Yeah like imagine if Twitter had been banned in the US and how their election might have turned out. Things might have turned out worse like getting a dictator who is wanting to reignite land grabs of neighboring countries.
Not banning Twitter and attempts to educate from the liberals really worked out.
Education hasn’t worked seeing how fascism has successfully taken hold through american social media, and no transparency over algorithms. And the people in charge pushing for fascism owning the sites and tuning the algorithm to their liking to promote and suppress information they want the masses to hook on to.
And it’s not like only dumb uneducated people who have been lured into it. Those with educated backgrounds are just as easily influenced. That there are antivax nurses tells you everything there is to know about how effective education is.
Can you imagine people on /r/fednews, expressing what is going on if their true identities were known under the government that is in place right now? Trusted authorities can become the enemy in an instant as the US has shown to the world. All of a sudden what was considered safe expressions become thought crimes.
Hell imagine if that was how Twitter operated before the Musk purchase, and then all of a sudden him having access to that information as the trusted authority. Your concept of trusted authority relies on the trusted authority actually remaining something you believe can’t be bought out or compromised.
Not to mention how often data breeches happen so trusted authority becomes everyone’s information.
Is he another Russian asset getting ready to sell out his country?
I think point is to put on record for the history books who the turncoats are that supported this fascist takeover.
If you have to use Twitter I recommend using squawker if you have android. Unfollow everyone from Twitter just use squawker to subscribe to accounts which provides a subscription feed that is local without adding the account followers.
Not a good idea to use the official Twitter app anyways with all the data collecting it can do and adding to follower counts adds added pressure to keep a presence there. Just turn into a ghost when it comes to Twitter usage.
That nice in theory but hasn’t worked in practice.
America is the best example that you just can’t teach some people. Doesn’t matter if it is scientists and doctors doing the teaching. If anything in the eyes of idiots that makes them even less credible. Don’t underestimate stupidity.
Would it surprise anyone if it was a Russian run subreddit. Heard moderation is heavy handed to quickly snuff out dissent with people having their conservative flairs taken away if they dare question dear leader who drinks the sun and eats the sky.
Yeah China feeling more emboldened to invade Taiwan and talking about wanting to send in troops to gain experience in Ukraine shows they are looking to fill in the power vacuum left by the US and become US 2.0.
You’d fit right in working for Facebook.
