So, if it was not the case before, now that #Twitter seems to be walled off for good...
How can the #NWS and, say, The White House (as a two random examples) continue to remain solely on social media platforms that are inaccessible to millions of unregistered users?
Those exclusively on the #Fediverse, an open platform, are being actively denied public services, official policy announcements and timely emergency alerts.
@adamjcook I don’t see a legal argument as no one here unless blocked is excluded from creating accounts on social platforms that governments are on. I feel as though that would be their response.
I think, for example, there were legal challenges around public officials (or official agency accounts?) blocking users and, thus, denying them access to official information at some "equitable level".
Seems similar because an argument could made that the blocked user could just sign-out to see the blocked information.
Just thinking about how many last-minute voting poll location changes that I used to see on #Twitter, for example...
The #NWS is likely allocating a non-trivial amount of public funding into their Twitter-based notification infrastructure that is now firmly denied to many.
Ditto for many other local emergency services and state/federal regulatory agencies.
Sure... I mean... to a certain degree... whatever.
#Twitter is his platform now (and is being used to project his hateful ideology and to advance his political interests).
That is a given now.
But the lying with this man.
It is simply incredible.
I have been dealing with it for years with respect to #Tesla's #FSDBeta program, but a chief executive that lies as much as #Musk, in operational control of several firms manufacturing safety-critical systems... it really makes one think.
@adamjcook why do you think weird sub dude felt confident about taking his plastic toy down to crush dept? He literally cited spacex as an example etc. etc.
The guy is just a disease. Twitter was just an exit strategy for cash from his massively overinflated tesla scam (he himself claimed that without working FSD the company's worth nothing, well FSD is a scam so... QED), then thought he could combine it with 'owning the libs' before realising he'd overpaid by a considerable amount.
The VERY unfortunate thing is that for some reason people in the legal system seem very scared of actually holding him to account. The Delaware chancery court were a rare example and he didn't expect it... his solar cities thing was an open fraud imo.
Just a deeply depressing time to have that creature associated with anything tech/science related at all.
#Musk is actively and aggressively tearing down decades of hard-fought, industry norms as it pertains to #SafetyCritical systems work - and that is very much by design.
And disinterested regulators allow him to get away with the most blatant of violations.
New engineering graduates are being cycled through Musk-controlled firms like #Tesla - only to likely leave with a very poor internal safety culture (that other firms can later exploit).
@adamjcook@JenMsft I mean if you look at what he says, and I mean everything for the past decade at least, it's really quite difficult to find things that aren't/weren't lies.
He's just established enough of a cult following + on-paper share value that people simply cannot believe he's just a lying scammer no it can't be etc.
No he really does just blatantly lie and he really is just as incompetent and clueless as he seems.
@aristeon89 A few did (or at least a few embraced the Fediverse in addition to their existing Twitter presence).
But, unsurprisingly, many do not want to lose their existing #Twitter audience numbers - even if they are now undoubtedly subject to Musk's covert manipulation.
