At the rate Musk is burning Twitter to the ground, it will be owned by pocolts son before long.

No one complained about what Tweets their algorithm was doing whatever with.  The complaints were about the manual moderation that always resulted in the censoring of conservative views and/or news, such as the Hunter Biden laptop story in the middle of a presidential election.  If Twitter deletes all tweets related to a story, how is their algorithm going to "amplify" that story?  Hint:  It's not.

As an example of the above, a few years ago Kathy Griffin posted a picture of herself holding a decapitated Donald Trump head.  Was she punished for doing so?  No.  Fast forward to today.  She impersonated Elon Musk on Twitter, a clear violation of their TOS, and got her account suspended.  That's all us non lefties have been asking for.  Either enforce your TOS or don't, but whatever you do do it consistently.

I would prefer the act of cancellation not continue, that is one thing I hope Musk reconsiders.

I think Kathy Griffin is a vile human and speaks hateful rhetoric.

But I am assiduously opposed to silencing her.

She broke the Twitter TOS.  The clause about impersonation has always been in it.  They've just not enforced it, or at least not enforced it consistently.  I'm fine with them having a TOS to keep things sane and civil, and enforcing that.  I'm not ok with how they've enforced it against one set of viewpoints in the past.  If they start only enforcing it against libs you'll see me complain about that too.  But there's nothing wrong with having standards and enforcing them.

Fair enough.

And I agree, if it’s done it needs to be equal, no more confining enforcement only to conservative members

I have no issue with Griffin being suspended, but I have a feeling people impersonating Elon are suspended more often than people impersonating probably anyone else…

You guys are too funny.  When I prove you wrong in the Covid thread it’s sarcastic comments about “I bet you have a tweet and a graph about that?”… Now it’s criticism because I don’t work for twitter and have their data about who gets suspended.

However, Musk himself has commented about the frequency of people impersonating him, so he seems to have an issue with it.

 

Now kindly fock off

leftist says this is how it happened, ok

more thank likely Musk had some employees who are giving the opportunity to return to work on new terms

my old casino did that when they brought in new management, all the upper management was fired and brought back the next day if interested at a lower pay scale

It's actually a fairly common practice in situations like this as well as other situations. HR needs to terminate the employee from the role, and then create a new role and rehire if that is what the company and the candidate agree upon. It can even happen for people who are simply offered another role in the company that is higher paying position that has yet to be created in the system. Terminate and hire back.

How does this help defend your assertion that Musk impersonators get suspended more often than people impersonating almost anyone else?

Eh, maybe.  My old company did layoffs earlier this year.  They ended up hiring several people back but hadn’t planned to, they only did it because a bunch of the people they didn’t lay off left on their own shortly after (which may be what’s happening with twitter).

I'm fortunate to have not experienced this directly.  I've been in two companies which were acquired, and in each case the acquiring company bent over backwards to welcome us.

Although, in both cases what we offered was unique and of significant value to the acquiring company.  More typical in that industry was for sales people like myself to hook on with the mainstream sales group, or find themselves out of a job.

Meta about to join the party. Smart to do it now and get some cover with what's going on at Twitter. These layoffs were imminent regardless of who was running the show.

Zuckerberg has not been able to compensate for the declining popularity of FB. He has been acquiring companies to keep things rolling, but that’s not a long-term strategy. Then he decides the “future” is everybody strapping VR screens to our faces? He lost his mojo years ago, and the company has been a dead man walking for a while.

If a Billionaire a@@hole wants the Republicans to win, all the more reason to do the opposite. He’s suggesting what’s good for him, which will never be what’s good for non-billionaires.

He’s listed as an independent and has historically voted Democrat.  This is but one more example how far left and low your party has gone.

Right. Twitter is a platform. He said the platform had to allow both sides to be heard. He’s stating his side. Others on Twitter are stating another side. The fact you don’t see the difference is telling.

TBF- his larger message was that having one party in sole power is bad so he was encouraging voting for Republicans to balance out the Democratic president.

That is sort of just rooting for political gridlock I suppose- but his quote is longer than what is tweeted there.
