The vast majority of people are sheep that are swayed by the media. They'll deny it. They'll get angry. But, they're still sheep that think what the media tells them to think.

Maybe there's method in this madness after all. A while ago, I've read an article speculating about Musk being overworked. If that's true, then f***ing up as much as possible to show everyone that you are in fact overloaded isn't the best coping mechanism, but it is a coping mechanism.

My take is this is simply hilarious. Watching so-called liberals fall all over themselves predicting the end of civilization because free speech is back is amusing to say the very least. Wait until some sideways talking Lib gets cutoff from Twitter. Liberal heads exploding across the USA in 3.2... BTW, I am NOT a Twitter-er.

Free speech ends, when law limits are crossed. (And yes, I know that law limits change a lot depending on where you are and what you say, but the definition still is valid, other aspects would require another kind of discussion).
If you still want to say it... do it, I don't care, just accept the consequences when you cross the line.
The positive side of not having a moderation team and account bans and all those "free speech" extremist fans... their comments remain longer online so eventually the authors can be found and / or other possible connections to illegal activities can be traced down.

If both Apple and Twitter go down the world will be a better place. Remember, Apple was the reason the EU forced all device manufacturers to go to USB-C as the single charging standard. Apple also has acted like a monopoly for years when it comes to access to iOS devices; both Microsoft (Windows) and Google (Android) have open environments for developers.
However, I wouldn't bet against Elon Musk. I would bet against Apple in this case.

Huh?
In 2009, when the EU initiative first started cell phones, all of them, were using proprietary connectors. Far as I know all of the companies attempted to restrict (legally) the connectors so other companies could not make chargers that had that connector.
What makes you think this was just a problem with Apple?
I certainly had at least one flip phone, which was not an Apple product, that was like that.

That is just not true.
Free speech is only regulated between the government and the people. Twitter is not the government. Simple as that.
Companies in the United States are allowed to control their products. Twitter is a company product. So they can control it.
Just like Apple does not allow porn of any sort for the IPhone.
Just like every company (modern ones) does not allow employees to view porn in the work place. Even on their break.
And companies can and do fire people for what they say in the work place and even when not at work all the time.
Regardless of what twitter does any US Citizen is still allowed to go to a public street corner and shout whatever lies they want. That is what the US Constitution is about.
Kirk 10389821 wrote: But their government Called Apple. And Apple Disabled that feature... For people in that country.
That has nothing to do with anything.
China is a different country. Companies in different countries must follow the laws of that country. Just as if a US citizen was in that different country then the laws of that country (or even the lack of laws) apply to that US citizen. Which is why a US teenager was caned in Singapore, because he broke the laws of that country and received the legal punishment of that country.

Society is being rubber-necked by Elon's train wreck with mental illness; I can't help but wish him some intervention, seeing him implode does not fill me with joy.
