Hell, just the fact that now Twitter's worst users are now making company policy decisions because they have the ear of its CEO, a man who acts on whatever the literal last person who talks to him tells him to do because he's an empty-brained special boy with a three second attention span, is as loving hilarious as it is terrifying.

Levitate posted:Was there anything interesting in the “twitter files” Hunter Biden has a massive dick and the Biden family/campaign asked Twitter to try and delete any instances of it being posted by people because it was functionally revenge porn and that's illegal in a lot of places that Twitter operates and can be sued in. That's about it.

Levitate posted:Was there anything interesting in the “twitter files” They unearthed a bunch of emails along the lines of "the Biden campaign sent us a list of tweets to remove" followed by a bunch of tweet URLs with no descriptions. The tweets were all deleted, of course, and Taibbi doesn't tell us what they were, so the reader could only imagine what important info Twitter was suppressing on the Biden campaign's behalf. Unless, of course, the reader goes and looks up the tweets on an archival service, which revealed that they were all photos of Hunter's dick. The rest of the Twitter Files so far was p much the same way: Taibbi throwing a scary narration over the most innocuous poo poo. A good chunk of it was just "Republican politicians were pissed" and "Twitter employees aren't even thinking about the First Amendment".

As much fun as it is to dump on Elon, not sure we should leap to conclusions in this particular case. We don’t and likely never will know the details here, assuming Elon/Twitter isn’t bent on destroying attorney-client privilege. e: ‘destroy’ = a bombastic way to say ‘waive’. Apologies for any confusion caused. Saying things that waive privilege now could have very negative implications in future litigation. the other hand fucked around with this message at 19:57 on Dec 7, 2022 |

So I assume he hosed something up and is on a rampage I tweet very infrequently and generally banal poo poo about my new book releases. This morning I tweeted: "@Elonmusk the guy isn't a mole in deep cover, he is an employee. Do you not know how to read a loving org chart?" And was perma-banned from Twitter by the time I got back from my shower. It is the best day of my life.

There’s also a difference between an attorney representing Twitter and an attorney representing Musk, and a difference between Musk’s statements as his own personal opinions and his statements as a part of Twitter, the company, and these separations can and do get hairsplit constantly in court.

No, they converted some spare conference rooms into bedrooms to support their new "hardcore" working style under Musk. This was done pretty openly. The Musk collective's rebuttal has been to shriek about kids dosing on discarded fentanyl because in modern society we can only focus on one thing at a time.

Yeah, for some reason the office in charge of zoning is supposed to be also running LE/drug response programs lol. Really it was Elon doing the equivalent of getting pulled over for drunk driving and yelling at the cop that there's someone else doing a bigger crime.

That makes sense. The rooms looked so hotel-room nice I couldn’t believe they were installed so quickly, but of course it looks like that was just his room he spared no expense on.

Now, Irwin is saying that she had full control over the access, but noted transphobe Abigail Shirer, who is involved with Weiss on these Twitter Files BS, said they were given "extensive, unaltered access", so who knows who's telling the truth. Also, if you look closely, you'll see the traffic of the LoTT account which is apparently 1 million followers but only 800 verified users, even after the whole "buy-a-bluecheck" scheme.

Prism posted:What's SIP-PES in this context? Can I call them sippies? According to Weiss, SIP-PES was a committee that the CEO, the head of Legal, and the head of Trust and Safety sat on. It was the top arbiter on all content moderation decisions, the last level of appeal. Moderation actions on "politically sensitive" accounts would require their signoff.  In other words, Twitter mods weren't allowed to touch LibsOfTikTok's account without the direct approval of the CEO, the head mod, and the head lawyer.

"Reporters" is a generous title for the people involved with this. Bari couldn't even keep an opinion column position at the NYT and Taibbi has been crying about "cancel culture" for the last few years. It's more like the person who writes "To the Editor" letters to their local newspaper got access to millions of accounts/DMs so they can settle every grudge they have against "them".
