Papercut posted:I don't think Twitter was ever valued at $44 billion? That's just what Elon godfather offered at for whatever stupid reasons he had. Which is specifically why the Twitter board raced to solidify the deal before he sobered up - there was no conceivable way even to cook the books and come out with that number. When you're offered a vastly excessive amount of money for your asset by a buffoon, you say yes.

Everybody's said everything important about the particular situation, but I'd like to note that policy bodycam privacy concerns aren't entirely offbase, they're just abused for cop corruption. We really would prefer for the lapels of people who routinely barge into private yards, houses, and bedrooms to maybe not be 100% public all the time. obviously the nypd using delaying tactics for another angle of deliberate police brutality does not so much fall into that category

Mercury_Storm posted:Why the gently caress are Apple and IBM still advertising on xitter at all. I can kind of get Xfinity because it's hard to think of a more publicly hated company. because there are still twitter users that don't share our opinion of it as long as you're getting a good price and not actively damaging your brand (which in this case has much more to do with the placement of the ads than with Elon tweets) why wouldn't you?

Their core complaint is that Media Matters used Twitter in an atypical way in order to deliberately cause ads to appear next to antisemitic posts more often than they would organically Texas actually has one of the strongest anti SLAPP laws in the country... but lawyers following the suit are saying Musk is filing in a way specifically to dodge it (by starting in federal court iirc?[.

mawarannahr posted:Can't it be sold to a buyer outside the US? I could not find the verbiage in the bill, but several articles I read a few days ago stated that it must be sold to a US buyer. Is this actually true, and if so, on what basis would, say, a Saudi buyer be disallowed from owning it? It only applies to "foreign adversary" countries. You can Ctrl f the tiktok divestment bill (https://www.congress.gov/bill/118th-congress/house-bill/7521/text) for the clause citation to where those are defined, but it's currently apparently: China, Iran, Cuba, North Korea, Russia, Venezuela. So yeah, a Saudi monarchy associated corp could probably buy it. Or a wealthy Vietnamese communist.

koolkal posted:The main way this bill succeeds is if it is on the grounds of Tiktok being a national security threat since it's owned and controlled by a foreign enemy (China). That is, in fact, the official legal language in the bill. There just aren't any other significant social media networks whose corporation is beholden to a... uh, lemme check the language. Foreign adversaries, with a particular notation for Bytedance/tiktok to make it ever so slightly harder to litigate. Current countries: (1) The People's Republic of China, including the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (China); (2) Republic of Cuba (Cuba); (3) Islamic Republic of Iran (Iran); (4) Democratic People's Republic of Korea (North Korea); (5) Russian Federation (Russia); and (6) Venezuelan politician Nicolás Maduro (Maduro Regime). with the possible exception of Russia I rather doubt there are any other relevant social media platforms at all, never mind large ones; there might be some Russian-owned webforum out there that could be caught in the net e: oops mistook which thread i was in and apparently I posted this last page basically reignonyourparade posted:Looking forward to the forced divestment of LiveJournal oooo yeah if anybody cared about livejournal i think they might actually be in the crosshairs Goatse James Bond fucked around with this message at 02:40 on May 9, 2024 |
