Agreed. I've suggested it before, but I think they should just verify all the acting agencies, publishers, record labels, etc as organizations, and then just verify everyone though those organizations. That way you can keep things to "real" celebrities, as opposed to people who were favored by those who used to be in charge of handing out blue checkmarks.
Sheesh..
I mean the guy wants to make Twitter profitable without relying so heavily on advertising income. This is an attempt to do that. I don't disagree with promoting paying users over non-paying. But I also don't think it's going to be enough to convince free users to pay. I don't care about Twitter polls. Musk doesn't need that to achieve any arching objective. He's just throwing ideas at the wall to see what sticks. I suspect more features will get paywalled for this reason.SoBragr as this websites Elon fan, what's the meaning behind this latest chess move that most of us are not getting?
Ever since Musk took over I've seen a massive increase in "Promoted Posts" and advertisements, Promoted Posts never used to appear in replies, now you're lucky if you DON'T see an ad somewhere in the replies of larger posts, this isn't about moving away from Ad revenue, it's about squeezing as much out of the platform as possible, now features are being paywalled AND the ads will continue, what happened to the "Free Speech" Elon spoke about?
Well that's one way to speed up the process of failing.
The subjective qualifier "elite" is not a justification to ignore a substantial amount of research, or to pretend it doesn't exist or doesn't apply. If what you said is true, where is the NPR article (and accompanying tweet) talking about how research now suggests that trans athletes have scientifically proven advantages at all levels of competition other than the "elite" level, whatever that happens to mean?
It's not irrelevant, they're pretending it's irrelevant. All the trans athlete research in the world doesn't count in this case because the subjects weren't "elite" enough, seems to be the claim here. And even under the protection of that particular claim, they couldn't bring themselves to write the words "trans athletes have a physical advantage in many situations," if that is their claim. Instead we get a clinical and blatantly obvious sentence with all aspects of association with trans people removed from it. "Existing research shows that higher levels of testosterone do impact athletic performance."
Guy is a hero for the Twitter Files imo. Government should never pressure companies to take away people’s right to speak.
And now a letter agency (IRS) is being weaponized towards the guy that was in charge of organizing and releasing them by showing up to his home. Must be pure a coinkydink tho, totes!
Some of the fascists here won’t even care. There just happy to see the government go after their political enemies
"Facsists", huh? You have a pattern of using the most negative terminology to label the group of people who fall under the category of "people I disagree with". Do you really think this is accurate? Do you think this helps to convince people that you are the reasonable one when you use such hyperbolic terms unironically?
You seem to hate everyone here. Why do you even have an account man?
How did he fumble? Explain.
What’s a sensitive word that’s inclusive that makes you feel comfortable?
I'm comfortable with most forms of speech. I'm just trying to give you some advice about communication and accurate vocabulary.
