Social media has become an integral part of our daily lives, and Twitter is one of the most popular platforms for sharing news and opinions. While Twitter can be a great source of information, it's important to remember that not everything you see on Twitter is true or accurate.

Twitter is a platform that allows anyone to post anything they want, regardless of whether it's true or not. It's easy for misinformation and rumors to spread quickly on Twitter, especially if they're controversial or sensational. That's why it's crucial to fact-check information before accepting it as true.

Here are some tips for avoiding misinformation on Twitter:

1 Verify the source: Check the source of the information and make sure it's from a credible and reputable source. Look for articles from established news outlets or sources with a track record of accuracy.

2 Look for multiple sources: If you see a news story or rumor on Twitter, check other sources to see if they're reporting the same information. If you can't find any other sources, it's possible that the information is false or unverified.

3 Check the date: Sometimes old news stories or outdated information can resurface on Twitter, so make sure to check the date of the post or article before sharing it.

4 Use common sense: If something seems too good (or too bad) to be true, it probably is. Use your critical thinking skills and approach information with a healthy dose of skepticism.

In conclusion, while Twitter can be a valuable source of information, it's important to be cautious and skeptical of what you see. Don't believe everything you read on Twitter, and always fact-check information before accepting it as true. By being mindful of the information you consume, you can help stop the spread of misinformation on social media.

this is sage advice and should be in the op imo

Unless you're a german citizen who was over 18 in the 1930's this would be illegal, and therefore as wrong as using violence to stop the nazis

I would never use violence; obviously I’d go far enough back to be a German citizen of legal voting age. doing things right is important.

parag whatshisname is suing twitter because they haven't been covering his legal bills

https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2023/04/ex-twitter-ceo-who-was-fired-by-musk-sues-company-over-unpaid-legal-expenses/

quote:

Former Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal and two other ex-executives sued the company today, saying they haven't been reimbursed for over $1 million in expenses related to federal investigations and other legal matters. The lawsuit said former executives had to respond to investigations launched by the Securities and Exchange Commission and Department of Justice, and requested "an expedited ruling requiring Defendant to comply with its obligations to advance legal fees and expenses relating to ongoing litigation and investigations."

Twitter "has breached its obligations... by refusing to advance Plaintiffs' Expenses," according to the lawsuit, which was filed in the Delaware Court of Chancery and reported by The New York Times. The plaintiffs "have incurred significant expenses, including but not limited to attorneys' fees and costs, in connection with several proceedings," the lawsuit said.

The lawsuit against Twitter was filed by Agrawal, former Chief Legal Officer Vijaya Gadde, and former Chief Financial Officer Ned Segal, all of whom were fired by current CEO Elon Musk right after he bought Twitter in October 2022. Musk reportedly fired the executives "for cause" in a possible attempt to avoid paying golden parachute deals.

An attorney for Agrawal, Gadde, and Segal provided Twitter an invoice for legal expenses "which reasonably evidence that Plaintiffs have incurred Expenses in excess of $1 million, all of which is required to be advanced to Plaintiffs," the lawsuit filed today said.

The lawsuit seeks an order requiring Twitter to advance all expenses the plaintiffs have incurred so far. Plaintiffs also want reimbursement for expenses incurred while suing Twitter to get reimbursement for the earlier expenses and an order "declaring that Plaintiffs are entitled to advancement of any future attorneys' fees, costs, and expenses incurred in connection with the Proceedings."

Twitter's bylaws and agreements with executives require it "to indemnify Plaintiffs and advance all Expenses incurred in connection with any Proceeding in which Plaintiffs are involved by reason of their Corporate Status," the lawsuit said. The bylaws say that payments are to be made by Twitter "in advance of the final disposition" of each proceeding, and would have to be repaid to Twitter if it turns out the executives aren't entitled to indemnification.

if the twitter files are correct and the deep state successfully infiltrated twitter years ago, then the twitter files themselves are deep state messaging, which explains why they iced out taibbi once they were done with him. interested to see how they handle lee

My read would be that Fang probably already started writing that story as soon as it happened and didn't see any reason to dumpster his piece, doubtful that a dogged defense of the Twitter Files will win him any Musk points. Musk's promotion of the Twitter files through his own tweets and retweets tapered off long before Fang even joined the team. 50/50 Whether Musk chose this moment to toss Taibbi and ShellyMD because of some dumb plan to steal substack's business or if he's just using that as a convenient excuse to get rid of the Twitter Files.

This sentiment is exactly why the Twitter files is so utterly important. You misunderstood the entire thing.

The deep state *wants* you to think that Elon Musk is doing what the deep state is telling him to do so you'll just reject him completely instead of actually trying to listen to what he is saying.

this post sounds exactly like what the deep state would post if they knew somebody (me) was getting too close to the truth
