Some of y'all truly don't understand how laws work 

[Anthinos]

Everyone can see that what is happening on Twitter at the moment is extreme and dangerous. This is not about freedom of expression. You can express your opinions on other social media sites. I find lawless free speech problematic. Social media and tech billionaires should not be above our laws and our government.

What I don't understand is that many people see that Musk is dangerous and still stay on twitter and keep him and his popularity alive, and all because of stan twitter? There are plenty of alternatives. Just find a new site and be done with it.

Again I can agree Twitter has become a cesspool, but it is things like this that I consider massive overstepping and scary censorship by the government.

It is not censorship. The company was operating iligally. No company, specially not international companies, should be able to contervene laws, nor over-rule the government (which is how society organises itself) because you are a rich company/individual. That would be a very dark precedent that could see whole countries fall at the mercy of coorporations. No way.

Its time for all the tech-heads from the states and the top universities to create a new social network and just move away from TWITTER
Lets repeat the 2009-2010.

I wouldn't like this at all. Where would we get real- time news about crimes and atrocities being committed in Gaza, for instance? I don't like Elon Musk at all but Twitter /X is where we get unfiltered content of what's happening in the world.

Instagram, for instance, although it keeps censoring/demoting/shadow-banning content related to Palestine too. As much as I used to love Twitter, it's become a literal cesspool. I do like getting information in real-time but Elon's corrupt ass must be stopped.

I remember when being left-wing meant being for a free and open internet.

Twitter nowadays is full of naz*s. Since twitter itself can't seem to bother to get rid of them, I'm all in for countries getting rid of twitter

Idk, maybe a new timeline based app that isn't obsessed with being as fringe offensive as possible?

 

If you want what twitter is offering, try 4chan

Yeah, maybe before we weren't forced onto a "for you" page that shows unsolicited content from right wing grifters and nazis, gore and porn.

 

Twitter is an actual cesspool and I hope other countries follow suit with this until Elon has no more power. The damage Twitter has done and Elon's enabling of Trump, libsoftiktok and others collectively is horrifying.

It still darling.

 

Now, how exactly the richest man on the planet controlling a social media according to his whims and refusing to follow national law because the president is center-left related to "free and open internet"? Care to explain?

I'd love to hear how you guys justify a billionaire thinking he is above following the national law. The floor is yours babe.

Bluesky is #1 at the Brazilian app stores and **** is going viral there with crazy huge numbers so Brazilians legit adopted the app.

 

Which is funny because Threads is right there and yet no one wants it.

[Lagerfeld]

Ohhh, Stan Twitter is OVER!

[Velvet Night]

Good job, Brazil! 

Laws apply to everyone, if you're going to operate a business in different countries you have to obey the laws of those countries. You don't get to thumb your nose at them because you're Elon Musk.

 

I hope the EU follows suit soon.
