Addendum here, Musk's worst legal problems seem to be in Europe. Many of his revenue-enhancing ideas look illegal under EU rules. I doubt the House GOP can help him much with those. — PolitiTweet.org

Much useful information continues to flow here. But I (and others) have noticed a marked diminution. Meanwhile Twitter is accepting payment to magnify the reach of anti-vaxxers and other charlatans. Meanwhile, the site owner personally boosts bad actors of many kinds. — PolitiTweet.org

I enjoy posting wisecracks here. I benefit a little - but only a little - from linking to other work. (The click-through rate is low on Twitter, always has been.) The great benefit is the information flow, the discovery of sources, the opportunity to amplify people on front lines — PolitiTweet.org

If I were given the choice: "Twitter as it was - but you can never post yourself again" or "Twitter as it is - but your personal speech rights and follower counts are guaranteed secure" ... I would unhesitatingly choose the former over the latter. — PolitiTweet.org

"Will you migrate to Post, Mastodon, or somewhere else?" seems to me the wrong question. For me, the highest value of Twitter is hearing directly from people engaged in freedom struggle against Russia, in Iran, in Chinese-speaking lands. Where do THEY go? How will I follow THEM? — PolitiTweet.org

A crazy thing about the clumsy lie that Musk banned journalists for "doxxing": It's been credibly reported that one of Musk's plans to jazz Twitter ad revenue is to require all users to share their real-time locations with Twitter advertisers. Privacy for him, not for you. — PolitiTweet.org

What they always meant by "free speech" was: "We and our friends get to say what we please. You have to listen." — PolitiTweet.org

At least we can close the book once and for on the crazy fantasy that the reactionary authoritarians empowered by the new Twitter ever cared about "free speech." — PolitiTweet.org
