Republicans are already crowing about mtg "dropping the mic" and Boebert catching Twitter flat footed in lies that will land them in prison.
So, uh.
They live in an alternate universe.

They do. The witnesses are not saying anything that supports the Republican propaganda. They are revealing some interesting things about the Trump administration constantly contacting Twitter and making threats unless they agree to take down posts that Trump does not like. Not a single witness was able to come up with a single instance of the Biden Administration or the CIA or FBI under any administration telling Twitter what to do or threatening Twitter in any way. The only instances of the government attempting to interfere with Twitter were all instances of the Trump White House threatening Twitter regarding posts that Trump didn't like.

Au contraire. All the portions of the hearings that I saw showed this hearing is blowing up in Republican's faces. That is why I was asking if we have a thread on it. I will watch the whole thing later on CSPAN, but I've watched some already. Republicans will likely be very sorry they opened up this particular door, Raskin and other Democrats are killing it on questioning. And, the people who are being questioned aren't particularly friendly with Republicans and seem to be answering questions quite honestly and have the goods to back up what they are saying.
Quoting Republicans* is by definition pointless. As we know, they just lie.
The committee was a shit show for them. The Dems shone.
Note also that AOC, Raskin, and someone else called out the R's for threatening the witnesses with arrest and jail. Apparently not condoned by Robert's Rules of Order.

Looks like I've made the grade. Or something. A quick Google suggest that posters found to be meanies can be limited. Not sure that applies to me. Anyway, to quote my favorite Vulcan, Fascinating.

They are making tweetdeck a premium service for twitter blue.
And pretty much anything else that uses Twitter API will need to pay up.

The yelling voice was added in, but the rushing out was real
and from 2016.

when software developers have to tinker with a code base they do know little of
Twitter users told they’ve hit daily post limit in latest outage since Musk takeover
US tech publication reports CEO Elon Musk has asked staff to pause all new development to stabilise app
Josh Taylor
Thu 9 Feb 2023 00.25 GMT
Twitter users were unable to post instantly on the website for almost an hour, in the latest outage to hit the social media platform since billionaire Elon Musk’s $44bn takeover.
From around 10pm GMT on Wednesday, users attempting to tweet were informed by the platform they had hit their daily limit – despite many of them reporting having not tweeted at all that day.
The outage affected not just new tweets but retweets and replies. Users also reported not being able to access their direct messages.
Some users discovered a workaround by scheduling tweets one minute into the future. The service eventually returned at nearly 11pm GMT, however at the time of reporting, direct messages were still missing.
At the time of reporting, Tweetdeck – a Twitter-owned service that allows users to view multiple columns of Twitter in browsers – remained down. There has been speculation that the product will become exclusive to Twitter Blue subscribers, but the company has yet to announce whether that is the case.
Since Musk took over the company, Twitter no longer has a press department, but the Guardian sent questions to an email address the company has previously used to field press inquiries.
US tech publication The Information reported Musk told Twitter staff to pause “new feature development” to maximise stability on the platform amid the outage.
The disruption came just hours after
Twitter rolled out a new product to Twitter Blue subscribers that allows them to send tweets with up to 4,000 characters. The company was also in the process of ending its free access to the application programming interface (API) on 9 February.
The change will cut off a wide variety of services including Twitter thread readers, automated replies, and automatic tweet delete services.

Elon throwing a fit because his engagement is down and people are losing interest in his antics. Like all the fringe right he claims his own company is shadowbanning. When proven otherwise he fires engineers

Yeah, on the bright side, when Musk gets down to just one remaining employee, he will know for sure who is shadow-banning him.
And then that dude is fired, too also!
