Twitter adopts 'poison pill' to prevent Elon Musk takeover

I objected to the silencing of people then, and I still do, in the instance of "doxxing" yeah we can shut that down no matter where it is happening.

It would be wrong for Musk to silence them for saying something negative about him, and i would be in full opposition to that. But putting his location out there, yeah, i know very well why someone would do that.  The only thing missing is the liberal maneuver to also encourage their shock troops to get after him in public...

But you’re OK with Musk specifically saying he wasn’t going to ban a specific account, but then doing it anyway (and not changing the policy until afterwards).  Got it.

So wait... wait... WAAAAIIITTTTTTT!!!!!  Liberals are upset because they're getting banned/suspended from Twitter because they don't like the censoring?

 

G.T.F.O.!!!!

Do you like the censoring?

I never liked it.  I'm just calling out liberals on their hypocrisy.  You're calling out Musk for being a hypocrite when all he did was change his mind.  If that's all it takes, I guess you think Biden is a hypocrite too.

[Hardcore troubadour 15,436]

I didn’t like when conservatives were being censored, but because I think revenge should be a sacrament, I’m good with liberals eating shite now. Would like to see more of it.

Strike gave a very plausible scenario, I agreed, then later he pasted it again for you.  It appears that you do not like that answer, although I'm not sure you've responded to it.  You seem to just keep repeating the above over and over.  I expect you'll do the same this time.

It’s “plausible,” but it’s not “even-handed” nor does it mean that he’s not a hypocrite.

[Hardcore troubadour 15,436]

Remember when the libtards were adamant that the FBI wasn’t involved in the censorship? How stupid can grown men be?

He’s been in just about EVERY thread doing that. I swear he must spend all day on here arguing with strangers on the internet. Which is pathetic cause ain’t no one working and able to spend all day on here doing that. 
 

Can we get a post count for him in this thread? I’d love to know just to see how many he’s got in a few of these threads

 Loving the shots at other posters in here.  Nothing reeks of a full life with a lot of friends like posting on a Friday night and wondering about a stranger on the internet's post count in a thread.      You are right there with us.

You know what?  I walked into that one.  For some reason I thought it was 9 here when I posted that.   

Nah, you just bag on the lazy lack of work ethic libs while posting during your meetings.   

[TimHauck 2,876]

To summarize latest twitter files:

-FBI has no sense of humor, even when it comes to flagging pro-Dem accounts

-FBI didn’t force twitter to do anything, the language in most of the emails said things like “may potentially constitute policy violations” and “any action deemed appropriate within Twitter policy”

-A bunch of these emails are from when Musk owned twitter, so if there’s a big crime here (I’d say no), Musk would be implicated

-At least we’re getting some actual tweets here and not just Hunter Biden’s junk.  But I got bored around tweet 30, were there any examples where Twitter took action when they shouldn’t have?

I bet he will do it actually 

So he unsuspended the journalists (except Olbermann I assume due to the ban evasion), but not elonjet or Jack Sweeney.

Good on him for letting the people decide, but I do think it’s hypocritical that elonjet and Sweeney are still suspended.  At minimum some of the journalists clearly broke the rules when they posted the link to other elonjet pages after the policy was changed.  But elonjet and Sweeney were never given a chance to get in compliance with the new policy.

[Shooter McGavin 618]

Musk is unhinged, like a petulant child.  To his credit he did the right thing with the journalists

[TimHauck 2,876]

Honestly some of these journalists (most of which I had never heard of) seem pretty stupid.  Several of them keep talking about their “last tweet before they were suspended,” but they weren’t necessarily suspended for their “last tweet.”  But I do think it’s likely some of them got banned for posting a link to a news article, and not a link to the elonjet account.

You're in here 24/7 posting about him because your DNC Plantation masters told you to.  GTFO you hypocritical POS.

They suspended not just a couple journalists but the entire NY Post over the correct Hunter Biden story.  Not to mention thousands of other people over nothing but politics. 

Musk suspends, for one day, a handful and it’s a National Crisis.

These people are insane and have very little self awareness.

Reading the responses here, it’s clear that “free speech” is not what it was ever about. As usual, it’s right-wing snowflakes whining that Twitter supposedly persecuted them. And now they’ve got a right-wing billionaire with a fragile ego running the company. He’s changing rules and banning people retroactively, and blocking constitutionally protected speech. Yet you’re cheering this attack on free speech because it’s apparently some kind of revenge on liberals?

Truly sad and pathetic.

I’ll keep watching this thread. I predict when Twitter goes bankrupt, you will blame wokeness or cancel culture, not Musk for running the company into the ground in record time.

Lol bro just stop. You keep accusing the right of doing EXACTLY what the left has done for years and NOW it’s a problem? Like bro you need reevaluate yourself. Cause the problem is you leftists. The call is coming from inside the house my dude

This proves my point. It’s not about free speech. It’s about revenge for perceived slights.

Everything we thought was happening actually happened, presented for all to see.

Liberals, predictably, make excuses while exposing their own blatant hypocrisy. Begs the question, too stupid to realize it or simply don't care? Is protecting the liberal way simply too important? Self-respect be damned? Who knows, fascinating... Do these people actually exist in every day life? Do you ever run into people that think this way?

Thankfully, I do not...

Congrats fellas, y'all never disappoint.

Is that really your takeaway from the “Twitter files” silliness? You just watched a small handful of journalists flush away what little credibility they had to “expose” a small selection of emails and screenshots chosen by and given to them by Musk. Nothing new presented, no “smoking gun” that even comes close to the allegations of some conspiracy against conservatives.

One thing I learned from reading the Twitter files and then observing the responses: when people want to see something, they very easily confuse spin with facts. Something for all of us to consider.

Wait a minute, are you suggesting that such a behavior is somehow wrong? I mean, wrong today....but not before?
