Says you. Musk banned accounts that were specifically set up to advertise other platforms. He's not banning cross posting as you imply.

I agree but the policy isn't worded to include the posting of a link. It's worded to stop a user account that only directs viewers elswhere, however, that doesn't mean it can't be abused to shut down an account. If it's an attempt to stop the jet tracker user all that user needs to do is add other content.

In essence, it's the same problem that occurs trying to legeslate gun controls. The terminology always limits the scope and work arounds can be found.

Faced with criticism of recent changes to Twitter, Elon Musk had polled users on whether he should step down as head of the social media site. The result: he should.

In the poll, which ended at 6:20 a.m. in New York (12:20 p.m. CET), about 57.5% of the 17.5 million voters voted yes. The billionaire, Twitter owner and Tesla CEO will abide by the vote, as he assured in a tweet on Sunday.

No twitter user myself so no vote from me, but he certainly created a royal pig's breakfast.

Jimbuna 12-19-22 07:17 AM

He most certainly has :yep:

Can’t wait to see everyone’s reaction to Musk’s replacement. :haha:

I am wondering if he has had enough of trying to deal with unreasonable people who cry when they can't get their way.

Some of the complainers wouldn't be happy unless they got to pick the replacement.:yep:

I’m beginning to wonder what’s in the koolaid some people are drinking.

My god, think about it for a moment, PLEASE. Patting yourself on the back voting for something with absolutely no idea of what the result will be. Thinking that human exploration and pursuing advancements in technology and energy is something the world doesn’t need. And judging how another man should raise up his own family.

That appears to be right. You had one lying nitwit in the White House replaced by another lying nitwit. And there seems to be a never ending supply of lying nitwits. :up:

Absolutely. AI minds are smarter than humans.

Elon Musk has tweeted for the first time since more than 10 million people voted in favor of him stepping down as Twitter’s chief executive, saying that only paid Twitter Blue subscribers will be able to vote in future policy-related polls.
