I love our social tendency to just ignore causality when it's fun

"FTC announces diversity program"
that same morning: plane crash
"Woke causes disasters :byodood:"

Like instantly getting flooded with spam promotions for TRUMPCARE on November 7 2016, and BIDENCARE on November 7 2020

Or everybody saying Twitter was running better the day after Elon bought it

It's extremely weird to me that they're acting like video calls, a feature phones and messaging apps have had available for like a decade or more now, is some kind of game changer for Twitter. Like, what advantages would I gain in using their broken website's video call feature over the one provided by Facebook Messenger, or just my basic rear end phone itself?

Not only is it not much of a differentiator, but nowadays, unless you enter the realm of 6-way or more vidcon, that feature is trivial to implement. It's practically just a standard web API (WebRTC) that you configure, enable, and do a tiny bit of visual design around. Celebrating that as a large achievement is down right pathetic.

I've got a toy virtual table top app that I futz with to play with friends, and adding vidcon took me all of an afternoon.

At what point would this cross into legally actionable tampering with evidence? Like, his first directive after hearing that 20 people were murdered was to use his control over twitter to destroy any evidence which could possibly be incriminating before preserving the account.

Doing this rather then just suspending and preserving it seems like a clear attempt to interfere with the court and investigators, investigators receiving the shooters history on the platform will receive a deliberately scrubbed account without any indication that the account has been tampered with.

I don't think this is actually tampering with the evidence - all content deleted by twitter is just made private, to my knowledge. I think if the feds come knocking they have an untouched back-up to hand over. Otherwise he would be on the hook, yeah.

Huh, on one account, it was set to on, but with “users you follow” set.

On the other, it’s missing entirely. And it reset my DM setting back to “verified only.”

Plane took off without clearance from ATC so not really sure what diversity has to do with it. Did he expect the controller to run out to the runway and physically stop the plane? Is that a super power white people have?
