In the last 24 hours, two accounts emerged on Twitter. One is a fan of mine who posted my articles and tweeted some of my thoughts.
I wondered how long Twitter would let her be an outspoken fan of mine. Turns out 24 hours.
She got 200 followers and was not abusive in any way. She tweeted this along with my article on Tracy Diaz:
Here is the result:
Please note Tracy Diaz collected over 37,000 followers in 24 hours before Helen pointed her out. As a reward Helen got banned. Now look who showed up:
Twitter is a catastrophic shitshow. Put a fork in it.
UPDATE: LOL. Ok, Twitter. 👍🏼
This is a clusterfuck of a deal. I cancelled my Twitter account (of nobody's interest but mine) with a bleeding heart. I knew Musk paid not nearly enough because the value of FoxNews, Facebook and Twitter put together in the hands of white, narcissistic Fascist Billionaires is going to be the end of democracy as we know it. And what it the price for that? It is the beginning of the hunger games. Poor people will live at the mercy of the few rich. Bow your head, do not look them in the eye and submit or die. The more I read, the more I feel trapped in a bad Steven King book. Handsmaid is just a comedy compared to what is waiting for us. And your suspension, for telling the truth, about the 'wrong' people just proved it. F@#$king shitshow. Sorry for my language.
FFS. So people can post all sorts of harmful stuff on Twitter, Liz Harrington can serve as Trump’s bullhorn on Twitter, but Helen posts some of your content and gets banned? Very disturbing.
I am troubled by the timing of Musk purchasing Twitter and the value placed by private companies on data mining, perhaps to be sold to governments, militaries, intelligence communities, dark money orgs. A good read on privacy issues with regard to companies mining Twitter’s data is here. This could get people killed if the data falls into the wrong hands. https://theintercept.com/2022/04/22/anomaly-six-phone-tracking-zignal-surveillance-cia-nsa/
