Yeah, I'll be curious to see, now this is not first hand, but I was referencing this pitch deck to investors which seems like the most honest version of Elon? Since it's directly connected to the money, but who knows. https:&#x2

It's actually not a _terrible_ example it was partially overturned in brandenurg v ohio. It's still applicable if it actually inspires lawless action.

I think his goal is to figure out how to do this and keep it sane and keep the advertisers and grow the membership. It will take a long time to get there, and Twitter will have to look very different to get there.

What about “this pattern of tweets is sufficiently correlated with declining user engagement”. Should Twitter make decisions based on the health of the business?

Diverse is pretty vague, maybe it’s just Elon and not Elon.

Am I missing something? I guess with a custom browser, but I can’t close the “what’s happening” box and I often see retweets and likes from the people I follow. You can individually turn off retweets but that’s hate-UX, is there a way to d

This would be great, but it's also how they get "engagement" and "eyeballs" and all those fanschy schamnsy things advertisers love.

hrmm has this been tested? I read the article and it seems to suggest that there is in fact no case law on this, not that it has been proven legal. I always thought scenario was: If you ran into a theater as a prank and yelled fire and two

This might be true, in which case maybe he brings jack nack or another executive in? I think jack expressed he wasn’t interested.

I mean maybe, I sort of literally just mean not drive his investment into the ground by opening the floodgates, that could take a lot of forms.

I mean, if you think that “everyone is happy with Elon’s content moderation strategies” was one of the possible outcomes, well then I disagree, I think Elon is going to take heat for content moderation across the political spectrum.

Were they? I know I can see their pages, but I don't see any new content from them. realdonaldtrump is still suspended, I imagine we'll just have to wait to see what happens.

Did you block him? I still see the tweet. Maybe he got selectively shadowbanned :-)

This sort of justifies the viewpoint that despite all his bluster, Elon will probably run Twitter the way a "reasonable executive" would. Not just release the hounds. Keep the advertisers happy, but try to reduce the reliance on

Since it looks like it was a prank and he didn't actually do this, it seems like good advice.

Yeah which seems like a bland day-one target.

Since twitter is private, we won’t necessarily get regular updates into the health of the company, right?

It’s a vague term so I wasn’t sure what they did but if your goal is less moderation, maybe you assume you don’t need “data engineers”

Apparently He laid off the data engineering team. That term is pretty vague, anyone know what they do? https://www.cnbc.com/2022/10/28/departing-twitter-employees-... Edit: this may have been a prank.

Trump is in a weird position though that he can't come back to Twitter without sabotaging any value or investment he put into Truth Social since just about the only value in Truth Social is that Trump is on it.

Are the moderation algorithms grokkable? There are probably a number of different layers, but I assume the real meat is just a bunch of obscure ML weighting.

Which companies were defended and for what? Those companies are going to seek retribution towards their defenders, why? I see a lot of Conservatives defending twitter right now, you think Musk is going to go after them?

Interesting, I wonder if they bulk unsuspended a bunch of accounts, or if they're doing it selectively. If they're bulk doing it, they must have a way to differentiate between suspended bots and suspended people. realdonaldtrump

I agree this is definitely possible, but if you do all that, is it still the public square open to debate, if you are selectably promoting / monetizing "tasteful" tweets?
418.
by mikkergp 4y ago
It does seem like the problem with twitter is it is one big open subreddit, but that's sort of the vision too. The solution may be to find ways to segment twitter more, but does that fly in the face of the public square goal.

Who is advocating against fundamental freedoms and how do you think they'll get the short end of the "companies are allowed to do whatever they want" stick?
