Is there not some kind of law regarding general access to government notices? I shouldn't have to sign up for a private website to keep up with public services.
How dare you question? Off to El Salvador.
Understandable, I've never said thank you even once.
Probably not even wearing a suit smh
Is there not some kind of law
Maybe. But nobody's willing to enforce it anyway.
Purely hypothetically if musk were to become president would x then become a public website
LOL no, America doesn't nationalize private holdings. Presidents would (normally) have to divest themselves from the company at least, but trump has set a new precedent there too so who knows if future presidents will adhere.
Everyone involved in this decision should be shot.
What happened to all the republicans crying about "government shouldn't be picking winners and losers"? Oh right, they're hypocritical little shits that should be in the ground.
So tired of everything trash because like a third of the country has less emotional maturity than a toddler.
Republicans pick winners and losers in their misanthropic hierarchy. Now they own the government, so the government is them.
Nazi government uses Nazi platform. We did see this coming.
I've said it before and I'll say it again... a social media post is NOT an official government communication. I don't mind it being used in addition to public channels to help spread the word further, but if you are going to use one platform then you should be required to use all of them to ensure all affected people receiving the same information... and I don't see them posting on Bluesky or Mastodon or even Reddit.
I don’t think they should be required to use all of the networks, just the open ones, i.e. no account registration required, easily accessible
Because X is definitely the right place for that, and something older generations will have access to and know how to use…
Can we stop this timeline now?
Yeah... This is literally designed to hurt people and help Twitter. Some of my older family members don't even have a smart phone. And if they do the only social media they use is Facebook.
That needs to be illegal immediately
snap "it's illegal. "
-But... But nothing changed?
Since when has the Trump administration cared about following the law or had any consequences for breaking them?
X.gov
Elon's wet fucking dream
Why is this not a conflict of interest?
I feel like that whole concept flew the coop a looong time ago
Twitter, the web site that is broken if you don't have an account? That's seriously fucked up.
It's also broken if you try to use Firefox to access it
???????????????????????
Musk's long term corporate welfare strategy is forcing all government functions to be subcontracted out through his companies. His companies wouldn't have long term stability without subsidies, this is literally all he knows.
No I get Musk. What I don’t get his which bonehead decided that was a good idea with no backups.
Musk decided.
I am still trying to understand how this is a relevant technology post to the world
that's smart because your core audience who would most be interested in your communications totally use social media /s
also you can't even fucking view posts unless you're logged on
