but Elon is also correct in his description that Twitter and social media like it function as a modern day town square.


The difference, of course, being that the town square is owned by the town.

I always thought the proper fight here is "this is terrible business sense", not "let's act like the corporation is a government entity".

Meh. Don’t even care if the fired big wigs got a bag out of it

Towns don’t exist without government in some capacity. There’s no mechanism for ownership under our system without it.

It’s both. The corporation was behaving as a government entity by taking direction literally from fed.gov. That’s part of the problem.

I dont feel sorry for any of them that banned people and allowed some witch hunts of other people which caused them to lose their jobs or be doxxed. What goes around comes around.

That was my point. For all the “gotcha” posts in here pointing out how rich a few people are, there’s hundreds more with their pronouns in their bio that nobody gives a frick about

Makes me feel warm inside

I'd be surprised if any employee made 40k.

He's not firing everyone. I'm sure the guy who makes 125k stocking the snacks is safe for a while.

It’s fascism when the government is using corporations to suppress expression of ideas.

Elderly hag Taylor Lorenz’s reaction to this:

It’s like the gates of hell opened on this site tonight

What, did you have your period tonight, you fricking lizard person?

Maybe the administrative assistant department, however there’s not many Twitter employees making $40K/yr

Pretty sure that's because they all would have been party to a shareholder law suit if they didn't.

All I know is that my trending section for the first time in a while is without some form of a political context and I am seeing tweets from accounts in my timeline from people that weren't and were tweeting been banned but I haven't seen in months

Twitter is awesome right now.

Admittedly haven't used it much and only re-signed up when Elon said he was buying.

But I've never seen it like this. The tweets on my feed are hilarious. The people that are finally abke to post what they think are loving it.

This disgraced Dolores Umbridge scumbag has removed being affiliated with Twitter. And I hope Vijaya dies in an Azkaban like setting like Umbridge did.

Alright this opening up of Twitter has taken an ugly turn for the worst. Some sick demented SOBs are apparently sending Taylor Lorenz sex requests via her DMs. Anyone who sends her requests like this doesn’t deserve a Twitter account because they have no taste or judgment in women.

Taylor Lorenz reporting rape threats.

I’m getting more rape threats in the DMs than normal, but can’t log off and miss the chaos!“
