  • Twitter is planning to start charging $20 per month for verification

    From theverge.com

    Now that he owns Twitter, Elon Musk has given employees their first ultimatum: Meet his deadline to introduce paid verification on Twitter or pack up and leave. The directive is to change Twitter Blue, the company’s optional, $4.99 a month subscription that unlocks additional features, into a more expensive subscription that also verifies users, according to people familiar with the matter and internal correspondence seen by The Verge. Twitter is currently planning to charge $19.99 for the new Twitter Blue subscription. Under the current plan, verified users would have 90 days to subscribe or lose their blue ... (full story)

"Left-Wing EU Commissioner Warns Musk, "The Bird Will Fly By Our Rules""
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/...-fly-our-rules
"Musk reportedly has plans to reduce moderation, but such plans may come into conflict with the DSA, which demands platforms partake in what is likely to be aggressive content moderation.

The law is not yet in force, but it is expected to radically restrict free speech in Europe.

“The DSA will be directly applicable across the EU and will apply fifteen months or from 1 January 2024, whichever comes later, after entry into force. As regards the obligations for very large online platforms and very large online search engines, the DSA will apply from an earlier date, that is four months after their designation,” reads the site.

It is unclear what will constitute “hate speech” or “disinformation” or who will be the arbiter of these designations, but for example, the vast majority of fact-checkers working for Facebook in Central and Eastern Europe are funded by billionaire oligarch George Soros, whose money has flowed through nearly every major left-liberal NGO and establishment figure in the West, which means those opposed to mass immigration, restrictions on freedom of speech, or supporters for traditional family values, may find themselves designated as purveyors of “hate speech” and subject to fines or censorship under the DSA"

Freedom of Speech? Bullshit. It radically restricts HATE SPEECH. Freedom of speech is a Right.. and like ALL Rights comes with RESPONSIBILITIES and limitations. Adult World.
I know of no democracy or otherwise civilized country in the world where can you stand in the street and shout slogans and narratives inciting hate and violence against fellow citizens without breaching laws pertaining prevention of public order and "Breach of the Peace".
It is entirely consistent that such civilized societies including those in the EU should extend this principle to Cyberspace.AND ENFORCE IT.
And restrict any media channels that do not manage their streams to prosecute and block any such similar abuses of the Right to Free Speech.

ARTICLE 10
Freedom of expression
1. Everyone has the right to freedom of expression. This right
shall include freedom to hold opinions and to receive and impart
information and ideas without interference by public authority
and regardless of frontiers. This Article shall not prevent States
from requiring the licensing of broadcasting, television or cinema
enterprises.
2. The exercise of these freedoms, since it carries with it
duties and responsibilities, may be subject to such formalities,
conditions, restrictions or penalties as are prescribed by law and
are necessary in a democratic society, in the interests of national
security, territorial integrity or public safety, for the prevention
of disorder or crime, for the protection of health or morals, for
the protection of the reputation or rights of others, for preventing
the disclosure of information received in confidence, or for
maintaining the authority and impartiality of the judiciary.

Dear RossEdwarddss of the Ministry of Truth,
As an example above i hear quoting Zerohedge is hate speech
Please explain how i am inciting hate and violence...

Inserted Video

A German journalist living in eastern Ukraine has been sentenced to three years in prison without trial by the German government for interviewing Ukrainian citizens and reporting her findings.

https://www.zerohedge.com/political/...ges-popularity
"Members of the Social Democrats (SPD) and the Left party (Die Linke) are calling for a ban on the conservative Alternative for Germany (AfD) party just as it surges in the polls, raising fears that Germany, which prides itself on being democratic, will attempt to completely ban one of the largest parties in the country."
"
“The next logical thing then is a ban procedure,” the SPD politician stressed. According to Marx, it would also be possible to ban individual state associations.
“AfD’s hatred and agitation must no longer be equated with democratic freedom of expression.”

I agree with this in principle. On one hand there are laws that do and should restrict freedom of speech (you can't yell "FIRE!!!" in a packed movie theater otherwise panic will cause a stampede). But it seems that when you get on the internet, or social media, those with an entrenched radical agenda have forced their concept of morality (not just sexual but pick any subject that has been attacked) on the regular public. Enter Elon Musk who said one of the main reasons for his purchase of Twitter was because democracy itself was at stake.

Musk Bought Twitter to ensure that by exacerbating divisions in democracy dialogue is diverted from recognising the manipulation of regulation and accountability by entrenched Corporate and financial interests can continue unfettered in the resulting chaos, and division and to gratify his own narcissistic personality needs.

I have..
And I see that NBC News claims that Homeland Security is launching a warning system that looks for signs of domestic terrorist threats in public social network posts.

Since you oppose this I conclude you clearly have no interest in the security of the United states.
No hypocrisy then in supporting draconian measures against foreigners but OK to oppose any sensible steps to safeguard against Domestic Terrorist Threats?

Like perhaps the recent attempted mob overthrow of the American Government on January 6th?

If it's possible for you to set aside your opinion on "Jan 6" , then do you think that a government should be allowed to spy on its citizens and be allowed to act on it ? Even, if somehow the government believes that it's "for the greater good" ? (Perhaps to prevent another "Jan 6" or another "2020 BLM/Antifa riots", or anything that the government perceives as a threat)
If such power is given to a government, how do you then prevent abuses (that I describe in my post and that are real) and the rise of an authoritarian state ?

