So "X" - nothing to see here. Elon's in control - Part XXX **Threadbans in OP**

It’s clear to anyone with a functioning brain that he is unhinged and unraveling at a Kanye speed. I think getting booed at Dave Chappell really spooked him. He’s probably surrounded by arse lickers 24/7 so a dose of reality was too much for him, bless. The “woke” apparently hate Dave Chappell so it’s hard to play it was the “woke” who booed him at a Dave Chappell event but reality doesn’t matter to these sorts.

This whole plane doxxing episode means he’s incredibly dumb because that account had what 200k followers, vast majority of people didn’t know it existed(similar ones for bezos,Putin etc). Now he has placed it under a microscope and it has made headlines. He brought about as much attention to something he didn’t want anyone to know about as he possibly could. People can still track his plane, the only thing that’s different now is that number will have increased exponentially. What a genius eh

What are you talking about government interference then if you know Biden wasn't in power? This is the usual right wing trying to play victim of an imagined conspiracy monster and thankfully this time everyone is just shrugging, as they should.

I don't think there would be any scandal if a representative of Michael Martin requested RTE not display a naked picture of one of his children on their website that was hacked from a laptop.

There is far more evidence of right wing media outlets suppressing negative stories about Trump and the GOP, at times even buying stories just to bury them.

Again, I dont agree that there is evidence in the Twitter files of bias, but even if there was so what? Twitter is a private company, they can be as biased as they want - just like we are seeing now with Musk taking over.

Musk should permaban all those journalists who published his info

Have social justice movements been officially banned from Twitter?

I can take on board what you're saying but it doesn't negate the fact that when the boot was on the other foot the people who take issue with new Twitter were happy to see people they didn't like banned.

There's almost an assumption that Twitter was some altruistic utopia pre Musk which isn't an honest interpretation of what it really was.

Twitter has always been a cesspit. The issue isn’t really that Musk is doing anything worse than before, it’s that he’s making himself out to be a champion of free speech when really he wants to ban anyone he doesn’t agree with for petty reasons.

He is 100% within his rights to do so, but he could at least be honest about it.

You mean you can't actually pick something that would actually warrant an investigation.

What hysterical posts. You don't get to hide behind dragging the thread off topic when you are clamouring for investigations

That was the Dr pushing the herd immunity nonsense? I think its fairly obvious why.

Dragging the thread off topic????? This is a thread about Twitter. I am discussing the Twitter Files. And you are accusing me of being hysterical???

Have you listened to what that Stanford professor had to say at all? He didn't join twitter until late 2021, 18 months after the pandemic was declared. Twitter implemented restrictions on him. Should we silence all professors who hold a different view on matters?

cant see how these bans stands up to any scrutiny.

unless the location of planes is not public info (while in the air). are they?

maybe it is public info that plane X is en route to Y destination. but not who is on board?

Having reread your post, I do apologize, I did read it wrong.

There are topics on here that attract a reaction that high degree of hysteria. The Twitter files shine a light on a particular time in 2020 that is still contentious, previously on this thread, while discussing one of those topics, we dragged the thread off topic. That is what I was referring to.

I suggest that you listen to Dr Jay Bhattacharya and see for yourself how controversial he is, he was blacklisted by Twitter staff, which has an impact on his ability to attain reach on the platform, that is precisely what Twitter does, it took action internally to do that, it poses some serious questions.

ie, Did other Social Media platforms do the same?

Did it happen in other countries, were there Irish voices suppressed? Who decided what voices to suppress? Did an external body request the blacklisting...this is what I mean by investigations, it is a reasonable position to take.
