Of course, the people whose lies & provocations prompted the riots remain active on the platform owned by Elon Musk. Even, I think, people whose posts were judged to have broken our law.

I haven’t been over there since Nov 6. Are there still a lot of nice people who should know better (but are understandably a bit scared of jumping ship, as we all were,) still there, or is it wall to wall Nazi memorabilia now?
Seditio. E.g. "vulgus et plures seditionibus et ambitioso imperio laeti per turbas et raptus facilius ad civile bellum impellerentur" (Tacitus)
("the great mass delighted in riot and in an empire resting on popularity, and could be most easily urged to civil war by indulgence in tumult and rapine")
It's an incredibly depressing and anxiety provoking time. Even the Torygraph have tried defending the sieg heil (not just once, but twice) that Musk threw on stage as a "Roman salute"...
Twitter / X is complicit in the destruction of societal norms of decency and respect.
I left X before christmas and have felt the benefit in my mental health.
Has Germany commented on the inauguration? Do they want a platform in their country owned and run by someone who throws Nazi salutes from the stage? US Nazi leaders have said they were Nazi salutes - “showing the country is back on track”
I very much hope that MI5/MI6 are doing their job.
Thugs on the streets of UK are brainless pawns BUT they are being directed by 'assets' and terrorists at home and abroad.
They threaten us by attempting to destabilise our Democratically elected Government.
Search back and ask yourself how much use were our Security Services in preventing Russian and external (Facebook) interference in the Referendum? They are controlled by our bent Politicians.
So I presume they must now be all over Facebook as well, given Mark has also altered the algorithms like Musk or faces jail by Trump. Mark is also a repeat offender. Facebook data dump meddling by Cambridge Analytica was a test case for Brexit to show what can be done with the power of a platform.
Look on the bright side.
Trump has exploded the delusion that the USA occupies the moral high ground and is the exemplar of democracy.
Also the Myth that there is or ever has been a Special Relationship between the USA and the UK. We must now get on with the reality and recover our place in the EU
And they will remain in their echo chamber reinforcing their shared opinions. I used to think this was a bad thing. However, given that they’re not going to change, I’m prepared to leave them to it.
Anyone still maintaining an "X" account needs to have a good think about how they're going to excuse themselves further down the line. They can't claim to have "only been following orders".
It will be interesting to see how that platform's role in the riots is revealed in the enquiry. Listening to shadow Home Sec this am he's keen to hear about the aftermath & it's handling which includes the role of social media.
Apparently X recently updated their T&C's to say that the final say of legality issues on X will be processed by a judge in a specific court in America, the residing judge has shares in Tesla. X is a harbour for misfits and rogues now, it's the Cantina Bar of social media without the cool music.
Let’s hope so, especially after yesterday.
I stuck it out a bit longer than I should have but now seems like the right time to pull the plug. Was getting so depressing and infuriating seeing all the drivel being spread around on it.
I understand that there was a period of time where staying so as to “not have lost the fight” felt like the right thing to do. But it’s gone too far now and number of active daily uses, for or against, only empowers him.
So, about time our govt removed all official sites from the platform then?
Why are they still on there? Perhaps you could call someone in your Rolodex and ask them why they are still on a hate fuelled site run by a bloke who gives Nazi salutes?

What have the Roman riots ever done for us?
😜

*And Brussels, London and the USA

They know what a nazi salute looks like.

I was happy to see that The Guardian have left.
