Irrespective of anything regarding Musk, Shouldn't transparency and Truth be sought from Twitter. Full Stop.
---
I recall when I interviewed there in ~2008?? Don't recall, and they asked me in the interview what I thought Twitter was: I stated "Twitter is a global sentiment engine thats able to take the pulse of users around the globe on any topic"
I didn't get the job.
- krapp 4y ago> Irrespective of anything regarding Musk, Shouldn't transparency and Truth be sought from Twitter. Full Stop. No. Twitter is not the press, nor is Twitter a public utility. Twitter is under no obligation to provide "Truth" or "transparency" to the public. It's a microblogging service, not the BBC. Full Stop.
- aliswe 4y ago> It's a microblogging service, not the BBC. Full Stop. *publicly listed. so they need to be transparent as far as market information goes, while not disclosing corporate secrets or breaching personal data regulations. and the CEO said from the start that they cant disclose more details regarding their 5% assessment.
- CommieBobDole 4y agoI think you're both right here - transparency and truth from Twitter should be sought, and they are under no obligation to provide it.
- eloff 4y agoNo, you're missing the fact that Twitter is a publicly traded company. If they knowingly provide false or misleading information in their filings, the SEC and likely the shareholders can go after them. It would be tricky to prove intent here, but there may be other risks. I'm not a lawyer.
