Taylor LorenzElon Musk plans to reinstate nearly ALL previously banned Twitter accounts — to the alarm of activists and online trust and safety experts. The decision will have dangerous consequences, particularly for vulnerable communities. https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2022/11/24/twitter-musk-reverses-suspensions/ #twitter #twittermigration #tech #technology #elon #TwitterMigrate
Dam@taylorlorenz If ever there was a time to bail on Twitter that time is now.
Laura C@DamnCatOnMyDesk @taylorlorenz Still inconceivable that one man has the ability by sheer virtue of being rich to control global communication.
Kay Dub@Laura1001 @DamnCatOnMyDesk @taylorlorenz one man does not control global communication. There are so many communication channels around the globe and in this country that people use. If you think #Twitter is IT??? Then that’s pretty much what #ElonMusk thinks everyone thinks and why he bought it and does what he wants - cause he doesn’t think anyone will leave. FB, IG, WhatsApp, WeChat, Reddit, TikTok, Mastodon, plenty other channels the globe is using to talk! 😄

You’re so correct. #ElonMusk is using the same weapon against the public that #TFG used: THE MEDIA
By feverishly posting/publishing these kind of headlines and stories, implying these men have so much power, you continue to empower them.
I’m not saying don’t report on it, just tone it down a little. The hysterical tone takes away the public’s ability to decide for themselves how to feel about the issue.
@smadre75 @Laura1001 @DamnCatOnMyDesk @taylorlorenz This! And as far as #Twitter goes, out of the 250+ active FB friends I have, I guarantee you no more than 5, including myself, have an active presence on Twitter. Real life? About 1-2 people out of dozens. #ElonMusk by FAR does not control the masses’ means of communication and that’s why I could fathom leaving that app so easily 😂
Thao Jones-Hill@kaydubatl @smadre75 @Laura1001 @DamnCatOnMyDesk @taylorlorenz what’s this Twitter that you speak of? ;)
Sleestak@taylorlorenz @thao @kaydubatl @DamnCatOnMyDesk @smadre75 @Laura1001 There was some buzz about at South by Southwest in ‘07, not sure what happened to it after that.
