I don't follow you. There was no intent to insult so I'm missing something.

The European Union has threatened Elon Musk's Twitter with a ban unless the billionaire abides by its strict rules on content moderation, setting up a regulatory battle over the future of the social media platform https://www.reuters.com/technology/e...ft-2022-11-30/

You called Rockstar a "maghat". I don't believe the term is complimentary and I also doubt your claim of confusion.

If MAGA means "Make America great again",
how would you abbreviate T.'s new motto "Make America Great And Glorious Again"?

He has a new motto? Apparently you follow Trump much more than I do because that's completely new to me.

I see. I did not call Rockstar a maghat, I said maghats are obsessed with pedophilia. It's not a connection I intended as a personal insult.

Twitter users heads are bursting, Just like the Martians in Mars Attacks! Who would ever contemplate or know that Twitter. A venue where you could in the beginning just express your inner self online and post. Would become such a Democracy where every person that isn't in the tribal mind think and following a Political agenda. Would be banned and canceled ? But it happened, And 1 man on this planet who understands.The Peter Principle which no voter or invester even understands or knows about today in our new world.
Much less the everyday ant of 21st century. So i'm happy that there's someone one this planet that's smarter than any University Professor or all the World Leaders.The question will be how long will they let him live.:up:

This is what happens when the woke crowd gets a little power and authority.

Szabo’s letter contains chilling passages relaying Democratic lawmakers’ attitudes. They want “more” moderation, and as for the Bill of Rights, it's "not absolute"
I'm guessing there is more to come on this story.

What Elon Musk’s Twitter files have revealed so far is that content moderation at Twitter WAS being decided by a team of people with differing viewpoints.

Now it’s being decided by the richest man on Earth with an axe to grind against one political party — a true scandal. https://twitter.com/oneunderscore__/...30730963845123

I'll point out that Apple pulling it's advertising is an example of free speech on their part. Twitter can sue Apple if they don't like it.

The Twittergate files

What did the President know and when did he know it? Musk releases Hunter Biden laptop files that reveal Twitter execs replied 'handled' to requests from 'Biden team' and DNC to delete tweets just ten days after scandal broke

From the posted Twitter thread by Matt Taibbi, quote ....

Quote:

Both parties had access to these tools. For instance, in 2020, requests from both the Trump White House and the Biden campaign were received and honored. However: This system wasn't balanced. It was based on contacts. Because Twitter was and is overwhelmingly staffed by people of one political orientation, there were more channels, more ways to complain, open to the left (well, Democrats) than the right. The resulting slant in content moderation decisions is visible in the documents you’re about to read.
Quote:

On October 14, 2020, the New York Post published BIDEN SECRET EMAILS, an expose based on the contents of Hunter Biden’s abandoned laptop. Twitter took extraordinary steps to suppress the story, removing links and posting warnings that it may be “unsafe.” They even blocked its transmission via direct message, a tool hitherto reserved for extreme cases, e.g. child pornography.

All conveyed by a questionable former expat in Russia. It's not government malfeasance to ask a company to follow its own TOS nothing in the release itself are news, but the release in context shows how Elon is moving Twitter to conservative cause célèbre. It is frustrating that so few people seem to not know the difference between TOS and the First Amendment. Including the owner of Twitter, apparently. This whole episode is another very good explanation for why there are no ads on Twitter anymore it is noteworthy that a billionaire wasted $44 billion buying a social media platform yet has no functional grasp of how the First Amendment works, knows nothing about moderation, knows nothing (apparently) of privacy issues, and fired everyone who worked there who does. It's what happens when journalists are ego-driven to drop the 'next big story', even when one doesn't exist.

All old news nothing to see here Twitter’s then-CEO, Jack Dorsey, said he regretted the platform’s decision to censor the story. Censoring a paper is serious, but so is making sure stolen content weaponized by both domestic and foreign political operatives doesn't impact an election. Taibbi and Musk are making a conspiracy out of a situation where twitter staff were trying their best and at worst fumbled.

Will these revelations shake the political landscape in the United States?

The Twittergate files:
Hunter Biden got some hookers, smoked some crack, snorted some cocaine, probably took meth too. These are things right-wingers do all the time - so we're confused as to why they're so mad about it. Are they mad they weren't invited to the party? Is that what triggered the right wing? Breaking: Hunter Biden's Triggers Right Wing Incel Movement to Question their Own Manhood & Womanhood. Maybe that's why there are so many right-wingers trying to get the pictures
