The FTC, who earlier expressed "alarm" at Elon's actions, are now going straight to "white hot livid" after this. Where was the corporate counsel who could have told Elon this was going to be a horrible mistake?

Oh, Elon fired him for telling him this would be a horrible mistake? Welp.

"shadowbanning" is just a catch-all for any interference in visibility for them. so the "do not show in search" and "do not promote" tags on people counts as shadowbanning

Of course, but hate speech will continue unfettered because of Musk’s galaxy-brain “town square” bullshit which is cover for the fact that he is a friendless dipshit who demands sycophancy. And, boy howdee!! Do the right-wing crazies have that in spades!!

It's funny how none of the people who complained loudest about being "shadowbanned" because their follower counts plateaued show up in this but the one major account there is proof they took steps to de-amplify was still hugely popular in spite of it and it seems to have made basically no difference.

Webrings FTW

Few pages back but I already mentioned earlier in this thread that (in addition to e.g. homebrew operating systems) now homebrew search engines, where people rank the quality of a site using unusual things like "the less javascript to plain text ratio, the better", and playing with that feels like the old internet - and much better than modern Google/DuckDuckGo/Bing. A lot of stuff is on neocities but there's plenty elsewhere, too, and I did in fact find active, modern webrings, weird little badges linking to other sites, and still-updated blogs that are just manually updated HTML.

The main issue is thinking up stuff to search, which is just how "surfing the web" should be.

that tweet was a month ago, it was posted to show that he already said he would do the very thing this big "story" is crying about. and yeah, it was just an excuse to ban people that mock him.

Can't stress enough that Bari comes from the opinion sections of prominent newsrooms. She is not a neutral party, but someone who crafts pieces explicitly around narratives she presumably believes in.

At least Taibbi has credentials. It's bewildering to give her cart blanche and pretend it's objective in any sense.

This is also why Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos divorced their respective wives.

Just checked on this Ella Irwin person and I do not think she's qualified at all to deal with legal, trust or safety issues

quote:

Elon Musk's Twitter appointed executive Ella Irwin as head of trust and safety after her predecessor Yoel Roth quit last week, The Information reported on Thursday.

Irwin initially joined as a vice president of product for health and Twitter services in June this year when current CEO Elon Musk was planning to acquire the social media firm for $44 billion, according to her LinkedIn.
