Not far fetched at all. Obvious, in fact. Always find it mad how people on Twitter rush to pile on someone without doing even the most basic of research. Instead of taking 5 seconds to read the tweet being responded to, they’ll spend 5 minutes screen grabbing to craft their “gotcha” tweet. So weird.I feel dirty already, but that Tweet bij Elmo was in response to a picture about Madagascar wildlife which has been isolated for 88 million years or some such (easy to find in the thread) and he responds to that. This may be a bit farfetched?
I'm gonna take a shower now.

He might have a point in a different context but to not even bother working out the context…I meant calling it a nazi dog whistle is far fetched.

this will annoy some people; i cant wait for twitter to collapse
New user signups being at an all time high would suggest to me that they are no longer catching people(/bots?) signing up fraudulently. Which would be ironic given the excuses Musk was trying to use to get out of buying Twitter.Tweet

Ah you're just acting the bollocks now replying like that, to be honest . Hope the workers are fine and are brought on by whomever buys it out, or better yet move to a higher-paying job where your CEO isn't a psychopath. No need to create aggro by twisting my intention for no reason. Your last point is absolute horseshit.Revelling in a company collapsing and its employees becoming jobless… nice.
Anyway you’ll likely be waiting forever anyway.
A dislike for Musk is fine, your other view point there is likely as bad as anything you dislike him for
He probably thinks programmers pull levers at the twitter factory all day to keep it runningTweet

I know in my last programming job I spent most of my day pulling so he's not 100% offHe probably thinks programmers pull levers at the twitter factory all day to keep it running
To be fair, I don't think this is wrong though. The majority of people in these tech companies do jack shit. These companies are bloated beyond all reason.Tweet

No you were acting the bollocks with your distasteful post.Ah you're just acting the bollocks now replying like that, to be honest .

Not the majority no. There would of course have been a lot of fat just like all the overvalued tech firms. And most of the fat wouldn't even be the tech staff by the way.To be fair, I don't think this is wrong though. The majority of people in these tech companies do jack shit. These companies are bloated beyond all reason.
Kind of. I've worked in tech for 15+ years now. As with most jobs, 80% of the work is done by 20% of the people. Or something like that. I've had roles where I've routinely worked 100+ hour weeks and roles where I've worked less than 10.To be fair, I don't think this is wrong though. The majority of people in these tech companies do jack shit. These companies are bloated beyond all reason.
Good man yourself.No you were acting the bollocks with your distasteful post.
Thinking he will fail is one thing. Wishing for the company to collapse is another. I twisted non of your words
They call it free speech. So it is a good thing.mRNA trending on Twitter, and not for good reasons. The amount of batshit crazy and outright lies on there is breathtaking. Lots of people with "MD" in their name but bot looking handles posting loads of bullshit. The medical breakthrough of the decade is going to be rejected by millions because of a torrent of misinformation that is exponentially more visible now thanks to this dipshit.
It's scary how medical professionals were being censored before.mRNA trending on Twitter, and not for good reasons. The amount of batshit crazy and outright lies on there is breathtaking.

Not sure if serious.It's scary how medical professionals were being censored before.
Yeah, there are thousands of people in all the large tech companies doing absolutely nothing, all day, every day.To be fair, I don't think this is wrong though. The majority of people in these tech companies do jack shit. These companies are bloated beyond all reason.
Not totally, but the idea of free speech is to let people decide for themselves. At least on paper, that's how it should work.Not sure if serious.
Indeed, probably watching TV while their 1 year old sleeps for 16 hours a day.To be fair, I don't think this is wrong though. The majority of people in these tech companies do jack shit. These companies are bloated beyond all reason.
That is indeed not how it should work. If we know for a fact that something is not true, we should step in and stop people from pretending it is. Especially if the consequences are this harmful. We don’t need an open dialogue about everything. Sometimes we have all the facts.Not totally, but the idea of free speech is to let people decide for themselves.

Most things aren't in black and white, but for the ones that are, by all means use the fact checker function. I just think that banning people because they look/act like a dodgy doctor only serves to create more martyrs.That is indeed not how it should work.

Then so be it. But in my opinion a platform like Twitter can’t ever accept people pretending to be medical professionals spouting factually wrong stuff. This can never be tolerated because of how dangerous it is. I would go as far as to say that Twitter, if they don’t put believable effort into stopping this stuff, should be held liable for damages. It’s their platform and their immense responsibility.Most things aren't in black and white, but for the ones that are, by all means use the fact checker function.

You make it more difficult than it has to be. As far as I’m concerned, not a single country worldwide lives by standards of absolute freedom of speech. So we know that distinction is indeed possible. The best example is German law towards holocaust denial. We know for a fact that it happened. So denying the holocaust is a crime. It’s that simple. And in the same way, we know that mRNA based vaccinations aren’t a scheme to kill millions of people worldwide. So claiming this shit, should be followed by a swift ban from whatever platform that nonsense got spouted on. And yes, I’m fully aware that grey areas exist. They need to be accounted for. Something courts worldwide do every single day. So clear cases get treated like that. Less clear cases get treated accordingly and so on.And who decides if we have all the facts?
You? The Supreme Chancellor of planet Earth? Communist party committee? Or are we just depending on divine intervention or their messengers?

To me, platforms like Twitter, but also the caf here for example, are similar to publishers of literature and so on. They have a clear responsibility to moderate and regulate their platform. Otherwise the law can step in. So I don’t really see the issue. We’re already doing it every day. It’s the reason you can’t spell out certain words on here. And I’m very sure claiming mRNA vaccines are destroying the world, despite all evidence to the contrary, will get you banned here as well. Same if I were to make fraudulent claims about you as a person. I’m sure you’d happily see the caf intervene in such cases.
The question isn't who but how to decide. This is the foundation of the scientific community. A broad consensus an commitment to various defined protocols of truth, fact and prediction that can then be tested and verified by peers.And who decides if we have all the facts?
You? The Supreme Chancellor of planet Earth? Communist party committee? Or are we just depending on divine intervention or their messengers?
No idea. Never bothered researching this specific topic. If there is a clear scientifical consens towards one side, than probably yes. Probably because there are layers to these things and to the way they are claimed, of course. But if someone on here were to constantly claim this and we have clear evidence to the contrary, they should be gone.Should someone get banned for saying that the lab leak theory shouldn't be discounted immediately?
I don't have issues with banning holocaust denialists. I have issues with banning people for discussing things for which there isn't yet scientific consensus.No idea.

But let’s turn things around. Should you be allowed to claim the holocaust didn’t happen? And why?
Sure. And again, I can’t judge the theory you mentioned. But it’s important to me to work out that we agree that there are things that we as a society can not accept. Now as to where this begins, is obviously a matter of discussion and not as easy. But if there is a clear and obvious scientific consensus, there’s no reason for us to not adhere to it.I don't have issues with banning holocaust denialists. I have issues with banning people for discussing things for which there isn't yet scientific consensus.
By the way, I don't know if the latter happened on Twitter. What I do know is that fraud and shoddy methods exist in science and I'd rather we not ban everyone for just being sceptical.
The majority of employees hired in the last 3-4 years certainly, most of them have doubled in headcount with no material increase in product offerings.To be fair, I don't think this is wrong though. The majority of people in these tech companies do jack shit. These companies are bloated beyond all reason.
