And if Elon lives up to what he's pledged, the code for these algorithms will be open source going forward.

 

I'm sure that's a bad idea as well to the left. <_<

I don’t honestly know how any of that software code stuff works but I find it downright amazing that Musk buys the sewer and magically the very next day the floodgates were opened on followers. I lose more and more respect for the Left every day. These people are so deeply invested in this woke religion they can’t see the damage they’re leaving in their wake.

I know plenty of democrats and liberals. None of them talk like the morons on this board. They are just here to incite - bored no life rejects with nothing better to do.

Yes, they are private and can do what they want.  But they shouldn't be able to avoid libel suits by claiming they have no editorial discretion as to what their users put out and then act as publisher

AND, put a Leftist in charge.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

From Politico:

 

DHS is standing up a new Disinformation Governance Board to coordinate countering misinformation related to homeland security, focused specifically on irregular migration and Russia. Nina Jankowicz will head the board as executive director. She previously was a disinformation fellow at the Wilson Center, advised the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry as part of the Fulbright Public Policy Fellowship and oversaw Russia and Belarus programs at the National Democratic Institute. (h/t Daniel Lippman)

thanks Brandon, very Orwellian of you - perhaps Barry can be a consultant for this boondoggle ...

Conservative Twitter accounts got boost in followers after Musk acquisition, data shows

 

 

It’s not your imagination: follower counts on Twitter really have been shifting wildly in response to news that Elon Musk had finalized a deal to acquire the platform.

 

Data compiled by The Verge from social media statistics site Social Blade shows that in the two days since the deal was completed, influential conservative accounts have increased their follower counts at roughly ten times the average daily rate for the month leading up to the acquisition.

 

Meanwhile, popular liberal accounts have suffered, collectively losing hundreds of thousands of followers on April 25th and 26th after a month of gains.

 The potential that Twitter users will likely be able to exchange ideas without every idea and opinion being measured and judged against some official narrative or group preference of thought must be frightening to them all. 

One thing for certain they'll be generating lots of panic over the dangers that free speech poses to society.  Which is comical and a complete misrepresentation of their real concern.  What they want to say is anyone that disagrees with me should continue to be silenced

That’s where confirmation bias comes into play though so I still think people will just follow who they agree with or those with complete opposite views they can try and dunk on.

 

I don’t really see twitter changing much except less people on the far right getting banned.

Or the NY Post, one of the oldest newspapers in the country getting censored. Actual account banned by Twitter while others aren't allowed to share a real documented story in the weeks before a presidential election.

 

Somehow this gets lumped in with "far right wing" getting banned. 

 

Utter insanity that this was normalized in 2020 and apparently beyond. 

 

Wake. The. *****. Up.

It would be nice if they could stick to a position and not make hypocrites of themselves.  Twitter is still a private company and can do whatever they want.  It's just that doing whatever they want now clashes with the Commies' vision.  I haven't heard a single person calling for the ban of left-wingers on Twitland.

it would just be nice to see a platform adhere to a straight forward set of common sense rules and implement them evenly.

 

i hope this isnt about "allowing" a type of extremism, what your calling far right but instead ALSO removing the other side of extremism that has  become normalized simply by the platform and corp media ignoring.

That's where I hope Musk will make twitter's algorithm an open source so the rules are applied fairly to all users.  Maybe an amendment to section 230 to apply the same standard to all major social media platforms is needed.

ehh i been hearing section 230 alot and its pretty convienent to have that seriously brought up only now, trump did have his chance as well mind you but i think as for platform rules the free market will decide if elons changes are a success for most changes implemented. seeing as offering free speach will be "unique" for a established platform.

 

sorry but i don't want this administration touching something along the lines of what's "misinformation" in a law. im sure both sides would love to convien to bring society back to the days of 3 tv stations of certified gov approved info as controlling the narrative has spiraled out of their control...more so one side.

 

but i would support common sense changes like doxxing having harsh penalties and death threats and such. as of now these things seem to not even be taken seriously and people do them pretty freely without any regard to a punishment.

Yeah.  Those would be common sense changes and I'm just suggesting more oversight into making the algorithms used public to ensure the rules are applied fairly.  That does mean some regulation as the free market didn't prevent Twitter from suspending the NY Post account right before the election and the NY Post couldn't do a darn thing about it.   I understand your concern with misinformation though and it would have to be a bipartisan effort to make amendments to section 230.  Good luck with that.

 

As an aside, I personally am not a big fan of twitter as far as politics go (love it for sports though) as it rewards tribalism and brings out the worst in people.  I don't see many nuanced conversations between people who disagree with each other on there.

I apologize for that part. It wasn't meant for you personally but for the left in general.

 

I know you are one of the few honest posters here that leans left.

“Sage Steele is the only openly conservative personality at ESPN, and she has never shied away from or compromised her beliefs. That’s made her a target for wokes at the subsidiary of The Walt Disney Company, and now she’s suing ESPN and Disney for violating her free speech rights.”

May not want to use a Nazi sympathizing maniacal congresscritter to make your point, but you can lay in that bed if you'd like.

Please Note:

 

Ignored the horrible re-post of the new Ministry CEO that clearly shows her biased mindset.

 

Instead he tries to divert by using the standard criticism of a minor league congresswoman, who's tweet came with the post.

 

 

Not a serious response.  (as usual)
