Strong stroll for a mangy stray
Personally I can't wait until driverless cars passing by in the street are filming everything I do, selling my location and face scan to the highest bidder, running over motorcyclists on dark nights and randomly stopping in the middle of the street when the mobile bandwidth decreases. Assuming they aren't currently causing pileups because a paper bag floated across the freeway.

Self driving cars are great in theory. But they aren't even close to being at the level they need to be. And likely won't be for years, or decades or possibly forever. Despite how bad human drivers CAN be, most of them are in fact pretty good. The average driver files a claim for auto collision once every 18 years. And fatal accidents occur about every 100 million miles, which is a lot of miles. Currently there is no proof that driverless cars can do better than that. I don't necessarily love driving, but I definitely don't love the idea of spending tons of time inside a phone, being more surveilled, and having my personal data sold and potentially used against me in court. And as a motorcycle rider, they actually scare me because they just might think that my taillight is either the moon or a red light half a mile ahead and plow into me from behind, snapping my spine and killing me instantly

The amount of ridiculousness that has happened since those driverless taxis were set loose in San Francisco is incredible.

This lovely website has no idea what it wants to be apart from 'everything'.

But it's funny that none of these added features actually do anything to improve the site and most of them actively hurt it. They should maybe realize that most people don't WANT one single massive web app to do everything for them and own all their data. It's disturbing and takes away from the one thing Twitter was actually good at, sharing news and information and short thoughts.

deleting (as mentioned, not really deleting) evidence that someone's a racist piece of poo poo who loves Elon isn't a thing because nobody is on trial for being a racist piece of poo poo who loves Elon

It is still illegal to purposefully destroy evidence that investigators will request, a felony. They removed the interactions from his profile record to keep the activity out of preservation and away from investigators and the courts.

Like, 20 people have been murdered, investigators are going to subpoena his profile from twitter and the provided profile may be relied on in following court cases. On learning this, 50 records of the murderer interacting with Musk, agreeing with Musk's racist statements, were removed - immediately before preservation. This removal was not a logged action done by the user but via twitter administration itself. This removal was done to keep the activity out of any courts' view, as the profile given to investigators will be the profile state at the time of preservation.

It doesn't matter that investigators and courts may not have used these particular records of the murderer agreeing with Musk's statements, a complete record needed to be preserved and provided, it is not for Musk to decide the relevance of the murderer's activity. I really do feel like he has commited a clear crime in an attempt to limit his liability.

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 know if much of those tweets would actually be evidence in this case, but the whole concept of preserving digital evidence in cases like this is a problem in general.

Apparently when congress passed that law that forced Craigslist to delete its sex ads it scuttled a bunch of human trafficking cases due to vanishing evidence. I think the FBI shutting down backpage also caused similar problems.

It's pretty standard for social media to take down posts by mass shooters. I can't think of any where that wasn't done.

Yeah suspending the account is standard. The foul play is all of the pruning Elon either did himself or had somebody do before the account was suspended.

What's not standard is this part:

quote:

It's standard to ban the account, hide everything from the public and have a preserved record available for law enforcement. Allegedly what has been observed is specific actions were deleted prior to the preservation step.

It's certainly possible that the preservation included the alleged deleted actions - perhaps it was ongoing when the source noticed it and thanks to twitter's stack being poo poo these days some actions were still viewable for a while longer. Either way it is unlikely to be actionable evidence and the only value to deleting it would now be overturned by the Streisand effect.
