I've seen much better sites than twitter such as Gab and Bitchute as they are more of a friend to both your average right winger and white nationalist than sites like twitter. Didn't facebook change it's name to meta? looking at how bad he is you may as well be right about the guy that replaces dorsey as he turns out to be more communist than dorsey himself.

I think this says it all. They intend to decide who can be heard, and who can't, even moreso than they do now.

Disgusts me to no end how our bootlicking countrymen on the other side of the political spectrum have allowed internet freedom to get gangbanged for half a decade in their name. That was a treasure that isn't easily coming back and they just pissed it away for nothing.

If Google, Twitter, and the rest of the tech companies claimed to be putting the internet under an iron curtain to make it a more MAGA place, you can bet your ass I would never shut up about it, let alone cheer for it.

In the high profile stories of Sandmann and Rittenhouse they were exonerated by authentic video footage that perforated on twitter hours after their stories became big media stories. Sandmann in particular had no other way to be saved other than by internet anons with the full story. News outlets like CNN were caught selectively editing footage about cases other than this because, again, the authentic video footage shared by ordinary users exposed them. The corporate press and their puppet masters will not allow another Rittenhouse to escape their clutches by virtue of citizen journalism.

This is day 1 of the new CEO. Don't think i'll be using that site as a resource much longer. They continue to take more and more ways to hold them accountable away from the public.

Not to mention, this is like 80% of memes. Did you have Drake's permission to post that reaction meme? Banned. But we all know that this will be selectively enforced to ensure nobody can expose the lies of the regime.

Do you have a source?

I have found this, which is associated with people banning sharing of images of individuals. This is more in line with hindering cancel culture.

Certainly nothing to do with getting permission from mainstream media.

The official policy link is below, and this is a direct quote from what i'm talking about.

This is them directly referencing cases like the ones I mentioned where footage shared by ordinary users saves a persons life or reputation, but here's my problem. In those cases, mainstream media didn't share the footage. Only after the fact, when those videos already existed and were gaining traction, were they forced to mention anything about them. When mainstream media selectively edits footage they do so deliberately. All it takes is for the person speaking to not want to be exposed for calling for violence and under Twitter's policy this malicious and deliberate lie becomes official truth you are not allowed to question, and offering the truth up as evidence becomes a bannable offense.

Expanding our private information policy to include media (twitter.com)

We recognize that there are instances where account holders may share images or videos of private individuals in an effort to help someone involved in a crisis situation, such as in the aftermath of a violent event, or as part of a newsworthy event due to public interest value, and this might outweigh the safety risks to a person.

We will always try to assess the context in which the content is shared and, in such cases, we may allow the images or videos to remain on the service. For instance, we would take into consideration whether the image is publicly available and/or is being covered by mainstream/traditional media (newspapers, TV channels, online news sites), or if a particular image and the accompanying tweet text adds value to the public discourse, is being shared in public interest, or is relevant to the community.

I think you’re interpreting that policy change blog differently than me, since the key item is

”There are growing concerns about the misuse of media and information that is not available elsewhere online as a tool to harass, intimidate, and reveal the identities of individuals. Sharing personal media, such as images or videos, can potentially violate a person’s privacy, and may lead to emotional or physical harm.”

Also

“While our existing policies and Twitter Rulescover explicit instances of abusive behavior, this update will allow us to take action on media that is shared without any explicit abusive content, provided it’s posted without the consent of the person depicted.”

In the scenario you’re suggesting where it’s an individual’s life or reputation at stake (I.e. cancel culture) it’s not mainstream media but the individual themselves who decide whether it should be taken down.

This policy is against cancel culture.

But honestly, how do you feel about it? In my opinion, I’m glad that dude left. He looks like a goddamn drifter, and he also banned my account >:(.
But in all seriousness, he’s made a ton of stupid things, and I think the company might be better off without it. Who knows, Tom might buy it out and dissolve it, just like Jack did with Vine.co. It’s the internet, you never know.

What’s your opinion? Are you glad he’s gone, or do you think the company will go belly up without him?

Postscript:
Also, Ironic tweet.
