    It’s interesting that they are choosing this, of all things, to double down on. They’re not just contesting what happened at the event, but doing it in a confrontational fashion that guarantees it will remain a story long after the rest of us move on. It would be one thing to simply say “We had a discussion over this, We’re right, they’re wrong”. But they keep pushing it.

    How many NPR fans are on Twitter these days, anyway? If Twitter had not chosen to step in and falsely label this story, it might have gotten 10 click-throughs and that’s it. But now, it’s an actual story, it remains in the news, and I’m not sure if that’s positive for the Trump campaign.

    I know, it’s just what they do. It’s the crowd size thing, the Sharpie thing, the “alternative facts” all over again. My hope is that every time they push their false reality too far, a handful of voters realize what is happening, and it prevents them from gaining more power.

      This is an interesting thought. Is Twitter now useful exclusively as a Streisand-Effect machine?

      I’d say, probably a whole fucking lot? Normal people listen to NPR, and (unfortunately), “normal” people still use Twitter. There is definitely a massive overlap still.

      The worst fucking part is that NPR has reacted to this shit by over-correcting and becoming obviously right-leaning in their reporting on US news. It’s a fucking joke. I guess all it takes to stop press from being “free” is a bunch of violent assholes willing to threaten to rape you family. Who would’ve thought.

    So Elon is purposely curating content on the platform? Isn’t that a violation of section 230? They should lose that protection if they are actively blocking free speech and marking news as spam.

      Why would that be a section 230 violation? That only means the providers are not legally responsible for user content.

        It’s the argument a lot of politicians are making, that once platforms start curating user generated content they become responsible for it despite section 230. I think it’s bullshit, but it is the argument being made.

          Yeah it’s bs. Congress can change that, perhaps a court could make changes. Anything happening now is just fine and any changes would only affect the future.

    Dumping Twitter wasn’t even a slight wrench. It descended into the toilet pretty quickly after Musk took over. I occasionally sneak back to Reddit, although the experience isn’t that great. But Twitter? Nopes from me even though I liked it previously very much.
