    I once guesstimated that 60 to 70% of all the activity on social media is bots. If Elon really does eliminate bots a lot of followers are going to disappear.
    I saw the numbers yesterday, and I started thinking much the same as Tim Pool talks about as far as followers. Certainly bots can be part of it, but I think it's more to do with the algorithm favoring leftist ideals. They have been fudging the numbers of followers to favor those on the left, while suppressing the followers on the right.

    Off limits to who?

    Just because they say it been locked doesn’t mean no one has access to it. There’s no way they completely removed the ability for anyone to be banned or unbanned. And there’s no way they completely locked themselves out from the ability to maintain their own systems.

    The claimed reason for locking it was to prevent any employees from doing something crazy to bring it down. Suddenly seeing all the wrong thinkers unbanned could very well be what they feared would trigger some blue haired radical to try to upload something in to the system in an attempt to burn it down.
    I think proof of that is people posting they were banned from use and are now able to post again. Someone has to be unbanning.

    I do not now or in the past have a reason to use twitter. Whatever I'm missing from the use of twitter, I will happily continue to miss.
    I may get an account, it depends on what Musk does with it. It's not so much that I want to start posting, it's more to see what others are posting without relying on some media spin.

    I have no desire to get into Twitter as deep as I used to be, but I do want to support it, if it is truly a free speech platform.

    Mayorkas testifies DHS is creating 'Disinformation Governance Board'

    RUSSIA! RUSSIA! RUSSIA! All over again. If you say anything against the current administration you must be a Russian asset!

    Wonderful.

    Are they going to call it the "Ministry of Truth"?

    A dim Schiff is worried about misinformation.

    Omfg. I cant stop laughing. Someone said it's like Godzilla worried about Tokyo's skyline.

    Tone deaf mother phucker.
    He has the proof right in his hands.

    Strangely it looks like the same proof he had in his hands that showed Trump was a Russian asset.

    I used to read to my kids a story when they were young, "The Schiff who cried wolf".

    "Flow of information", always laughed at that when the idiots who cry censorship use it.
    "When people come to our platform for news ..." - wait, what? Your Snap-A-Dick, FecesBook, Tw@tter or whatever "look-at-me-I'm-a-loser" platform is for entertaining of people who cannot make real friends and just feel like they "deserve" some attention. Sure, to each their own. But let's stop there. Don't claim that FB is a news source! :D
    I think that's where the system broke down. When selfie outlets for self-important divas started confusing themselves with news platform.
    Just like Axxe said, freedom of opinion is the same as freedom of speech. Nobody should be censoring others' opinions, no matter which way they are leaning. When I listen to an inbred leftist moron lunatic, I can just walk away. But I don't have to tell them that they must go home and never leave the house and never be allowed to speak to others. Though, come to think of it, it would solve some problems in our society.
    You seem to be under the impression that I'm ok with the "powers that be" controlling the conversation. I believe if you look deeper you'll find you're in error.

    Many major news stories break on Twitter. The Hunter Biden Laptop scandal is the biggest that comes to mind. Right before they censored any news outlet that ran it.

    I bet you are not the only one here with that attitude. But not sure why you might think what you think about my impression. I did not intend to give one in the first place. I am just another poster poking fun at our social media.
