One of the best things Brazil did was ban twitter for a month, that alone caused irreparable damage to the platform's standing in Brazil, went from 22 million user to 16 million today. And since Elon hasnt dared to even mention our politics, just ban it, Elon is a pussy and will back off

Don't forget we are not even seeing the DMs on X, which are likely even more outrageous from some individuals.

This both needs to happen and it is absolutely necessary for your nation & your sovereignty. Also though too, these nations of the world seem so unable to listen to & take advice of their digital best. They seem so liable to want to control & steer speech for not such noble reasons.

LBJ would have made a phone call that was just "Hey, Japie, you ever read about Jack Parsons? He liked getting fucked up and playing with fire, too."

respectfully: well, duh

FUCKING FOR REAL! 🔥🔥🔥

I keep writing to mine and they don’t seem to share my concerns.

kindly and respectfully: I did not explicitly state that a key reason why the world is suckling Elon Musk’s toes is because he has lots of money. Quite frankly I kinda assumed that was blindingly obvious

Having tried to the best of my capacity before - it's depressing to realize that in Canada, all political candidates appear to fall into exactly two categories: technologically illiterate, or completely captured by tech bros and venture capital. It's on us to produce better leaders.

Japan will never figure it out and as I've mentioned previously that's a massive national security issue once we get another Big One.

One day, someone is going to realize "wait we have the guns and he flies in a private jet that is very vulnerable to missiles"

You had me at “piss like a spaniel”.

Yes, it’s absolutely all correlated

"Self-preparing meals" is an excellent turn of phrase, & I'm going to have to commit it to memory.

Unfortunately most center left/left leaders are too anarchist/libertarian about the state and the center is too sympathetic to the far right. There are a few promising exceptions but most of those are not yet in power.

it is going to seek out and destabilize any country that doesn’t act first i don’t know how that lesson hasn’t been learned

I totally agree. And maybe my thought here is dumb, but I do believe that liberal democracies need to work together to beat back fascism, and much of that starts by opposing MAGA and tech fascists here in the US

There were lots of things I liked about the early 2010s. But that time is over and gone, and we can't wish it back again.

100%

Asking trash AI models if something is true, too.

And it would put all the other oligarchs back in line.

I’m worried that an attempt to scalp Musk will just rip out the plugs and let the Krang-looking fucker slip away

Nah, I’m good, ta. Just am a bit weary about grand statements from Labour politicians who keep using it none the less

If the UK didn't ban it for the unconsensual nudes Grok was making, they wouldn't ban it for this. They're using the issues with Twitter/X to attack VPNs and manufacture consent for banning those.

Yes I know! Just couldn’t help adding to your post. I even wonder if they’d leave X were Musk to change their little check marks to little blue swastikas?

Censorship is the way to freedom and security!

Nah, then the degens of twitter would come here. And I'm sure none of us want that.

Yes