Do you think that Mall operators and Law enforcement should be allowed to spy on their customer traffic using integrated FRT. Do you think Google should be allowed to assemble detailed tracking profiles of your interests preferences and online browsing habits? Do you think Mark or Elon should have complete records of your private life, attitudes friends family, tastes in music sexual preferences and even food preferences?

Its TOO LATE. While you were obscessed with politics and markets, the tech world was moving on , and big business was reaping the most valuable commercial prize of the millenium Ming. DATA. YOUR DATA.

And now I have to read your protesting the assembly by Government agencies charged to prevent Terrorism of data, which daily saves lives and helps control Domestic Terrorism which is THE single biggest Terrorist Threat to every man woman and child in the country. You make a good point about regulating that collection process. But whos having an intelligent conversation about that? You?
That can only happen with strong democratic institutions. Which the division rampant in the US appears determined to destroy. Checkmate.

It's bad enough that tech corporations collect personal data. It's bad enough that we are ever moving closer to a "social credit score system" -- like people losing their jobs or not getting a job because of "wrongthink"
But my question to you was: should a government be allowed to keep tabs on its citizens and act on the information as they see fit.
Your response that I can make out is: YES
It would seem to me that you are not well informed on the subject of dystopia.

Elon Musk will do what Elon Musk will do. Sink or swim, his life decisions are his own to make.....we should all be so free.

For our part, we are likely to be best off tending to our own business and avoiding the forays created by the zealots.

I love how folk with SFA psychological qualifications throw about pseudoPsycological terms picked up on their Google adventures and replay in serious exchanges. “Mass formation psychosis” is not an academic term recognized in the field of psychology, nor is there evidence of any such phenomenon occurring during the COVID-19 pandemic,. This was the conclusion of multiple authorities in crowd psychology conveyed to a recent Reuters Fact Check.
But Hey you guys just rock on in delusion-land. Inventing conditions and peddling them to folk who couldnt care less anyway.

Exactly the opposite.

Like traitor and conman Dumpy, Elon Musk has a long history of blunt lying, massiv exaggeration. One of his greatest skills is manipulation of public perception of himself, his companies and the products and services they sell - he is a good marketer, maybe manipulator is a more accurate label, but if you just dig a little bit deeper it is absolutly obvious he is not a good engineer and not the genius he claims to be.

He employs good engineers producing results in some of his companies, no doubt about that, but he himself isn't one, not even close, but he loves to claim their work and results as his own, which is ridiculus. Most telling for me was his neuralink white paper..... it tells you all you need to know.

Rates are rising and business models based on deception and promises starting to come under pressure. Musk certainly didn't buy twitter because he is concerned about free speech or democracy. He bought it as a tool for his personal marketing and interface toward his cult like followers. It's essential for him to control this channel.... so much he paid 40 billions for it. He knew its not only essential to him, there are others he could capitalize on massively if he provides such service like the crypto industry, the GOP, Trump and MAGA an all other enterprises that based their business model on lies combined with cheap money.

His actions immediately after his purchase clearly show how he will reshape twitter towards a personal mass programming tool he would so much love to own.

Likely he realized that what he wanted to do with Neuralink is already done much more efficiently with software like Twitter, if it gets completely rid of content moderation. Program the masses with tiny bits of targeted false or misleading pieces of information to manipulate them step by step in an intendented direction. A massive amount of money combined with the reach of twitter in the hands of an other not so stable "genius" is in my opinion a terrible combination and the fallout will be massive if not addressed early on.

The massive deployment of false and misleading information does not help free speech, it kills it in the long run. Same is true if you use satire as a camouflage for lying, gaslighting, manipulation. It's the classic propaganda approach to indirectly suppress free speech by undermining it with so much crap and bullshit in the name of free speech that 30-40 % of a population is severly hindered to differentiate between what is real and true and what is made up and false.

There are enough studies on this topic that show propaganda and manipulation techniques work and can be used to undermine truth and common sense in a significant portion of the public. It is with us since decades, but the speed, the massive reductions in cost through autmatisation, the massive increase in reach and even specific targeting of individuals with individual content and AI makes it much more effecitve.

Therefore it is absolutly necessary that lying to manipulate needs to have conseqences.

There is a huge difference between having an opinion about a topic and lying to manipulate. Those working on this field of manipulation like you Mingy love to claim that restricting the free spreading of lies is harming free speech. It exactly the other way around.

The continous existence of retail forex trading is a good example to prove the point I try to make here. Even if people have direct feedback in their account that what they are doing harms them, they continue to chase the carrots in front of their mouth deployed 24/7 by those who benefit from their stupidity.

Companies that spread lies for money, clicks and attention and monetize on it should be hindered to do so. Their business models have to be changed by regulation and hefty fines that it doesn't pay to deploy such strategies. If democracies fail to do so, they soon will be transformed in autocracies.

In America we will see the results in 2024..... but it will be a global problem.

Looks like TDS is being replaced with MDS... truly hilarious.
On a serious note, some strange behaviors have been reported with people having TDS (rolling on the floor screaming, howling at the sky, loud screeching, and having tourette like symptoms with a sudden burst of nonsense insults)
I dread to imagine what it would be like to have both TDS and MDS, that would be an immediate mental breakdown, reducing the afflicted to a vegetable state.
.. so you be careful now, ok ?
