Thankfully I never started using it enough to care about deleting my account.
My wife on the other hand… 🙃
The fact that we have so much of our politics in a private company is dangerous.
Musk has the power AND ability to post tweets as if they were from any of the candidates.
Not as a sock puppet. But as them directly.
This is a dangerous ability.
I hadn’t considered that. He couldn’t get away with it now, but if the orange bad gets back into power and we go full-fash, I definitely think it’d be used against “enemies.”
He very much could get away with it now. None of the candidates, as far as I’m aware, have a public key published and none of them have any way of verifying that the tweet is from the account holder.
Sure a tweet from Kamala saying, “I believe we should execute all illegals” might be an easy one.
But think of this more subtle tweet: “The United States believes in the sovereignty of all recognized nations.”
We need our politicians to stop using Twitter for official communications.
is this legal in US? that sounds absurd.
and is it legal for a judge to be involved in business?
Legal for the judge to be involved in a business yes. Not ethical for the judge to make rulings about that business but that requires ethics and morals and thanks to Rs even the US Supreme Court doesn’t have that.
Below scotus level theoretically judges can censure other judges but idk that process.
and thanks to Rs even the US Supreme Court doesn’t have that.
This is why it’s so vital to vote. Trump nominated (and got elected) six of the seventeen Fifth Circuit members, the most of any president from Reagan onward for that particular court. GW Bush and Reagan nominated five combined.
The president we elect will get to essentially decide who gets to be in which federal court. So much is at stake, as the judiciary threatens to rot from the top down.
The 3 Supreme Court appointments Trump got (ACB, Kavanaugh, Gorsuch)in his one term was also just shy of Reagan’s 4 (william rehnquist to chief, Sandra day O’Connor, Antonin Scalia, and Anthony Kennedy). Bush jr replaced rehnquist and Sandra with current shitstains John Roberts, and Samuel Alito.
'member checks and balances? America sure doesn’t.
This is the US we’re talking about; if you’ve clicked the EULA, it’s probably legal for the X janitor to kill you and wear your face as a mask.
Worry about that later. There aren’t any consequences for this guy anymore, why should he fuss over legality? If shit gets real ugly just buy a president.
There’s a common thing known as “judge shopping”. The big wigs and those with enough money can ensure that a trial goes to a court in an area that is likely to be favorable to their interests.
For example, if a company is going to court because of something environmental or anti-worker, they’ll try to get the court session held in a conservative jurisdiction.
Some judges are elected some are appointed.
LOL I hope someone destroys Twitter and he goes bankrupt.
I hope someone destroys Twitter
Melon Husk is trying his hardest to make that happen. For some reason people are still using it though.
But my friends are all on there! —The excuse I hear most often
The other one is:
I’m still on there to throw sand into the gears of the alt-right propaganda machine.
As if the literal dictator of the platform is scared of some mean tweets. SMH
I saw something a couple days ago where someone said they tried switching to Mastodon but they missed their thousands of followers from Twitter.
It’s like, have a fucking backbone. Someone has to lead the way.
For real. If they have that many followers, they should tell the followers to move with them, ffs. Tell them which instance you’re joining, and while I bet they’d lose some, they’d probably succeed in moving a sizeable portion, and those people would be their real fans anyway.
Considering how many mean tweets he’s just blocked people for or erased, he apparently is?
He’s not, or he’d change his behavior. As it stands, he can unilaterally ban anyone for any reason, real or imagined.
Him banning or blocking people isn’t fear, it’s a demonstration of power.
Seems like a reasonable state for steer lawsuits
I would like to steer all my lawsuits to Interdimensionella where all plaintiffs are summarily executed on the spot.
I’d steer all the lawsuits to /dev/null instead.
That’s not how that works, Rat.
The law works the way I pay it to.

Please don’t insult the rats, they’re good little critters
The article cited multiple Supreme Court cases that establish precedent, so it just might be how it works.
Don’t ever let conservatives tell you they don’t appreciate fashion. The pride they take in their heels and hats are telling.
It’s a fucking shame that he has more money than god and couldn’t get someone to help him pick out a cowboy hat that would fit his face. Or tell him when it’s backwards. Or have it properly shaped. Or have it customized in any way.
I have no issue with someone wearing a cowboy hat who has never been near a ranch. I have no issue with people who don’t know what to do with one but want to wear one. They’re practical and can be stylish. I have a huge issue with someone who can afford to have an army of image consultants wearing it incorrectly to pander to idiots who are too cowardly to call him out on it.
