Yup, seems free speech only works the Elon way. Here's the video on YouTube if you're interested:

I haven't done a deep dive but a quick glance down the 27 pages of the paper produced a couple of concerns. Since the research methodology that led to groupings of Rt/Lt wing bias was somewhat subjective and the authors also admit that the didn't share their raw third party media bias data, I smell a rat.

Very interesting, but not really relevant to what I posted.

Re: [Updated] Elon Musk $44 Billion Twitter deal back on
 

Bias is always going to be subjective.

Why do you not apply similar scepticism to Musk's pronouncements?

lol, it's got no place in a research paper :D

All he has to do is read Musks twitter feed :)

Re: [Updated] Elon Musk $44 Billion Twitter deal back on
 

I think you read the article wrong. The bias is in the algorithm, not the research paper. Let's face it, you would claim any research is fake news if it does not match your perspective so your point is moot.

I would welcome articles proving the alternate reality you seek ...

I didn't read the article. I skimmed the actual paper.

He’s by default, already celebrity status, being the worlds richest man.

The following, isn’t in direct reply to you, Damien.

All these ill conceived notions that he is racist are utterly pathetic, it’s about these lefty folk needing to stop throwing up the race card, every single time you disagree with something Musk has done, for a start, he’s historically voted Democrat, he supported Obama, he’s the worlds worst racist, if he championed a black man to be president, FFS. :rolleyes:

Because the Dems have turned in to an extremist, woke entity, he’s shunned the Democrats and I do not blame him. He’s allowed to be who he wants to be, he’s allowed to run Twitter, how he chooses so long as it doesn’t break any laws, but these stupid attacks coming from the liberals, you need to look in the mirror, you’re the ones full of hate and division, you’re the ones, who can’t stand it when votes don’t go your way, the left ran Twitter for too long, and it went to your heads, banning folk you didn’t like, mainly conservatives, that is true fascism, you’re happy to see other side silenced, so you are the fascists, it happened, but no more.

But these fascist and racist homophobe accusations need to stop, because it’s utter bullshit.

Re: [Updated] Elon Musk $44 Billion Twitter deal back on
 

I know but he seems to want to reveal the actual celebrity part. Attending Hollywood events, going out with pop stars and doing walk-ons at comedy gigs.

:tu:


It's not just them though, is it? It's members of the right who couldn't stand when votes didn't go their way so stormed congress trying to overturn the results of an election and posing threats to elected politicians, it's a right-wing group who tried kidnapping the Democratic Governer of Michigan,, it's the right who are members of Q Anon and Pizzagate conspiracies. These were hateful people. All of this is more serious than banning people on Twitter.

It's just extremists and America breaking apart.

Incidentally, I still don't think it matters who's banned from Twitter. People on the right may have been banned, but now people who posted white nationalist content are back. It's legal in America and Musk can do what he wants besides that. I don't especially fancy seeing that content in my feed so I'll use it less. No great loss to Twitter or me. Same as when I stopped using Facebook as much.

What I would say to people who are angry that Twitter could ban people then do you want Government intervention now? If not, and Musk can do as he likes, then it also stands that the previous Twitter owners could do what they like as well?

Wow, the Richest man in the world is now French! First the World Cup and now this.

Tesla has gone down 10% in a week. Ouch.

Re: [Updated] Elon Musk $44 Billion Twitter deal back on
 

Down 50% in the last year…

Re: [Updated] Elon Musk $44 Billion Twitter deal back on
 

Well I’m, on Twitter every day, and I haven’t seen any increase in far right or white nationalist content in my feed. But the constant trans-ideology and vitriol against JK Rowling continues as normal.

The recent Twitter exposés, just prove that Twitter suppressed information at the behest of the FBI and the Incoming Biden administration. Twitter exec in charge of “misinformation” was a very left wing ideologue. Yoel Roth,

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...l-context.html

The question is if Twitter was like this, what about Facebook & Google!

The reason why the machine is now going after Musk is because of what he’s sitting on.

This story is potentially massive, certainly in the public interest and two exposés have come out…….but………not even on the Sky news front page.

Two Elon Musk/ Twitter stories make it to the BBC, both negative to the current regime.

1) Musk no longer worlds richest man
2) charities dismay as Twitter disbands Safety group, although proven that this “safety group” was nothing of the sort.

The thing is anyone on the centre/ centre right, that might have batted away conspiracy ideologues in the past, may look at all this and start thinking differently.
