Recently took a peek at Twitter and the disinformation is getting substantially more dangerous. Someone could get killed.
The tactics of constantly repeating outright lies, targeting specific people, repurposing years-old footage and presenting them as new is getting to another level. It’s scary.

Thats what DOGE is for
Never should something like that be allowed ever again, because we know how it ends...

Vint Cerf designed the TCPIP protocol to be neutral.
Social media promotion algorithms impose a layer of bias on top of that.
"algorithms are *AUTOMATED* curation!" If you curate, you are not a neutral 'town square'

If he places high tariffs on imported goods as he has promised along with deporting all our cheap labor, we will likely roll into a recession.
Hopefully, that will break the spell.

Demoting links hinders corrections to disinformation. Promoting engagement-farming encourages baiting and trolling behavior.
Until Twitter falls completely out of relevance, it is imperative for voices-of-reason to maintain some presence.
The World's richest man is building the world's biggest supercomputer to run AI. He is trying to virally inject us all with his worldview; to inseminate us all.
But the alternative is what?
If he's gonna tweak it, he's gonna tweak it.
Right now, if he has other people doing the tweaking, then he can disclaim responsibility.
WRITE!
There's a dynamic tension - needing credit can get in the way of distribution. The best way to get someone to adopt an idea is for them to think they thought of it!
Less distribution, less chance for impact.
I believe it is possible to help it die faster in a way that reduces damage.
But rather than simply vanishing, I maintain a minimal presence solely to convert more people who want something better.
I updated my bio and display-name in support of that effort:

Don’t forget the social websites that are attached to those three. Threads being one of them. But Threads and BlueSky are not the enemy at all. We need to get Threads detached from Mark Z. Read on next…
It's better to just have unregulated speech, with no government to regulate it.
If the company is sold to a company without such ties, it can continue business as usual. This was all out in the open

The reason Biden was against it was precisely this--it is a major information source with an opaque algorithm that is tweaked to fit the whims of those who control it.
I don't think most Tik Tok users are there for politics, anyway.
THANKS, great work

If you want to to share platform with the likes of Andrew Tate and Tommy Robinson, then X is the place for you. Or Elon Musk who has become a neo-fascistic hero with no attachment to democracy. X is driven by hateful content.

Every post on that fascist machine only strengthens musk.

Trump's proposed plan to mass deport our ~11 million undocumented immigrants mirrors the Nazi's plan to deport ~12 million European Jews to Madagascar.
Note that it only took ~2 years to go from floating this plan to mass-murder.

Its strange how it only mattered in this election.
What's also strange is why defending democracy in Ukraine isnt important, many Americans now want to hand Ukraine to Putin.
For a country that wants to police the world thats very confusing
No one in America cared. They gave him a second term knowing he lied to kill a man his daddy couldnt.
Dont blame the MSM for Americas lack of care. America doesnt care about its own, never mind those elsewhere.
The truth which is suppressed by the MSM.
SM wasnt around when Bush lied about WMD. The truth came out, no one cared. In fact, America voted in that liar again
Just like the US doesnt care that its just voted in a child rapist.
The entire US needs to have a look at itself
White/cis/male privilege allows you to cast a temper-tantrum vote for a spoiler candidate.
Stop your holier-than-thou attitude, please.

The thing is, you do, too, yet you refuse to admit it.
Whining about the past and not taking action will just mean more Gazan kids dying, on top of millions of Americans dying, too.
Over the decades, social media evolved from a time suck, to a psychological abuse tool, and now it’s all probably an issue of national security.
The legacy media has done itself a disservice by betraying their own journalistic integrity.
We have our voice, use it.

Executive orders to undo #TraitorTrump damage to the Supreme Court #CourtOfJesters DoJ etc While Putting donald Behind Bars, like #JoeBiden was ELECTED to DO was the Day 1 PRIORITY
Now your political party is dead & only a miracle or #Revolution Saves 🇺🇸
Why do you think he was elected? Tens of Millions of us voted for him to BURY that Orange Traitorous PoS & he COMPLETELY FAILED! #WhoMerrick
Biden was not Allowed to Touch donald, as donald is ABOVE THE LAW
But what would you call a law about Corrupting Organizations to use their Influence for some kind of Racket?
I take a look and then run as fast as I can.🤮
By "this shit" I clearly mean trump. Do we not punish treason with death anymore?
What are they conservative about?

I assume you refer to someone specific, so say the name.
I don’t believe it is some hypothetical someone after tens of thousands of Ukrainians were murdered by russia with very help of Twitter disinformation.
Myanmar’s genocide was fueled by disinformation that dehumanized a minority, spread lies, and incited violence.
The repeated lies, targeting, and repurposed footage we see now on Twitter echo that horrifying pattern.
The danger is incredibly real and deadly.
Hitler basically ran on a "Make Germany great again" campaign where the Jewish were to blame for Germany's problems
Hitler also talked about "fake news", which he called lügenpresse which directly translated is "lying press"
It's all extremely similar
I don’t think so. Gets clearer by the day.
It Always do.
MAGA are already much more deranged and dangerous than ISIS.
That's what they want.
Then again south went to war against their own country. Guess they don't learn. Hateful ppl
Anyone that remains on Twitter is either an out of touch celebrity or the insane far right. Neither of which have any interesting to me to follow.
These clowns seriously believe that if you don't hold with their ideology, they have the responsibility to "put you down"
This is my personal experience.
We've lost contact with the idea of facts and evidence sadly.
There has to be legislation protecting TRUTH in free speech, but when lies out number truth 1000 to 1, and most of those lies are being told by legislators in congress, we have a constitutional crisis.
1st Amendment “imminent lawless action” test!
Oh wait
Lmao
Espionage of the psyche.

However, I WISH we could BAN Elon Musk instead…😊
Sorry, Zuck. (Not really.)
Zuck, that mma ain’t gonna save you from the mob, ho
And now all this stuff about Blake Livey and how some random PR firm was able to totally turn public sentiment against her.
The last election, all that disinformation, China got TikTok locked, Musk has X, Zuck has Facebook.
And they did it! It worked! Dystopia is here.
Okay! Alright. Whatever. I don’t know, sure, she’s a bitch. Fine.
But did she do anything close to what the MAN DID WRONG?
This is an asymmetric and familiar theme.
Say what you will about Kamala but…same deal there

You are correct, Twitter will soon be ran by the American government. It was sold by Don tha con 2 Musk.
Also President elect Musk must divest from his companies if he is going to be President.

From the last experience with Trump he talks a lot of shit, but never follows through or gets anything done, except golf. I’m pissed I’ll be paying for his golf days again, fucking traitorous bastard!
He owes money personally.
They are all bad!
I think Elon Mush should be banned from SpaceX or the government should find a new contractor.
Trump fucking had help again from Russia and the new President elect Musk definitely had a hand in the shitfuckery that went down. I trust NO ONE. Especially our government now.
It shouldn’t be okay for ANY company to sell my information.
He always get help from these folks though

We may be muscommunicating but Twitter better quality?
One thing to do would be to stop using it entirely, and encourage others to stop using it entirely
I was all about the loud and nasty "dirtbag left" approach, and had been for years.
After Trump won the first time I said to myself, whatever we are doing here, it isn't working.
As the number of high profile, relevant accounts on Twitter declines, so too does Twitter.
UK is just as bad.
Blocked.
It is the only way,
Most folks even those on the right are exhausted by it. We can't let conservatives exhaust us with uselessness. We have to punch through their bubbles.
