Morning "cm", think so?

I myself, as programmer from the 70's and paper tape, still processing the data, more over?

The Timing, of why and WHO REALLY? Drug this on up until just before the election, and then have just 7 days?

Seems like some-controlling entity, took him and drug this out in court?

So, really not sure if he is killing it, just having to expedite things, that should have been done long ago?

We'll see

Disclosure?

I don't have a T acct, nor never a post ever

A site like Twitter started off as a FREE SPEECH platform. That means ANYONE can have their say as long as it is not in Violation of a Federal or State Law.

If Poster 1 doesn't like what Poster 2 says then Poster 1 can Ignore it or make their own reply, etc, etc, etc ....

But as has been BLATANTLY OBVIOUS with the way Twitter was run, is that IF the "management" of Twitter did not like or agree with what a Poster said then the "management" of Twitter would "censor"/"remove" that Poster from Twitter, which is then Twitter acting like a "Publisher" which is in direct contradiction of Section 230 ......



From what I've seen and read since Elon Musk has owned Twitter, is that he wants to return Twitter to that original Open, Free Speech Platform where it is of no consequence as to whether or not you are Left of Centre or Right of Centre, you are free to have your say with no "Censorial Consequences".

Personally I fail to see why anyone would have a problem with it ............ And if anyone did, then they are obviously free to post somewhere else and take no part on Twitter ......

Let's wait until the dust settles and see what happens, eh?

I'm all for more even content moderation of all social media, or they should die quickly and fade away into oblivion if they don't, going the way of the dinosaurs into extinction. Friendster, anyone?

Once the U.S. Government finally brings the hammer down on the CDA and its stipulation giving immunity to companies hosting websites with no responsibilities for what idiots using them post, it'll be the largest sea change in Internet history in my mind, and I'm counting the days until it happens.

Any moral and decent human being should wish for the same.

Deleted. Even though it was about the impact on SI, it still involves politics and so this is the wrong thread for it.
