    they probably paid for twitter blue so they get promoted and bumped to the top of the newsfeed and did not face any kind of editorial scrutiny.

    so is it time to agree we need some fully regulated social media legislation?

    It's *almost* as if Elon could give a shit about free speech and the common man and is quite simply another chaos agent dedicated to maintaining the staus quo.

    No. I would prefer legislating "social" media out of existence.

    I've seen this coming for years....we will have to have major limits on free speech because of this bullshit. Now we've got AI to deal with.

    I'd have no issue getting rid of Facebook. Twitter is actually, or WAS actually, before Elon ruined it, a fantastic tool for agencies to quickly disseminate information in real time during tragedies.

    agreed...it now reminds me of FB in that you can't control your feed anymore. Mine is full of garbage that I don't subscribe to or follow. They throttle certain journalists and media outlets. It's really sad. Threads seems to be the way to go but it still doesn't have the traffic.

    I remember being able to keep any of my FB comments out of my feed several years ago. That was nice because I could comment on political stuff and not worry that it was popping up for all my "friends" to see. Now everything is broadcast to everyone. A relatively innocent comment or question results in magat "friends" posting bullshit on my comments.

    I'd say over the last week, I've had ten new "X" followers. Each of them a scantily-clad female (in their account photo, anyway) following like 3000 people and followed by like 40.

    I've blocked so many of those over the years, it's staggering. same thing on instagram before I deleted my account.
