It’s been a really interesting fall for technology and investor sentiment even as politics has gotten dull. https://t.co/oNI1iaxZSm — PolitiTweet.org

@jneeley78 Believe me, I would rather Tweet about Ron DeSantis’ fiscal policy ideas but so far he isn’t putting anything out so Musk is all we have to kick around. — PolitiTweet.org

@lionel_trolling Sad that anti-Croatian hate speech is being normalized on Elon Musk’s twitter — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias

What makes it even more boring than this is that it genuinely doesn’t matter — Musk paid top dollar for Twitter, he owns it, and he can change the policies for whatever reason he wants he doesn’t need to “prove” they were bad. — PolitiTweet.org

Democrats could use more Joe Manchin Energy, don’t need people whose big heterodoxy is on prescription drug prices and tax preferences for private equity fund managers. https://t.co/DWQtDN5GwC — PolitiTweet.org

Sinema’s problem is that me and @jonathanchait are pretty far out there on Moderate Island and we both think she’s terrible. https://t.co/wJ6lmeFaW1 — PolitiTweet.org

Resolving to say “at the margin” less at the margin but I think most of you should say it more. https://t.co/tt8gSVi8wS https://t.co/jbGwazg1n9 — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias

The import of Sinema’s move is that as an independent she can’t lose a primary, but can threaten to throw the race to the GOP unless Democrats agree not to run a Democrat in 2024. https://t.co/3caEOAtbvt — PolitiTweet.org

How did Beau Travail get declared the 7th best movie of all time but nobody is talking about The Stars At Noon, a movie by the same director that’s in English, came out this year, and is easily available on Hulu? — PolitiTweet.org

Maybe worst of all people will accuse “the media” of hypocrisy as if it’s a collective entity rather than a number or individuals working for business competitors. — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias

One of the worst rhetorical moves is the non-specific hypocrisy allegation where you say the left [or right] used to say X but now says Y without bothering to check if the specific people saying Y were saying X or if it’s just that there is disagreement within broad camps. — PolitiTweet.org

Our AI overlords’ definition of shadowbanning https://t.co/Sw8erGU334 — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias

I think it’s totally fine to prefer @elonmusk’s editorial taste to the Old Regime’s taste — you expect a change in ownership to entail a change in editorial taste. But you should have some questions as to why the new boss is making this out to be about something else. — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias

Musk’s own preferred approach to content moderation is specifically to throttle disfavored accounts, exactly what Old Regime Twitter did. I assume his team will have a different take on which specific accounts deserve to be de-amplified. It’s his platform so be it. https://t.co/14qc3hMBbY — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias

It was very interesting of @elonmusk and @bariweiss to pull back the curtain on the user interface and some of the process. But what I’d really like is fuller data — how were foreign government requests handled? How many people were flagged for de-amplification? Who exactly? — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias

I think it’s fair to say that most people who complained about “shadowbanning” were complaining about what Twitter actually *did* do, not about this other thing that Twitter called “shadowbanning.” But there’s not some official definition we can appeal to for resolution. — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias

To “shadow ban” is obviously not a term with a firmly established legal definition but when Old Regime Twitter officially denied shadowbanning they offered a specific, narrowly framed definition that seems consistent with New Regime Twitter’s revelations. https://t.co/wk382lDwzS — PolitiTweet.org
