Seriously though, Elon Musk has just made more enemies now. Prepare yourselves with assholes from the USA and around the world trying to pass new legislation to regulate social media to only applying regulation to Twitter.

Already happening in Canada. Hate speech is basically a notch about disdain of something.

 

[OmegaSupreme]

You were talking about your virtue signalling. But yes, we should move on back to Elon.

Calling a legitimately racist person a racist is virtue signaling now? At least I can provide receipts for my claims. Still waiting on those hate speech tweets from Elon by the way.

IT’S OFFICIAL.

C'mon you can do better than that. If you wanna troll then go big.


That's C-tier bait at best. I don't get worked up these days for anything less than A-tier bait. Just ask DeepEnigma

I'm not trying to catch a ban by going too hard lol.

But I know you're a good sport, it's why I mess with you from time to time.

Exactly. Or at least have the decency to call me a libtard or a left wing cuck.


I have standards.

lol, signed into my twitter account I haven't used since 2013 to find out I am already following Elon

what a wild timeline this is

 

[M1chl]

Problem with this, that for once, there is no normal reaction to it, one group find it terrifying, example of the fascist take over their beloved site and the other side is "oh yaas daddy Elon". CRINGE

Eh... my reaction is "meh."

Which I think is pretty normal and likely what anyone outside of the "i spend too much time online" sphere thinks.

 

[Shizumapower]

Interesting times, indeed.

Oh YAAAS, daddy Elon!

It is either you know too much to pick a side, or you don't know anything at all and barely care. Welcome to politics, and not actually thinking about the product itself.

Anyone who has a problem with this should just make his own twitter. That's what I've been told by liberals all these years anyway.

Regionalization does go against the globalist model. An outcome desired by some.

My country has been working on regional legislation for years. It's difficult. This buyout may help clarify and move things along, but the legislation would have to apply to all companies to withstand challenges.

 

[SJRB]

Fucking insane. Amazing turn of events.

You either believe in freedom of speech or you don't. Hence the polarized effect.

Everytime I read about these morons, I can't believe they really exist. But they write even stupider things that I could think of.

And then there are the other 99% of people on both sides of the political spectrum who actually don't give a shit which billionaire owns it.

 

[Vicetrailia]

Fucking insane. Amazing turn of events.

It is pretty insane to sit back and think that a billionaire can just like, buy the biggest social media platform in the world because they want to just whenever, and take it private. It's crazy.

He's one of the subjects I typically try and avoid talking about online because the opinions about him are so wildly polarised. To some he's humanity's greatest hope and to others he's worse than Hitler.

I am curious to see what happens with this. The idea of a big social network like this going private is pretty interesting. But I'm guessing there won't really be a radical change.

[M1chl]

Alright I forgot to specify, that I meant how people are writing about it on Twitter, because I am there for a war. Not here. I enter here, just to complain, you know

Free speech™

What an epic day!

But we were told it was a "private company" before all of this hoopla when they were by proxy, banning accounts.

…it already was private? Publicly traded doesn’t mean it’s not a private company.

That's totally different lol, why would you bring that up?

Private as in not owned by the government broseph.

It's not.
By the same token, you dont have any problem neither you say something about the rest of mass media and social media having mega rich owners....

You're opening a can of worms here, lets stick to the topic. I don't want to get into all of that stuff that's

That's totally different. If Bezos is like, "You know what, I wanna fuck with FB because I don't think they're connecting families enough. But it's not about the money, it's about the future of families" , and then he goes and acquires it that would be CRRRRAAAAAZYYYYYY. This is that crazy.

It could be bought because it was mismanaged, and priced at a relative discount compared to where it should be. It's the biggest SM platform but sure hasn't been run like one.

Era in shambles

 

[Nobody_Important]

Looks like it's all but final. Now we just wait and see just how bad he allows things to get and how advertisers and businesses react.

 

[RoboFu]

I bet there will be a "Reesetera Twitter" made asap in aftermath of this.

They could but how many twidiots will want to lose their sub counts and sponsors?

 

[Draugoth]

This will be interesting
