That 60% number. It's roughly the number of non MAGA's in the country. Buy some teslas dummies. He picked the wrong team. I actually really like the chevy electric vehicle. A friends wife has one. Really nice. https://www.chevrolet.com/electric/blazer-ev Until recently Musk was a darling of the liberal social set and hailed as a technological visionary. But since aligning against the censorship regime he's been transitioned to persona non grata. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He picks and chooses who to censor often favoring autocrats He’s picked the wrong team. Tesla has cut prices pi$$ing off early buyers and showing weakness. Twitter is doing poorly and has nothing to do with the ADL. he was never a darling of mine Edited September 5, 2023 by Joe Ferguson forever 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twitter is doing poorly and has nothing to do with the ADL. he was never a darling of mine None of that is unique to X (Twitter). Social media platforms censor for various regimes. Google and other applications perform censorship tasks for the CCP. ISP's block external content and websites so governments can control media and messaging their subjects can receive. EU censorship rules require social media platforms to do the bidding of governments and multi-nation government entities like the EU. Or face fines and other consequences for disobedience to their rules. Social media platforms in the US work with government agencies and entities to control messaging. The problem isn't Musk, or Google, or Facebook, or ISP's. And the only reason Musk is getting called out is because he's a generally uncooperative torn in the side of the regime. The problem is authoritarian government policies and regimes. Slowly freedom of thought and expression are being strangled while everyone focuses on petty disagreements.

There are many of them being spread by people like trump, musk and actual authoritarians. So go ahead and choose musk. I couldn't care less.

I'd suggest you approach sounds more than reasonable but I'd also argue its mostly theoretical. My major objection is a conclusion that the people running "the algorithms" are not driven by a desire to protect the truth. They're driven by self-interest. And when both those factors align it works as you might suggest. But when they don't align, it doesn't. And it doesn't many times. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's fun is using various unpopular topics, such as "COVID vaccines not effective" for a search against various search engines like Google or Bing and then compare how the results are ranked and displayed. You can gather some insights into how specific positive or negative source and stories are displayed and ranked or omitted by the algorithms. I expect if you had some AI powered programs you could perform enough searches to produce enough data and intelligence to more or less reverse engineer the algorithm, identify what sources, authors, and opinions are approved and which are not approved.
