Oh right of course, but please explain the contradictionI'm not a liberal, so you're wrong already.

Initially it was like that then after the blowback moderation was tightened, and now it is going again in the other direction. And you didn't say anything about the account reinstatements.That was already happening for years and years. Loads of screenshots of racists laughing at people posting failed reports on them where overt racist language didn't get them kicked off
I don't think moderation should ever have been tightened as it was (shadowbanning of popular accounts for political reasons) so I don't really care that they've now gone the other route of being far too lax. Most of the N word spamming was a reaction to a perception that they couldn't be banned for it anymore and became a meme on its ownInitially it was like that then after the blowback moderation was tightened, and now it is going again in the other direction.

The contradiction is that you first claim that only liberals and corporations care about this, and that it has everything to do with American politics, and then you mock someone who isn't American, claiming their opinion doesn't matter. Which is it? Either only liberals and corporations care about it because of the American politics, or non-Americans with opinions about it unrelated to American elections are irrelevant.Oh right of course, but please explain the contradiction
So antisemitism is fair game then?I don't think moderation should ever have been tightened as it was (shadowbanning of popular accounts for political reasons) so I don't really care that they've now gone the other route of being far too lax.

Only liberals and corporations care about it because of the midterms (corporations are not so much politically motivated but they know liberal consumers will be more motivated for boycotts etc if they don't make an early move). And yes non-American opinions are the absolute last anyone with a big say in this will consider. Its not a contradiction.The contradiction is that you first claim that only liberals and corporations care about this, and that it has everything to do with American politics, and then you mock someone who isn't American, claiming their opinion doesn't matter.

I don't agree. Twitter moved from being politically neutral and moderating actual bad behavior on its platform. To increasingly playing clear favorites about who to punish and who's views to quash or promote as truth.
Fair play, you might be correct!
So those non-Americans with opinions don't care about it? Because if your premise is that their opinions don't matter, you've already conceded that non-Americans have opinions about it. Which they obviously do, since this thread is filled with international supporters of an English football club, on an Irish-ran website.Only liberals and corporations care about it because of the midterms (corporations are not so much politically motivated but they know liberal consumers will be more motivated for boycotts etc if they don't make an early move).

I do feel I'll end up taking over the thread so perhaps I will leave it at that lads
I think you are nitpicking my communist friend (commie? social democrat?)So those non-Americans with opinions don't care about it?

I might be nitpicking, but nits are there to be picked. Or something.
According to @Eboue I am socdem scum, but I like to think I'm a socialist. As I'm neither an American nor a liberal, I don't particularly care for the Democrats either. But I'm not blind to the fact that right-wing internet radicalization is a real thing, and that this isn't going to help.I think you are nitpicking my communist friend (commie? social democrat?)
I am surprised Eboue would describe you as such and then call you scum, considering he seems to only espouse socdem talking points and anti centrist liberal talking points.According to @Eboue I am socdem scum, but I like to think I'm a socialist.

I think you're conflating terms if you think Eboue uses liberal talking points. But we're definitely taking over the thread now, and I'm off to bed!I am surprised Eboue would describe you as such and then call you scum, considering he seems to only espouse socdem talking points and anti centrist liberal talking points.
Oh I don't think he'd consider himself a liberal at all, he's a left-liberal or socdem who very often hate being termed liberals but end up voting for them every single time anywayI think you're conflating terms if you think Eboue uses liberal talking points.

No.He seems a dipshit but most of the blowback on this is the democrats fear it will negatively impact them for midterms
he has aspergers and was very socially awkward as a kid getting beat up all the time.So what exactly is wrong with Elon Musk? He seems a bit weird
Drinking his own piss could probably explain his behaviour.So what exactly is wrong with Elon Musk? He seems a bit weird
No he doesn't.he has aspergers and was very socially awkward as a kid getting beat up all the time.
The algorithmic amplification is bias for reality and actual viewer interest. Same with youtube. There is no conspiracy in these orgs to push right wing agenda. More viewers are drawn to these topics in terms of engagement metrics such as views, comments, likes etc. and that further adds as incentive for algorithm to push it further in people's feeds. If anything these companies have now altered these algorithms to be biased against videos with certain keywords or tags.
Sounds likely. Rage and hate do seem like the most powerful political motivators. Also seems like they've got extremely shite algorithms though. I do not watch any alt-right youtubes (or any political youtube at all really). Every time one pops up I nuke it with a not interested. Nevertheless, after several years of doing this I am still offered Ben fecking Shapiro or some other Yank desperate to introduce me to the culture war. Left leaning equivalents never seem to rock up. You'd think even a basic algorithm would get the message at some stage after being consistently told "Yo, don't send me this crap I don't want it".The algorithmic amplification is bias for reality and actual viewer interest.

@Sweet Square can you confirm this?
He does according to himself.No he doesn't.
Tell that to the hundreds of people in Dublin getting laid off by Twitter this week.If you think opinions outside America matter on things like this I've a bridge to sell you. They're a battlefield for domestic US politics
You must be happy a lot.Explain how please my liberal friend. I am happy to be wrong
Least surprising news ever.he has aspergers and was very socially awkward as a kid getting beat up all the time.
That's an immediate material effect, and is a subject in the news anyway, but there are less reactionary agencies that have been concerned with media control pretty much forever.He seems a dipshit but most of the blowback on this is the democrats fear it will negatively impact them for midterms
And that fact he announced it on Saturday Night Live is also no shock.Least surprising news ever.
I believe him though. It was mainly a glib comment about him being such an annoying tit I can understand why other kids wanted to beat him up. But on a more serious note it stands to reason that a poster boy of the alt right is a product of that sort of childhood. They always come across as damaged individuals.And that fact he announced it on Saturday Night Live is also no shock.
Oh I absolutely believe him. That tech generation are very interesting. They are an older capitalist / american myth incarnate. They are the only large wave of self made millionaires and it's has exploded their egos. That sort of money in that vast swathe traditionally was based on inheritance. Power of the individual proved, bootstrap capitalism at work. The fact that they are so numerous and and are concentrated at the interface of so much of our information is basically a perfect storm.I believe him though.

That was Bill Gates. So, no, Musk does not have it unless it's acknowledged and signed by a mental health specialist.he has aspergers and was very socially awkward as a kid getting beat up all the time.
And yet still, there was Twitter to run: systems to maintain, code to write, projects to sync up on. And so workers began to create Google Docs listing who they could confirm was still employed at the company. They messaged colleagues on Slack to see who would message back. If the person responded, they got added to the doc.
“We’re basically messaging all our coworkers trying to figure out who’s left, like after a disaster,” one employee told us.
The confusion has made the company vulnerable should systems begin to break down or suffer an attack, employees said.
“It’s extremely unclear who still works here,” another worker told us. “Lots of ‘everybody left raise their hands’ in project channels.”
Be interesting to see if hackers attempted to get in and see what they could do
