so...it's erasing all content mentioning what israel is doing to palestine, i'm assuming?

Is this a post supporting censoring the genocide of Palestinians? Because it sure reads that way.

Yes, the new EU internet censorship law lets them ban "disinformation" from social media. Disinformation in this case means support for Palestine.

Not something to be optimistic about IMO.

https://www.marketwatch.com/story/a-vermont-man-duped-tesla-into-giving-him-five-cars-for-free-now-hes-headed-to-prison-ffc173fe

quote:

Prosecutors said Gonzalez first hit upon his scheme in September 2018, when he placed an order on Tesla’s website for a $58,000 Model 3. Gonzalez made a deposit of $2,500, and when the car was ready for delivery the next month, he provided Tesla with bank information for accounts that didn’t have enough money to cover the balance.

Tesla nonetheless delivered the vehicle to Gonzalez in Vermont and gave him a certificate of ownership, which allowed him to obtain the car’s title and register it with the Vermont department of motor vehicles. A week later, Tesla received notice that Gonzalez’s account had insufficient funds to complete the transaction.

By the end of December, prosecutors said, Gonzalez had sold the vehicle to a used-car dealer for $42,000.

Over the following year, prosecutors said Gonzalez repeated the scheme four more times, each time for a Model X worth around $150,000. In two cases, he entered the name of a girlfriend or ex-girlfriend as the buyer instead of his own, according to court papers. He was able to sell two of the cars on Craigslist and eBay for $108,000 and $97,000, respectively.

quote:

In one case, Tesla did not provide Gonzalez with a certificate of ownership, which made it impossible for him to title or resell the car. So he drove the vehicle onto a frozen part of Lake Champlain, purportedly to go ice fishing, and set it on fire, prosecutors said.

He later filed an insurance claim, but given the unusual circumstances of the incident, the insurance company asked Gonzalez to come for an in-person “examination under oath,” during which he was required to produce the vehicle’s title. Gonzalez failed to appear for the interview, according to court documents.

In his final attempt to steal a Model X, prosecutors said that Gonzalez sped away from the men who had been sent to repossess the car, nearly hitting one of them. He then stashed the car in a storage unit in Vermont.

quote:

While in detention, prosecutors said, Gonzalez was recorded telling his girlfriend over the phone about where the car was hidden and about his intent to sell it when he got out of custody. Upon his release, he moved to sell the car to a buyer in New Hampshire, but police were able to intercept it as it was being delivered.

No most of the time the car goes off screen and then there's a loud boom noise. Sometimes a bit of smoke might float by.

The only thing that will eventually kill Twitter is if the competitors can get reliable news and useful info on other sites and so far that just isn't the case. But a full paywall might just be enough to get those good posters to leave for real.
