Ed Markey: ‘Algorithmic Justice’ Demands Elon Musk Twitter Bid Is Stopped

Sen. Ed Markey (D-MA) condemned Elon Musk’s $44 billion bid for Twitter on Tuesday night, citing the obscure cause of “algorithmic justice” as the basis for his objection.

Markey outlined his argument on – ironically enough – Twitter itself.


He said Musk and his cohort of billionaires cannot be trusted with such influence and we must “promote algorithmic justice for internet users, especially for kids.”

There should be a law against it, he argued.

“Elon Musk and a handful of billionaires now have dangerous influence over the most powerful online platforms. They can’t be trusted, and self-regulation has failed. We must pass laws to protect privacy and promote algorithmic justice for internet users, especially for kids.

Funny how the billionaires who used to own Twatter weren’t an issue.

Algorithmic justice? The frick?

Are Republicans in Massachusetts calling for district and senate justice based off a lack of representation?

Where is the injustice of pledging to make the algorithm public?

So he’s basically confessing the democrats have been in on it all along. Thanks Ed.

Massholes have a leg up here due to experience and seniority.

I wonder what upstanding Democrat will cry about Musk tomorrow. This shitshow of emotional overreactions is more hilarious than I could have imagined.

Absolutely hilarious this never came up in the multiple committees the heads of these social media sites were called to. I seem to recall some really softball stuff coming from the Dems.

or the other billionaires that own: wapo, NYT, Facebook, or google.

But once you realize they are ok with billionaires, as long as they are ideologically aligned with them.

My favorite thing thus far was Project Veritas leaking the call to tell employees their was a new sheriff in town.

One of the employees actually asked, "Who will keep Elon Musk in check?"

These places overrun with creampuff pussy liberals have ZERO concept of how a business functions or operates. You listen to the melt and you get a glimpse into just what douchebags actually believe Biden is a good president AND have breakdowns when called the wrong pronoun.

These idiots thrive in union membership, government, or crony capitalism.

With a very successful boss who gets results? They better start printing resumes.

You can try, if you don’t care about getting banned before the turnover in ownership.

I quit quite a while back and don’t plan on re-enabling my account until the new ownership is in place.
