for our geriatric Congress or SC to ever take on.
He’s not going to do anything about DOJ. They will be investigating him. He’s on wrong side now.
what? they're nerds. tech geeks. it's in their wheelhouse. sittin at a coffee shop with their arsenal of apple products. tweeting their opinions. conservatives are too busy running companies. or waiting for deer season. they exchange their beliefs in line at cabela's, red assed about how those no good dems jacked up the price of their redheads and redwings. dems watch that noah guy and jimmy and retweet clips of their show. pubs shout F Brandon at the Ole Miss game or daytona 500.

So the Dem v. Pub split can be distilled down to nerds and theater kids v. jocks?
Damn it, all of life really is just like high school.

While all that is true he’ll now be called Fascist by the loons on the left.Musks views are all over the map.

i think we're evenly, eerily divided as a country in how we think. what's more the issues are inherently polar. not good. we're two countries of people stuck on one land at this point
You really should see The Main Board. God what a cesspool. I really need to stop going there. Maybe next week. Or definitely the one after that.

This is much dumber - maybe that’s too harsh so let’s say naive - than you usually are.
He probably will. I don't know that I think he is anything but an opportunist. If he thinks he can score points with a position, he'll take that position. If it helps him financially to change, he'll change. What's best for Musk is his position.
is it social media or hollywood, tv, and news? marv wrote he has very little political activity on facebook. i have next to none. on my instagram the only political activity is pete buttigieg slidin into my Dms and i just delete those. so i hear that about social media and you could absolutely be right but i wonder. again i love facebook. it's been a wonderful way for the soccer community and old friends to keep up when we certainly would not have otherwise
If true, good. Trump should be back on as well. I don't believe in silencing stupid ideas or people.
On this very forum, I see a lot of conservatives nuts from Twitter being reposted. That big ole oak has a lot of acorns.
It’s probably just a demographic thing. The moon bats are younger and more online, especially the social media space. The nutters are older and watch more Fox News and scroll on FB. So maybe Twitter seems more left just based on volume. Will we see a discernible change? No idea.
