If FB is correct, today is @reckless’s 40th birthday. In only ten more years, he’ll be eligible for full membership in AARP and discounts at Motel 6 and various cruises. So, HBD, Nilay! — PolitiTweet.org

@Neonsquare That’s called a boycott. It has a long and often noble history. As long as it’s peaceful, and doesn’t incite violence, or dox or harass anyone, there’s nothing wrong with it. I do not endorse any use of this tactic that involves violence or harassment. — PolitiTweet.org

@Mildmann There. Was. No. Fraud. And neither I nor Biden ever called it a “landslide”. — PolitiTweet.org
Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg
@Mildmann In most elections with popular and electoral wins as large as Biden’s, recognition & congrats come instantly. There aren’t 50 lawsuits, and a refusal to concede. The electoral college vote is ceremonial. In 2016, Clinton conceded immediately despite *winning* the popular vote. — PolitiTweet.org

Finally, McConnell recognizes the results of the election held 6 weeks ago. https://t.co/mGO0Cqpo3Z — PolitiTweet.org

@SRuhle @karaswisher @profgalloway @brooke You know I love you, @karaswisher, but I also really like #LoveActually. I plan to watch it soon for the 88th time. After the pandemic, we should watch it together. — PolitiTweet.org

@ses716 They don’t contradict each other in any way. My second tweet didn’t suggest it was ok to threaten or commit violence or doxxing. — PolitiTweet.org
Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg
@Daigham I agree. It’s a subset of the misinformation/disinformation problem that is swamping social media. The answer is new laws regulating the platforms that amplify this stuff. That will take awhile. — PolitiTweet.org
Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg
4/ I absolutely oppose threatening violence against individuals or companies you dislike, or doxxing them. But there is nothing wrong with *peaceful*, non-violent, organized boycotts, like the 1955 Montgomery, AL, bus boycott - a seminal event in the civil rights movement. — PolitiTweet.org

3/ Some people buy iPhones because of @Apple’s tight privacy and curation policies. Others “cancel” them for the very same reason. Some “cancel” a candidate for office, or a commentator, because they disagree with them. It’s fine and natural, as I see it. — PolitiTweet.org
Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg
2/ if you learn something about a person, company or organization that troubles you about their products or their policies, you have every right to “cancel” dealing with them. It’s how I switch brands of say, cars, because another one is better. Same with news sources. — PolitiTweet.org
Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg
1/ IMO, there’s nothing wrong with so-called “cancel culture”. One of the benefits of democracy and capitalism is the freedom to spend your money anywhere you want, for any reason, and not elsewhere. Same w/ associating with people, companies & organizations. It’s merely choice. — PolitiTweet.org

@seanolive @WSJ It wasn’t the editor who oversees or has any influence on news coverage. It was the editor who solely controls the editorial page and op-eds. And he is not apologizing. He and his predecessors never had any authority over me or my work. — PolitiTweet.org
Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg
Trump backers have one more move left to try and overturn the election: have Congress refuse to accept the electoral vote. The @nytimes says they’ll try, but likely fail. https://t.co/kLJWXQU5j0 — PolitiTweet.org
Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg
@CEOKanePE @WSJ Thank you. But @karaswisher is still writing, podcasting and running conferences. And there are still some other excellent tech journalists, amid a sea of mediocrity. One of the best is my successor at the Journal, @JoannaStern. — PolitiTweet.org
Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg
@JimKultgen I honestly have never heard the term “ad editor”. But obviously someone at every print newspaper decided where the ads should run. Sorry, I don’t know any. — PolitiTweet.org
Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg
@jeffreyswisher @WSJopinion @DrBiden I can’t. — PolitiTweet.org
Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg
I spent a long career at the @WSJ in the news department. I would have instantly quit if the editorial page had directly or indirectly tried to interfere with anything I wrote, whether it was policy and politics or tech. They never did. Nor did the ad staff or the owners. — PolitiTweet.org
Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg
The @WSJopinion page op-ed by a retired college lecturer referring to @DrBiden as “kiddo” and urging her to drop the title of “Dr.” - even though she earned a doctorate - is plain sexism. Plus, the style guide for the separate news side of the Journal explicitly allows the title. — PolitiTweet.org

The talented author of this story is on Twitter at @ronshafer1. We worked together for years on the straight-news side (independent of the editorial page) of the @WSJ in the old days. — PolitiTweet.org
Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg
@jeffdistress @WSJ @DrBiden I agree with you about that @WSJ op-ed. But it has nothing to do with this electoral college story, which was published in the @washingtonpost and written by a long-retired journalist from the *news* side of the Journal. The two staffs are separate and independent of each other. — PolitiTweet.org
Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg
The electoral college meets tomorrow. Here’s a fascinating story by former @WSJ reporter and editor Ron Shafer on how Southern segregationists and angry Republicans tried to hijack the electoral college 60 years ago to deny JFK the presidency. https://t.co/t8hF8fhwDN — PolitiTweet.org

How Tech Can Bring Our Loved Ones to Life After They Die. A must-watch short documentary by @JoannaStern. 👇👇👇 https://t.co/futJxewaPC — PolitiTweet.org
Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg
@EdAlvarezB @JoannaStern This one is quite different. It’s more like a documentary and she worked on it for months and months. — PolitiTweet.org
Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg
Must-watch video by @JoannaStern! It’s a deep dive into emerging ways to digitally preserve the memories of loved ones after death, from files and photos, to a customized Alexa system and even lifelike robots. It’s fascinating, and especially relevant now. https://t.co/futJxewaPC — PolitiTweet.org

@MollyGHP Absolutely right, Molly. So happy you’re also on the board. — PolitiTweet.org
