Well, Musk certainly lowered the collective IQ of Twitter.

That doesn’t seem like a story.

And then twitter held off on allowing discussion around the laptop until it could be verified as accurate. This again doesn’t seem problematic.

What am I missing?
This is a decent synopsis

using the word decent and two video clips of Tucker Carlson in the same post is all kinds of hilarious. I don't want to live on this planet anymore

Hahahaha. Using anything with Glenn Greenwald in it as support of "journalism" and "disclosure of truth" is just hilarious. Greenwald became a Russian asset and a disinformation agent during his involvement with Edward Snowden.

So if I got this right, a private citizen asked a private company not to publish something and the private company deliberated about posting potentially hacked material and decided not to. You literally never respond to being called out, so I'm not expecting a response here, but again, what's the scandal?

Since this is such a scandal, why can't it be easily communicated what has supposedly happened? We've had what, 3 or so pages on this, including posts from each side, e.g. Yoho, with his/her preferred source, and yet....

Here we are. With well, I'm not really sure honestly. Not much of anything.

Sigh.

You should provide a summary or an article . Videos are a terrible and slow way of communicating a point. And just dropping them without comment is a waste of everyone’s time.

And the tweeted points miss the How the DNC violated rights by asking Twitter to remove damaging info a practice many people and companies do.

What do you find unethical here?

I woke up this morning and read back a bit in this thread. To be honest, it really sums up well that mindset of guys like Yoho.

To unilaterally jump on any non-story claiming a conspiracy, despite clearly not understanding the most basic parts of that story (ie. First amendment, private company/citizens) as proof that they are on the right track or right side of history. Posting random links of right wing shills as evidence of said conspiracies (lol Tucker Carlson).

FBI raid? Seriously Yoho? Get a grip.

Look at this way, it is NOT a violation of your First Amendment rights if Twitter refuses to allow stolen naked pictures of my wife to be published.

This is not a difficult concept.

I would invite a response, but I know that's not your style.

The problem is, they bathe in media sources that are known for inaccuracies and distortion. It's not a secret. So their views are shaped by misinformation that they believe to be true, because it is repeated across all their sources. What really gets me is that they know these sources are misleading, yet they still make the conscious choice to believe it. I really don't understand why you would choose to be made a fool of, over and over again.

He's not a serious person. Enjoy his posts for what they are, a window into life after a lobotomy. Have a chuckle and move on.

So the only actual democrat officials involved were actually reaching out to Twitter going “wtf are you guys doing?”

Doesn’t seem like a free speech violation.

no you don't get it, it's huge. HUGE! Tucker and friends say so, after all.

they've basically just replaced "but but but Hillarys emails" with "but but but Hunters laptop". This is going to be their go-to whataboutism for 2024, because they have literally nothing else.

These deleted posts were also evidently naked photos of hunter Biden. I assume even now twitter doesn't allow you to post other people's nude photos without their permission

Can we all just come together and agree that we, as a society, need to get Tucker Carlson and that PharmaBro dude in a room together?

And then we need to weld that room shut from the outside and nuke it from Orbit.

Can we agree on that?

I feel like I get dumber every time I click on this thread but I just can’t…. Not… click on it. The problem is with me, of course, ultimately.
