Private companies have different rules than public companies. I'm curious to see where the company is registered.
Blocking those who argue to argue, eliminates the argument.

So much for the "free speech" part of Musk's claim....... Comedian Kathy Griffin suspended from Twitter after mocking CEO Elon Musk https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-new...V6ms6G9drKSWGlL8dI9PbYLM-W7WRmthdkVcqjRY

YES. Suspending people for impersonating others, something that has always been against Twitter policy, is silencing free speech. lmao. It will be fun watching the Elon haters and their daily meltdowns.

Oh I don't really care about Musk. Hell I'm not even on Twitter. It looks more like you are the one having an actual meltdown at this point. But since you are the one who brought up that it's "always been a Twitter policy". Before this people were first warned about such impersonations before it went to the point of being suspended. But not anymore.... So on the surface you are correct that the rule wasn't changed, the automatic suspension punishment has changed.

I'm not sure where the confusion lies with it. It seems as though he considers it fine to not be banned for spreading lies and misinformation. Personal attacks on people and politicians because it's a matter of free speech. But the minute you poke fun at him it's an immediate ban. It seems more as though he picks and chooses which free speech is allowed. It also make him look like a total snowflake.

Cool. You're probably a much deeper thinker than I am. I'm easily confused. It's hard for me to connect all the dots from banning impersonation to restricting free speech.

If the decision to automatically ban people for impersonating others hadn't happened at the exact same time as when they started to impersonating him, I could see your point. But it did which makes it obvious. You have no need to be a deep thinker to see that.

Just to keep things factual, because it's this kind of stuff that spreads the most misinformation, @dBenShapiro is a known fake account. And I am not saying your doing it intentionally OCD, just pointing out that the post is not real.

Another fake or parody account posing as a real person with Elon's paid-for verification checkmark that is no longer an actual verification.

I'm good with that IF we also eliminate all non-nation-wide news sites, blogs, and 4chan-ish sources.

My main issue with twitter is it is usually commentary not news that gets posted. If people stuck the news type twits, it wouldn't be so bad. But, IMO, twits of someone responding or reposting someone else's twitter post, add nothing to a discussion other than to garner an emotional reaction, and usually a negative one at that. And an honest question, since I don't use twitter I don't truly know. What is a "verified" account? Is it a reporter, a celebrity, or can it be anyone and it is just verified that it is who they claim they are?

I’m not sure what the threshold is, but verified accounts typically have some sort of process and relate to celebrities, government officials or notable reporters and journalists.

Elon Musk tells Twitter employees ‘bankruptcy is not out of the question’ Two weeks after taking over Twitter, Elon Musk has finally addressed the company’s remaining staff and the message was bleak. Speaking at an all-hands meeting, Musk said that Twitter is losing so much money that “bankruptcy is not out of the question,” The Information and Platformer reported. Twitter hasn’t turned a profit since 2019, and ad revenue has declined significantly since Musk’s takeover as advertisers pull back from the platform. At the all-hands, Musk said Twitter could have "net negative cash flow of several billion dollars” in 2023, according to The Information. He also suggested that Twitter’s future depends upon the success of the revamped Twitter Blue subscription service. “The reason we’re going hardcore on subscribers is to keep Twitter alive,” he said. Musk also told employees, again, that they are expected to work from Twitter’s office, a reversal of the company’s previous “work from anywhere” policy. “If you can physically make it to an office and you don’t show up, resignation accepted," he said, Platformer’s Zoe Schiffer, reported. Twitter is also rapidly losing the top executives that survived Musk’s layoffs. The company’s chief information security officer, chief privacy officer and chief compliance officer all recently resigned, exposing the company to potential new FTC fines. And two other high-profile executives, head of trust and Safety Yoel Roth and VP of client solutions Robin Wheeler, also resigned on Thursday, Bloomberg reported. The two had joined Musk in a town hall meant to reassure Twitter’s advertisers just one day before. Meanwhile, the roll out of the new Blue subscription has been rocky. After introducing — and quickly killing — a separate “official” checkmark, there’s been a surge in scammers and pranksters impersonating politicians, celebrities and brands. Musk reportedly told employees that rooting out scammers abusing the checkmark was a “top priority.” We've reached out to Twitter for comment. https://news.yahoo.com/elon-musk-twitter-bankruptcy-215850492.html

52% For 48% Against
Close to 15MM voters. Never once voted for Trump or like his rhetoric but it's sad so many are against free speech on twitter yet was seemingly ok with heads of dictatorships of other countries speaking freely on that platform. Oh, the irony.
