You know who Eddie.

Purposefully obtuse isn't coming off naturally.  Work on it.

There are confessions out there from Twitter employees stating they have shadow banning. If they are real anyway.

So, you’re saying that wasn’t Ari on the video?  CG stuff?

lmao

Ok, fair enough.  He’s the smartest person on that network, but he got a little outside of himself during that spot.

Go to the Twitter link I posted above on this page.  Same video.  Same admission.  It’s a buffet of sources bro.  Belly up!

But but but Bongino!!!

Just pointing out your grievance posting the MAGA shibboleth of "we're being unfairly censored and banned on social media". Without actual real evidence to back your grievance, of course.

And that’s where you completely miss the mark.  Not my grievance, Ari Melber.  You know, the uber-conservative from that right wing network MSNBC?

Once again, real slow for you- Tell. It. To. Ari.

It coulda been stored on Carrot Top’s website - it was still Ari.   Take him to task big fella.

It just dawned on me, this is why people hate billionaires. It's a cheat code to ignore all the griping and complaining from people who disagree with you.

It's called "fuck you" money for a reason.

Getting back to the thread topic of Elon Musk, a majority of American's approve of his most recent venture:

Bonus:  Since readers seem to like for pics of women to be posted, here's one related to Elon Musk's actions.  For some it was a historic and emotional day.

Well, to be honest, Dan Bongino wasn't the source, he just posted the video, but then again who pays attention to those minor details. Oh wait.

Looks like it's 1st Amendment time for Surly too. Time to make Immamac have a breakdown.

She's the one who was in charge of whose tweets to block. Pretty attractive but a little cross-eyed and high cray potential. But, I guess at least the cross-eyes could be wucked out of her.

Kicking people off Twitter, a private company, is something that “matches the law”. What the fuck is he saying? Countries that have laws limiting speech are not actually limiting “free speech”?

Elon, buddy, you’re great at a lot of stuff but maybe leave constitutional law to the lawyers

If you want to boil it down to the core, the only reason people hate a billionaire is jealousy.

I guess that's better than Big Shadow. Personally, she should probably go with Vijay Bahn.

Twitter may cost Elon Musk more than he was expecting, as Tesla investors digest the takeover news.

By the numbers: Tesla shares fell by more than 12% today, or $121.60 per share. That works out to nearly a $21 billion paper loss for Musk, which is the same amount he's personally committed to invest into the Twitter deal.

Be smart: It's not surprising that Tesla stock is down. Investors still haven't been told how involved Musk plans to be with the social network, but know it will take at least some of his attention away from the automaker.

I’d just assume that if Twitter wants to continue to sell ads and/or charge people to use their service steps will have to be made to keep it from being comparable to standing next to hog manure lagoon turning over in the spring. That’ll inevitably upset the folks that enjoy being constantly slathered in shit.

lol... yeah like the algorithm is a bunch of if/then statements. With twitters use of machine learning even the coders have no clue how it's doing what it's doing.

Getting back to the thread topic of Elon Musk, let's hear directly from the visionary/fraud/visionary fraud himself:

Reading the tea leaves, it sounds like he may be planning some personnel changes.

I’m an old. Why does Twitter need an algorithm? If it’s all free speech, why can’t it be free of algorithms? Why can’t it let every search term come through without “enhancing” feeds based on what you like or dislike?

The short answer is money. Companies can’t pay to promote tweets with no algorithm.

It’s not free. That’s the point.

So is the algorithm strictly for paid ads? Are ad buyers promised they will reach certain users with targeted content based on their likes and retweets?

No to your first Q, and probably something like that to your 2nd

So free speech is free, but because of the algorithm it’s more like “free monitored speech” to create targeted content because of ads based on user activity?
