how Trump rigged the helicopter that crashed killing 2 of his execs that were going to turn of him and testify about his money-laundering activities. Think Dorsey would ban those tweets? Think Trump would have a reaction?

Twitter management, who do not see the Twitter model the same way, and you'll see why this won't be happening in the chaotic, conflict-driven Trump era.

A group of venture capitalistS threatened to take over Twitter recently lead by vulture capitalist Paul Singer a great MF45 supporter. If he wants to keep his job he has to be real careful to not upset these major stockholder investors.

My neighbor works for Twitter and I asked him about the bots and why can’t they stop them. He said the bots generate income for the company ( which I don’t understand). And he told me about the Dorsey having to walk the fine line.

Along the lines of how Newspapers used to do it but with more techno fiddling and even less accountability.

Plus it's the old bromide that any publicity is good publicity.

I got banned for life for calling Tomi Lauren a lamp post appendage after she cheered gassing immigrants on Thanksgiving. Best thing for me, and I would much rather be here at DU. Twitter does as much damage to our country as Fox, LimpBalls and Alex Jones. But trumpPutin can say anything and it is freedom of speech. Twitter is for twittless twits just like twitler tRump. Melanoma will get right on this abuse and bullying, right after Being Best, “Really not caring, do you”, and sporting those new kidneys to the world. MAGA! Thank you DU buddies. So much more intellect here. But I do hate all the trump advertisements and “How great is he” polling requests. Twitter on the shitter is smelly and toxic.

I'm a big believer in financially supporting DU - I've been here for almost 19 years and I truly could not survive without it!
