All I see here is competence on the side of Blow and Casey. Incompetence and arrogance on the side of Microsoft.

Is there even an argument that it's not anti-Asian? Here's the percentage of each group scoring above 700 on the SAT: Asian 25% White 6% Hispanic 2% Black 1% https://www.brookings.edu/blog/brown-center-chalkbo

You think some tweets did that as opposed to transforming the car and space industries?

Most of those are examples of him curating his own life. Not curating yours or mine. If he does, it will be a problem.

Even just releasing the audit trail of shadowbans, upranking, downranking would be meaningful. Full transparency of actions taken in the past and going forward.

"Among the elite, and within Twitter specifically, there is much more inclination to ban the right. I say this as someone whose political views, if you force them onto the left-right spectrum, probably end up about 80% toward the left.

> Twitter imposed the temporary ban to keep employees who may be miffed about the deal from “going rogue,” according to one of the people. What could a rogue employee do?

Why do people keep saying he'll get frustrated and lose interest, as though he has a history of giving up on things once they get hard? People were saying that about his bid too.

Looks like we already have. Your 5 dogecoin is worth 25% more on the news.

No. There is a difference between choosing who to follow, who to mute, who to block and Twitter deciding these things for you. He's advocating the former, not the latter.

Some great points, but he's in deep denial about censorship. Here's what Paul Graham, who started this very forum, said about that thread: I read @yishan's thread about Twitter and agree, as I think anyone who's run a fo

They are idle. Here's what Paul Graham, who has a lot of experience fighting spam, said: "Either (a) Twitter is terribly bad at detecting spam or (b) there's something about Twitter that makes detecting spam difficult or (c)

It's another example of how disconnected the elites are from reality.

I would spend 15% of my net worth on free speech. Wouldn't you? A lot of people downvoting, so I'll expand; It's fair to give the benefit of the doubt given that Tesla is helping combat climate change and SpaceX is about beco

Correct. No one can deal with all that shit. But it's distributed. You can ignore most of it, or all of it if you want. There are plenty of us autists to overwhelm it. Sending Flat Earthers off to their own dark corner is how they beco

It's EASY to counter Holocaust deniers because there is so much evidence that it happened. It's like debating flat earthers. No problem. Why be threatened by things that are easily debunked in day light? It's not hard to defe
