Twitter is upset with Musk over the 5% bot thing.

Wellllll? He would have to define “wrong think”. Simply calling it that leaves it open to interpretation.

It’s almost like having a user agreement and rules to use the site. Hmmmm?

I never argued against a user agreement or anything of the sort, so I don’t know what kinda of gotcha you think this is

This thread is not the place to argue about the quality and qualities of NS moderation, nor the decisions thereof. If you have a problem with moderation, the vast majority of you know the proper channels by which to state your grievances.

Son of a bitch.

BREAKING: Twitter Senior Engineer says “Twitter Does Not Believe in Free Speech”, admits employees are “Commie as F**k”and they tried to “revolt against” ElonMusk’s takeover bid.

I was very concerned over Elon reversing Trump's ban. However, considering this I might just be taking Elon's side. Don't get me wrong, trump is a outright terrible human being. However, to think that they might not have banedn trump because of the insurrection, but because 'muh politics' is crazy.

Don't even get me started on the thought that if they're communist that they could be batting for Russia like so many tankies are doing right now. Now I want twitter taken over by him even more.

Ah yes project Vertias: What an reliable source. /s

Like I'm honestly just confused on why an disinformation warrior(keyboard or otherwise) wouldn't know about these trumpian backed assholes. You're new?

"But-but right wingered got banned" it's a common thing for mass site moderation to have where the hammer strikes be inconsistent. Sometimes they only listen to right-wingers and sometimes it's the left. It's whoever yells the loudest at any given time.

I know about Project Veritas. It doesn't change the evidence though. A senior employee at one of the global social media companies has confirmed that they're batting for a specific agenda. That's really bad. You don't have to be right-wing to know that.

That’s probably true, but the systems themselves will willingly look over doxxing and hate campaigns by anyone on the right if the target is trans, lgbt, or a non-English speaker.

You're right, it's not. I know many liberals that are anti-communist. But a lot of twitter employees seem to be 'left' (or just socialist/commies), if what the senior engineer for the company says is true.

You know who they are yet you think these quote editors can't possibly be misrepresenting what this guy says or that these people who lie about who they give the mike to can be trustworthy on who''s an senior employee?

You know that the source of the information is not credible but you believe them anyway. Hmm.

Project Veritas has done things like this before, you know. Sent reporters on dates with tech company staff and had those confederates try to provoke juicy lines they can cut out of context.

Okay, how about the fact it's being carried on a mainstream news source then? https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/articl ... right.html

I'm genuinely befuddled on why you think Daily mail is mainstream rather than the BS distrusted newsite it is. Did you really jump on the anti-fake news train just back in feb or something? It's alright if you did but well you do need some catch up.

Well i didn't know that about the dailymail. Thanks for informing me. I'll take that into consideration in the future.

It doesn't change the evidence though. Personal attack against me won't do anything about that, and I fully expect more news sites like cnn and msnbc will pick up this story over the next day or two once they verify it on their own. This looks bad for twitter, no other way about it. Tankies will defend them, but that's to be expected.

I expect major news coverage and a few lawsuits will happen from this.

If there was someone self-evident about the interview that was solid you wouldn't have bothered finding an "mainstream source" to collaborate it. You could have just argue for the conclusion it couldn't have been quote edited .
And even then there's still "I sourced proof that they lie about what their interviewees actually are so they could just be interviewing an lair." to contend with.

"I think that everyone that is honest can admit that Twitter has a left-wing basis" seems sadly the reasoning here.

I already agree with them so they if say they're an expert confirmating of my views on this then they are.

I can admit the Palmer report is full of shit even when the shit they spew agrees with me. So i find all this very pointless. This is not the Project vertias thread this is twitter.

They should have just brought up what convinced them in first place rather than let them fall in line with Russian supporting liars. Even if an broken clock is right twice a day doesn't it makes sense to point to one.
