The above user has been secret banned for spreading falsehoods about the secret council.

Next thing you know, they'll be talking about the Golden Boards...

Elon Musk says he’s found a woman to lead Twitter as new CEO
Quote
He did not name her but said she will be starting in about six weeks.

It is hillarious, actually. First thing she did was to announce she'll reinstate strict content moderation so ad corpos could "get excited about investing", among other blurbs about twitter needing representations. Musk fans are setting themselves ablaze.
Tucker carlson is going to relaunch on Twitter, I doubt anything can top that.. And i'd wait to see the final print on 'strict content moderation' I assume their goal would be to control images posted after the recent shooting not blip Tuckers whole show

It is likely to be genuine. Content moderation is not made to appeal to the public, but to the announcers who fled the platform at the switch of governance (the whole "now you have to pay $8 a month for the blue tick" and the "we're firing literally half the staff" has to be understood in that context).

This is an extremely awkward 180 degree turn, that off course goes against the very principle under which the buyout was initiated. You know the "twitter is the new public square" the "I don't care about the economics" and the "Im a free speech absolutist".

Of course, feel free to check te page 1 of this very thread to check who is this handsome blue avatar profile who saw that coming the moment it started.

It's not just to appeal to advertisers, it's also to keep away lawsuits and such, which are already ongoing and likely to get worse if they don't put some kind of stopper on the sources of it. The amount of scams and impersonation and shit that have populated on twitter since they omnifucked verification is faintly incredible, in the "how do you even fail this badly" sort of sense. There's been multiple reported cases of high level politicians and outright governments putting out some variation on "unfuck this mess you made or we're going to do it for you" over the last while.

I didn't thought of that but there's something really cathartic in that realisation. All of these panic-changes are going to be a further mess, but I for one am happy to see that monster suffer and die.

Remember: The owner of Twitter is forbidden from commenting on Tesla without first getting his legal department's approval.

His genius is such that legal needs to experience it first.

So, now Musk wants to turn Twitter into a VKontakte by giving "verified" users the ability to upload 2-hour-long videos.

Yay! Knowing how "well" Elon's Twitter moderates content, I expect a flood of pirated content followed by lawsuits.  Oh. And pedo porn. A lot of pedo porn

Content moderation is very vague term. To say that Musk who is working on 'anti-woke' ChatGPT and will give Tucker carlson stage is doing 180 degree seem like wishful thinking. Worse its not Tucker but influx of his sort and conservative-leaning parody\humor that should worry you..

Otherwise, all the assessments about its operations seem to me like fluff, nothing but an extension USA political political discourse. Twitter will be going through a rough patch during adjustment period, but its not going anywhere.

I mean, that's actively happening now, yes. The pirated content, the lawsuits, and the spike in CSAM on the platform.

... far as I can recall that all happened even before the longer form videos started getting allowed, though, somewhere in the wake of the dumbshit firing most of the moderation staff. Actions have consequences sometimes, weird how that works :V

If Twitter stops being free, it's gone.
The whole reason Government Officials use it to communicate is because it's free. They're not gonna pay to use it.

Frankly, nobody is going to pay to use it. Never in the history of the Internet has the business plan of taking something available for free and charging for it worked.

... except for Dwarf Fortress, but they added graphics, so it doesn't count.  :P

In the case of DF, the original version is still there. not so much in Twitter's case.
