Re: Twitter Poll: should they reinstate TRUMP's account? Date: November 19, 2022 01:32PM |
So for Musk freedom of expression on Twitter not a question of whether or not Trump posted terribly irresponsible and sometimes dangerous things on his Twitter account, but rather if he gets a majority of the votes on an on-line forum.

No, they should not.
Twitter has a lot of value to some, likely a lot of people.
I think it should service for pet videos and public shaming of companies, especially those who steer consumers to their FB page instead of a website.
I am that Masked Man.
All you can do, is all you can do.
There’s trouble — it's time to play the sound of my people.
Your boos mean nothing to me, I've seen what you cheer for.
Insisting on your rights without acknowledging your responsibilities isn’t freedom, it’s adolescence.
I've been to the edge of the map, and there be monsters.
We are a government of laws, not men.
Everybody counts or nobody counts.
When a good man is hurt,
all who would be called good
must suffer with him.
You and I have memories longer than the road that stretches out ahead.
There is no safety for honest men except
by believing all possible evil of evil men.
We don’t do focus groups. They just ensure that you don’t offend anyone, and produce bland inoffensive products. —Sir Jonathan Ive
An armed society is a polite society.
And hope is a lousy defense.
You make me pull, I'll put you down.
I *love* SIGs. It's Glocks I hate.

A link to the poll.
The results as of the moment. +13 million ‘votes’ received.
National Suicide Prevention Lifeline
As of July 16, 2022, the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline is now available by simply dialing 988. The previous number, 1-800-273-8255, will remain active.
I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

Heh.
They’re projecting new nicknames for Lemon Usk on the exterior of the Twitter headquarters building in SF, including “worthless billionaire,” “bankruptcy baby,” “petulant pimple” and “mediocre manchild.”
The current favorite, though, appears to be “space Karen”.

Elon Musk said on Twitter that he would reinstate Donald Trump to the platform.
Two things: Musk said he was doing it in response to his online twitter poll.
Also, it has been reported that Trump “reacted coolly” to the action.

BREAKING NEWS
Elon Musk said on Twitter that he would reinstate Donald Trump to the platform. Mr. Trump had been banned after the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol.
Like we need more of a reason to avoid/ignore Twitter?
Phuhqu'em both.

I don’t know about libs of tt, but he claims he’s going to (demoitize?) demote or otherwise make it impossible to see this sort of stuff (unless you go looking for it). Don’t know if that’ll work, but even if it does, then that’s effectively cancelling them….and isn’t that what he said he wouldn’t do? Which begs the question, why did he do all this to begin with (I know rhetorical question)? He knows he’s made a mistake, but was forced to go through with it anyway. Guess he realizes the best thing he can do is give the appearance he’s ‘fixed’ it and wash his hands of it.
He’s getting pushback, of course, so we’ll see. I’m not sure how they’ll deal with tweets that are screencapped, handed off to other non-flagged accounts to be retweeted, etc. as a means to skirt being “deboosted”.
Here’s the tweet referred to, for those who haven’t seen it.
