I may be off base here, but I think Musk is trying to tell his advertisers to go fuck themselves.
Specifically, if they want to influence Twitter's (and Musk's) anti-semitic and other nonsense.
What's the saying? Vote with your feet! And they are...

Those would be the former advertisers...raison de arizona wrote: ↑Wed Nov 29, 2023 6:04 pmI may be off base here, but I think Musk is trying to tell his advertisers to go fuck themselves.

He's
I noticed that! I'm seeing way more ads with community notes than actual posts with notes. The funniest I saw recently was for a ball that is supposed to rebound to the height from which it's dropped. The picture shows (I never play the videos) a ball being dropped from a 2nd story window and the community note is all about physics. LOL
Thanks. They want $100,000 in damages - that's so super thermonuclear! And a jury trial! Whee!
I know that's what the plainsite says, but the actual lawsuit doesn't specify a dollar amount.
The lawsuit doesn't allege any obligation. It alleges Media Matters (and its reporter) made false representations. And made those representations with the intent to disrupt the site's relationships with its current and prospective advertisers.Why on earth does musk think advertisers are obligated in any way to advertise on any platform at all?
Yeah. And you’re forgetting the big gun he shoots from the hip. Like Chuck Connors.Foggy wrote: ↑Wed Nov 29, 2023 8:27 pm No, any advertisers who have already left, can go fuck themselves, because they're not coming back anyway, so he can act all tough.
The tough guy act is so pathetic, it's hilarious.
Yanno, I hate that he bought Twitter and killed it. I really mourn the loss of Twitter in my life.
But the tough guy act almost makes it worth it.
Look, I haz a sword, just like a real tough guy! Look, I can do cuss wordz, just like a real tough guy! Look, Mommy! Look at me!
Me, too. It’s painful to me every day not to be interacting with my coffee geek buddies, the anti-Bundy crowd, not to mention hearing all the breaking news. Now I get my news from The NYTimes, WaPo and some regional newspapers, all of which media do fact checking, are edited, usually can be relied upon to be trustworthy sources. What fun is that?
It is slowly getting better.
I get those, too (weird follows) and ignore them. When I get bored I go block them.Mrich wrote: ↑Thu Nov 30, 2023 9:48 am I use Twitter mostly to get news and opinions; I rarely tweet; sometimes retweet. I follow about 500 people, mostly news reporters or sports/entertainment figures.
Lately I have picked up at least 50 followers who follow thousands of people but have maybe 10 followers. I'm talking several a week. Most of the accounts have sexy women as their avatar. I'm pretty sure they are bots who want me to "follow back". (I never follow back unless I like what those people are tweeting or retweeting.)
I don't mind having followers but if you follow me you're wasting your time.
Yup. For people who live on Twitter, follower count is key; it shows how important you are. Many users love to dick measure, and to use followers as the measuring tape: "Why would believe what someone with only 37 followers says?", as if number of followers is a reliable indicator of accuracy.
THANK YOU!!! I used the second one. I have been on the waiting list for many months and didn't know anyone who had codes. But now I'm in and will be checking it out.
Today, Media Matters for America named Elias Law Group as counsel in the case of X Corp. v. Media Matters for America.
On Monday, November 20, X Corp. sued Media Matters for America following publication of a report which revealed that ads for major brands appeared on X next to content that touts Adolf Hitler and his Nazi Party, despite CEO Linda Yaccarino’s claims that brands are “protected from the risk of being next to” toxic posts on the platform.
Media Matters President Angelo Carusone said, “Media Matters stands by its reporting. This case is not only significant for us, but has major First Amendment implications for all. With Elias Law Group, we look forward to continuing our work unabated and ultimately winning in court."
Abha Khanna, Partner, Elias Law Group, added, “Elias Law Group is proud to represent Media Matters for America in this case. X Corp.’s lawsuit against MMFA is a clear attempt to bully and silence anyone who dares to hold them accountable. X Corp. has fallen far short of its commitment to protect its users and advertisers from hateful, extremist content. We look forward to ensuring that MMFA is able to continue its important work."
