Some reporters risk their lives reporting from war zones, but the truly brave ones tweet a lot.

Lmao.

Competing platforms are now banned on twitter.  Apparently they are "potentially harmful". 

The list includes: Facebook, Instagram, Mastadon, Truth Social, Tribel, Nostr and Post.  Not TikTok though.

Free speech at work!

I guess he leaves Tiktok alone as he doesn't want to piss off his Chinese backers

Anyone else see how stupidly transparent this all is? Also Tiktok is probably among the most harmful app out there. I have a feeling these new rules will just disenfranchise more people on Twitter. Less engagement will lead to less revenue and less sponsors caring to spend their advertising budget on it.

Well, you can still cross post content, apparently.  Banning accounts that promote the other socials.

Well you might get the opportunity. Elon has a poll running on whether he should step down. He's currently losing.

He definitely should not be the one changing the rules. I mean, he owns it, he can do it if he wants, but if he wants Twitter to eventually do well he needs to back away from the every day rule making and enforcement. I think some of his ideas are good, like allowing some banned accounts back, but flipping out and blocking links to the fediverse is dumb. The information about his private plane is still out there, and he's only made more people aware of it.

Step down from the role of CEO. Still owns the company.

That was my point - he can tell any new CEO what to do.

I guess it would be about the optics. The new CEO will just be the fall guy for any decision that turns out to be unpopular despite taking direction from Elon. Elon must be hating all the negative press and scrutiny

Tell me more about how you used to enjoy driving your 300zx.

Some kinda weird thing happened. Apparently, over the weekend there was a new twitter rule imposed where you couldn't re-tweet to other social media platforms like FB. Then, like 24 hours later, the rule was retracted. Twitter seems a little all over the place, flailing.

And I wonder if this nonsense will actually mean anything...

From the article, it seems to imply that this issue is spread across more social media platforms than just Twitter. Am I reading that right?

Much of the Pentagon’s covert social media ops focused on promoting the war in Yemen. Which American actually voted for this war? Who does it benefit other than Saudi Arabia & it’s local Al Qaeda allies? The war has killed thousands of children & civilians, displaced millions.

I wonder if the Pentagon is also the reason the msm rarely report on the war in Yemen.
