Continuing to censor opposition on Twitter. Loves Putin so much he donated all those starlink terminals to Ukraine and then had his engineers alter the carriers to evade Russian jamming??? yeah Putin love 2
Joe Ferguson forever Posted May 19, 2023 Posted May 19, 2023 7 minutes ago, Chris farley said: He helped broker a key agreement known as the Black Sea Grain Corridor Initiative that unlocked millions of tons of wheat caught up in Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, averting a global hunger crisis. The agreement was extended for another two months on Wednesday, one day before it was set to expire. and that has absolutely nothing to do with picking a side in the Turkish election...

The article you cited said turkey’s government said ‘these tweet are illegal, take them down or we take the whole site down.’ He said alright for now but I’ll see you in court. would should he have done? 1

The article you cited said turkey’s government said ‘these tweet are illegal, take them down or we take the whole site down.’ He said alright for now but I’ll see you in court. would should he have done? hmmmm, let me think...from the BBC article I linked, quoting Wiki CEO: But Mr Wales said Twitter should have stood its ground. "We have been blocked in various places around the world at different times, we have never given in to censorship and we never will," he told me on the BBC's tech podcast Tech Life. "If governments around the world believe that in order to get political advantage they can control what their political opponents are saying online or prevent them from speaking online, then they will try that." He said Twitter's actions would put pressure on other websites to comply with future demands. "I think people in the industry should really stand up and vigorously say no - actually an open internet, a free internet, the free sharing of ideas and knowledge is really crucially important," he added.

I saw the commentary on what the guy who isn’t ceo for Twitter said Twitter should do. I don’t have a strong opinion because I recognize Musk has been an overarching force for good in the world(I say that as I compete directly against him in a space he’s made a lot harder to compete in) but you think the best decision was be blocked completely as opposed to comply in interim and challenge in court? The right choice and why isn’t obvious to me 2

Kemp Posted May 22, 2023 Posted May 22, 2023 Yeah, there's no connection between Trump and Russia. Why did Republicans become Communists? Russia has expanded its list of sanctioned Americans in a tit-for-tat retaliation for the latest curbs imposed by the United States. But what is particularly striking is how much President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia is adopting perceived enemies of former President Donald J. Trump as his own. Among the 500 people singled out for travel and financial restrictions on Friday were Americans seen as adversaries by Mr. Trump, including Letitia James, the state attorney general of New York who has investigated and sued him. Brad Raffensperger, the secretary of state of Georgia who rebuffed Mr. Trump’s pressure to reverse the outcome of the 2020 election, also made the list. And Lt. Michael Byrd, the Capitol Police officer who shot the pro-Trump rioter Ashli Babbitt on Jan. 6, 2021, was another notable name. 1 1

Tom Morello is right near the top of that list, and epic ironic as his band was called "rage against the machine."

I think a guy like Miami Steve is a believer in free and fair as long as his guy wins, not so much when he doesn’t. In that regard, he’s like many myopic souls in our country, influenced and manipulated by his own bias. Or, maybe he didn’t believe all that stuff back in the day to begin with. 54 minutes ago, Chris farley said: Tom Morello is right near the top of that list, and epic ironic as his band was called "rage against the machine." It’s hard to figure out where his rage ended and he was co-opted to become part of the machine. I was reading another post about Dave Matthews recently. He was opining about guns and gun control, mentioned climate change as well. I read about his green initiatives—heavy emphasis on recycling, buying locally sourced goods and buying offsets. It occurred to me the best action he could take in his climate activism would be to stop touring. In spite of his efforts to lessen his impact, his carbon footprint is a massive cluster&$@$. He’s enormously wealthy, what’s the point when the future of the planet is in peril? Regardless, he pushes on. People are complicated. 1
