Elon Musk takes over Twitter

[Jimbuna]

Billionaire Elon Musk has said there will be no changes to Twitter's content moderation policies for now after completing his $44bn (£38.1bn) takeover of the platform.

"To be super clear, we have not yet made any changes to Twitter's content moderation policies," he tweeted.

Earlier he announced the creation of a new council to moderate posts.

He also tweeted that "anyone suspended for minor & dubious reasons" would be "freed from Twitter jail".

"Comedy is now legal on Twitter," he said.

I think he will wreak considerable havoc in the political landscape, and want to establish fake news as equal to evidence, so that the concept of an ultimate truth of last resort - the definition of "truth" - is completely destroyed. That, by the way, is the goal of the Russian propaganda ploy: to make any certainty about reality impossible through maximum confusion and then to push forward with their own narrative into the vacuum thus created. Also Trump - and those who follow him - does nothing else but exactly this.

Anyone who has read Musk's remarks on the foreign policy plan for Ukraine can easily calculate that only dangerous things can result from this low intellectual level. Musk should limit himself to what he is obviously good at: Run Tesla and Space X. But improving the world - well, he still has to do a lot of convincing for me. You have to remember that he is first and foremost an entrepreneur. And entrepreneurs primarily have entrepreneurial interests.

And how is that any different to what went on before he bought it. Legitimate news stories (Hunter Biden laptop), which turned out to be true were censored for political gain during an election cycle. Free speech is a tricky thing but accurate news reporting being censored is the direct opposite of free speech.

Now I know that in the past when people complained about it that the stock answer was, "well it is a private company and they can do what they want." Let's say that again for the record.

Once cash money is gone and public transportation demands an app instead of a paper ticket and authortiy interact with you onyl via onloine portals and apps...

Its coming, and more and more of this crap is already reality in more and more countries.

Its a damn pest.

The really discouraging thing is that many, especially younger ones who do not know it any different, even embrace the golden line being attached around their necks.

Dont be fooled by that it is golden and looks nice. Its unbreakable and can strangle you, if the hand holding the other end of this golden line wants it so.


And dont be fooled again. That hand at the other end of the line is not yours.

Yet, that is the key word here.

"There will be no changes" is not at all the same thing as "we have not yet made any changes".

Unlimited freedom of speech on social media leads to polarization, to the spread of disinformation and the undermining of democracy, to a huge increase in hatred as well, and an upsurge in all kinds of racism. This is because of the nature of social media, because of their revenue model enshrined in their algorithms. Social media float on advertisements and thus want attention, as much and for as long as possible, from as many people as possible. The most attention attracts expressions that generate hate and outrage. Thus, any algorithm that wants to generate as much attention as possible will favor such polarizing, promoting and hateful posts.

In my opinion an owner of meeting place like twitter, Facebook or a forum should be 110% political neutral.

You left off "in a perfect world". Not even an artificial intelligence is 100% political neutral.

You could be right I in my opinion have this standpoint being a owner of a place where people with different political, religious and layer of society meets it's important to keep a neutral standpoint.

That's how I see it.

And if you doubt then I can tell you it is possible-I have for a short time-Around 3 month been a owner of a Danish Forum(that's why I want to create a new one again)I toke over a complete forum. With members and all that.
Before this I have always been to the right on the political spectrum-When I toke over I became neutral-100 %.
