If you have an issue with Reuters, you have an issue with free press. Motherfucker's a free speech ablutionist.
the only free speech elon care's about is his own.
and maybe those idiots that still think his farts are a breeze of fresh air.
literally. claims to be about free speech, buys an open speech platform.. forces everyone to pay. 'free speech'
also like the first thing he did was ban that kid that was tweeting his trips.
He is except if you are in Turkey or if you say something he does not like.
If you're still using Twitter, you're part of the problem.
Its been a long time I left twitter , moved to mastodon!
Not sure why you're being downvoted, you're absolutely right. I stopped using it the day he took over and anyone still using it is helping prop it up.
Well that an illegal trade practice.
What law does this violate?
I see it's time to dust off these old Net Neutrality bumper stickers.
Neutrality is about ISPs being content-neutral. Xfinity won't block or slow down access to Netflix, for example.
One website doing shitty things is just shitty. Twitter is not a ISP. If you don't want to sit through their setTimeout(), go to the destination directly.
Net neutrality has never been about forcing content platforms to accommodate their competitors.
"Free speech absolutist". Right. I intended to write that Musk is a clown, but I like clowns more than him, and I hate clowns.
I uninstalled Twitter from my phone when it switched to X, so I stopped using it until yesterday when I was on my laptop and happened to hit my bookmark. Formerly a daily user.
Maybe I'm just getting older but it really felt different, like it lost the magic. The top trending term was a Trump re-election hashtag (which happened in the past but not like in August the year before an election), the biggest and most popular tweets were all about how censored they are and declaring a mysterious "they" were keeping down the authors, it really turned into Parlor while I wasn't paying attention.
Caught a sick route in practice by Zay Flowers but other than that it was trash.
Seems anti-competitive. If only we had laws against that kind of thing in the US.
Sure!!!! When a billionaire DDoSes websites they say it's legal, but when one hacktivist sends more than 1 request in 10 secods to a bad website, he goes to jail for 20 years!! We do live in a society!,
Did you even read the article?
A DDoS attack has almost the same effect in this case.
