Listening to Crowder this morning and this guy (new CEO) may be crazier and more radical that the bearded nutcase now. | |||

[sarc on]Let's hope the new CEO can do as good a job of censoring and shadow banning us conservatives as the old one did...[/sarc off] | |||

A common theme now. Continually growing in volume and scope. BLM, CRT, antifa, Twitter, universities, major corporations, the Democrat Party - white people are racists. These are dangerous times. | |||

And the same tools will continue to use Twitter despite this. And if all white people are racists - why are there so many of them working in Washington? | |||

In case you are wondering "What does this mean?" It means Twitter, by policy, will now selectively censor videos - this is being done to prevent people from posting videos of rioters, looters and other criminals who could be identified by law enforcement. BLM and ANTIFA go to great lengths to hide their identity. This policy is being enacted specifically to shut down people like Andy Ngo who expose them. https://blog.twitter.com/en_us...mation-policy-update “Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passions, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence.” - John Adams | |||

I just can't get excited about this. Never been on Twitter and I've never heard a friend say I ought to sign up. Never used Square. Twitter can do whatever they want. They're not the gov't. They don't owe anyone anything other than a good return to their shareholders. I really wish they had no non-publisher protections, but that's due to Congress's spinelessness. I don't think anything that happens with Twitter will affect my life in any way. | |||

I was an enthusiastic user of Twitter for many years, but I deleted my account after they banned Trump, not necessarily because I needed to read his tweets every day, but because I wouldn't support a company with so much inherent bias and lack of commitment to the free flow of ideas. If Twitter disappeared tomorrow I wouldn't notice or care. | |||

I deleted my Twitter account long before they banned President Trump. I saw the direction it was clearly headed. I refused to be a party to it. "America is at that awkward stage.

I never joined and never will, and you know why? Twitter seems to be the FASTEST way to get yourself fired these days. People with 30 and 40 year careers are finding themselves out of a job after posting ONE unapproved or incorrect tweet. Hell, even RE-TWEETING something that someone else said that is not politically approved will get you the boot from your job. NOPE | |||

Maybe he's ditching he money losing waste of time startup (Twitter), for the one that actually makes money (Square.) He's probably better off now.

Dorsey knows, in the not too distant future, the heat on social media will be so great that the .gov will move to have each company either broken up (like Ma'Bell) or, the landscape will become highly regulated. He's got more money than he knows what to do with it, I've heard his participation at board meetings (to include his chair at Disney) over the last several years has been nominal; leaving now he can put distance in his involvement when the investigations comes. Meanwhile, like other crazy wealthy people, he's got other irons in the fire... | |||

Uh, have you looked at Squares financials lately? I don't think he's doing much there either. Let's not forget it was only a year or so ago that Twitter's board tried to force Dorsey out. And Wall Street has made it abundantly clear they like Twitter without Dorsey a whole lot more than with him. As Crowder noted, nothing is going to change there. If anything, it may even get worse. ----------------------------- Guns are awesome because they shoot solid lead freedom. Every man should have several guns.

If I were ever in the position to found something and be fast rich, Steve Wozniak would be my model. Get enough money and get out to pursue life. Trump once said that anything you make past $30M is just ego. I agree, and would use that money to buy my freedom to do whatever I want. Perhaps this Dorsey douche is doing the same. Wozniak is worth somewhere around $100M, while Jobs was worth $10B when he died. I'd bet that Wozniak lived a more fulfilling life than Jobs, at least by my standards of happiness and freedom.

What the hell? This woke new "The First Amendment doesn't apply to us" CEO is already making big changes. How would they even enforce this? Well we know how they will; by enforcing it for conservatives and allowing leftists to do whatever the hell they want as usual: From a Twitter thread:
Link Twitter’s policy change sent shockwaves through social media, with many sounding the alarm that this could be the final death nail in their coffin when it comes to the platform shutting their account down for good with the new rule. As they do with every other Bolshevik anti-free-speech policy, the platform will certainly use the new ban on private individual media to further a radical left-wing agenda. It’s only a matter of time until they start pulling down videos of violent BLM or Antifa riots and begin censoring conservative media outlets who are working as investigative journalists – a la Project Veritas. | |||

They're vastly better than Twitter. A basic stock quote is showing $1 EPS for share vs a loss of Twitter. Looking in more detail, the last full quarter was bad. Before that was okay.
