Twitter is stupid. I actually like FB. I keep in touch with family and old friends. I only have about 100 friends, less than my mother. lol. ---

I actually had no need to, but I did. It’s better than displaying the lack of, as the general population of Earth does lol ---

I don’t disagree and if Musk continues to allow intellectually disabled Twitter users to log in, it will be mostly useless, as you said, but your free speech right to dumb it down will continue to be safeguarded. ---

Elon is coming across like a twit, which amusingly is the title he gave himself. This is not an appropriate response to a legitimate concern. ![image](https://bbad.com/uploads/default/original/2X/d/dffb434d31a69b98fa0a6e0eeb61f310093ee02e.png) ---

Elon is learning what I learned 15 years ago when BBAD started, albeit at a billion-times-larger scale. Free speech leads to brilliant speech, but sadly only a small minority are brilliant so then it leads to stupid speech, and then it leads to screaming, and then it leads to no speech at all because the screamers yell louder than the brilliant people and the brilliant people leave. > **[Musk boots Kanye West off Twitter for swastika-Star of David post](https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2022/12/2/musk-boots-kanye-west-off-twitter-for-swastika-star-of-david-post)** > > Recent remarks by West, now known as Ye, have cost him business deals and led to social media suspensions. ---

I have to admit, Elon seems to be recovering. His release of the Twitter Files has been fascinating and I totally support his push for greater transparency. For years Twitter denied shadow bans existed. Now we learn that they did exist. Twitter had become a cancer and Elon might just cure it. > **[Twitter's ‘secret blacklists’ exposed](https://www.rt.com/news/567931-twitter-secrets-blacklist-exposed/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=RSS)** > > The social media giant has multiple tools for “visibility filtering,” according to the second part of Twitter Files investigation ---

That was a really interesting article and a weight off his Musk’s shoulders, I’m sure. I don’t think there was a safety risk though, except for the bot. Twitter [no longer has a communications department](https://gizmodo.com/elon-musk-twitter-layoffs-engineering-spreadsheet-1849767712) to contact for comment. I didn’t even know Twitter had a communications department. ---
