How far the mighty have fallen ... from bombshell smoking guns to wild unsubstantiated conjecture.
It was reported that requests were made by both sides. The selective releases were made in dubious circumstances by a person who has already taken sides and has planted a flag. Do you have evidence that the releases were even-handed and not intended to make one side look bad? You clearly assume this but do you have any evidence that it's true?
I repeat, revenge porn should reflect poorly on the people who posted it, not on those who asked for it to be taken down, even if they had to ask 1,000 times. Why do you avoid talking about the scant facts we do have and choose instead to drift off into wild assumption and conjecture? The only reason I can see is the facts don't support your story but wild conjecture does.
Assuming Elon is not incompetent and he is not sandbagging then, if anything, the facts in the Twitter File releases exonerate the Dems (akin to praise by faint damnation) leaving the other side to make wild assumptions and conjectures in order to score points.
If you have facts and citations to back up your claims, I'd very much like to see them. Otherwise you might want to quit while you're behind and stop digging.
I'm just listing out what's been tweeted. If you think I'm picking a "side" in this dumbassery, you are mistaken. Look (way) back in this thread, I'm actually a "centrist" by the objective measurements, and consider both the left and right about as equally corrupt as Tonya Harding. Both sides are idiots with rock piles, living in glass houses. I don't have much of a bone to pick in this thread, one way or another. Elon's going to be Elon, and the hand wringing here isn't going to change things one damned bit. It is entertaining, however, to watch people think that their screaming and virtue signaling are going to change what he does, or that their condemnation of such matters in the least.
I will occasionally come in, toss a hand grenade by quoting something in the official releases or something else that challenges preconceptions (i.e. the Dems were always right in their takedown requests and they were completely wholesome in their motives - HA HA HA) and then sit back with popcorn and watch all parties heads explode. Mission accomplished.
I want to see the full files released (all millions and millions of them, by report). Right now, we have one journalist saying something along the lines of "most of the requests came from Democrats", and then another saying that the "Slack Channel" didn't show any requests at all by Republicans. They are not mutually exclusive, as Slack is a back-end communication system in this case for employees to discuss things (were Rep requests that boring? who knows).
I also am reserving judgement on Elon and Twitter till 12 months after the purchase. I've bought about a dozen companies, small ones of course, and it takes a good while to implement change after you take over.
I also consider it mission accomplished when
@mach-edriver gives me a thumbs down. I've hit a nerve successfully.
