Twitter adopts 'poison pill' to prevent Elon Musk takeover

I've said before the etymology of the word predates Russia. The definitions basically say "most recent examples..." It isn't saying it is just Russia nor has any one argued that

You are literally arguing things no one has said. Get your head examined. 

The most recent examples exist right hear in the United States. Again I ask you, how can their be oligarchs in an authoritarian dictatorship? Are you saying Putin seeks their counsel? What the hell can they possibly do for Putin? Oligarchs exist because they are able to corrupt the government, either legally or illegally. Putin is the law. He can’t be corrupted. He has total control. Putin: Nice yacht you got there, Boris.  It’s mine now. Boris: Yes boss.

Anyone create a thread about Oligarchs so we don't have to waste our lives reading this drivel in a thread about Twitter.  Thanks

You don’t know what’s going on, idiot. It turns out conservatives are gaining all sorts of followers all of a sudden. Seems the libs of Twitter were suppressing the numbers. Now say you’re sorry.

Or conservatives are joining (and libs deleting) because they’re all dumb and think Elon is already in charge

Nope. The numbers are shooting way up, out of whack wit other upticks. Your feeling is wrong, again.

Focking idiot.  Musk doesn't own the company yet.

As evidence from this thread libs are leaving, righties are joining

Occam's Razor almost certainly applies here. It is pretty clear that conservatives are flocking back thinking the chains are off and liberals are leaving thinking it will be a bigger wasteland because the chains are off.

But I guess it is more fun to try and make everything a conspiracy theory so it fits whatever dumb narrative you want to propagate.

Having been through this, there are lots of emotions that come with the purchase of your company, especially in a politically charged environment.  Just having empathy for the execs here, they have built a successful organization, following their ideals, brought it public, and can run the org as they see fit.  Now they lose their public status and any future equity, and the focus of the company is in doubt.  Who knows what Musk is going to do, who is going to be fired, how will things change.  It's a very uncertain time and the employees of twitter rightfully have anxiety and fear.

But I understand it's more fun to make this political and attack liberals, so have at it.

You are utterly and uselessly blind to the fact liberals have done this to every company they own.

Explain how do you corrupt him? If he wants your shite he just takes it. Who you gonna call? Ghostbusters? You gonna sue him? How do you think he got so rich?  You’re thick as a brick.

At least you quoted the movie correctly this time. So you got slightly smarter on pop culture but had to sacrifice like 100 IQ points on everything else. Not sure it was worth the tradeoff.

If you’re living in someone else’s head like you claim, that means I’m living there too. Who  is it again?

So this is the list of poeple that means that conservatism is dead on twitter? :lol:

What a bunch of cry babies.

Conservatism is far from dead.  They banned literally hundreds of thousands of people for just following these people or re-tweeting true stories.  The point is not to cry about it, but to point out what sissies you gals are for not allowing certain topics or posters to be discussed.  Nothing but a bunch of lying cowards.

Enlighten us then.   Your claim is Twitter was "suppressing" people's follower #'s?  For what reason?  If that was the case, people like Tucker and Shapiro wouldn't have millions, etc.

so they are removing all the algorithms that limit followers, and content.

Pool for example his twitter feed now recommends skateboarding and hes never gotten a recommendation for that, despite being a huge skateboarding guy

suppressing peoples follower numbers makes people think that they aren't relevant

there is no explanation other than shadow blocking/banning why someone who has been on twitter for years would get 85,000 followers in one day, while someone on the gets like 1000

so if you look at monday and tuesday, the numbers would have inflated then knowing the purchase was finalized, yet why did the numbers only show up on weds, and all these people searched out random people?

Donald Trump Jr. has almost 8 million followers.  But for some reason the GC thinks twitter wanted to "suppress" 1% of them.  Too funny

So to be clear, the claim is not that the big accounts were being "shadowbanned" and content hidden or whatever, it's just that they had followers who got banned and now got unbanned?

There were a lot of increases on Tuesday

MTG increased by 40k - https://socialblade.com/twitter/user/repmtg

Timcast increased by 20k - https://socialblade.com/twitter/user/timcast

DJT Jr. increased by 87k - https://socialblade.com/twitter/user/donaldjtrumpjr

Oh look, it’s moderate guy that voted for Trump playing it straight down the middle again. Thank god for these reasonable, fair minded people.  Otherwise it would just be partisan bickering.

There's nothing you could say to these idiots that would convince them. 

The evidence is so obvious that I can't even believe the conversations need to be had. There's a percentage of the population that there is simply no hope for.

Twitter is all about visibility, all of the sudden more eyes are seeing certain content that they weren't seeing before. Most people probably don't know you have to adjust your settings to actually get tweets in chronological order. Without that change, you are seeing what they want you to see, only. They were\are also constantly screwing with this option.

None of this matters though, these idiots will believe whatever they want.

I am with you on this one. Some people aren't really thinking this through. I don't have the answer, but those who think they do I don't agree with.

It is remarkable. 

The level of comfort on display from the left to suppress free speech is startling. Only THEIR message is safe, allowable.Only THEIR thoughts, beliefs and speech is allowable. 

Now, here is a guy who's only move is to allow more speech, and they are erupting as if the world could end.  JUST FROM THE ALLOWANCE OF OTHER POINTS OF VIEW.

What has happened to these people?
