Twitter is going to kill people

[orangecrush]

When Trump starts reigniting the fires of fascism with his tweets, just as he did on January 6th.

Only this time, the narcissistic rage will be far, far, worse.

Musk knows this, and doesn't care.

He is betting on making up his losses by turning Twitter into a far right pigsty.

By the time enough decent people and advertisers are shocked and revolted enough to pull out of the platform, it will be too late for those affected.

Watch and see.

1. Stop fearmongering

It is no more dangerous than before.

2. O.K.

No more dangerous than before with Loser 45 using it to issue marching orders to his scum army.

I've said enough.

3. Um, sorry but you're wrong

The security implications of so many people leaving Twitter are enormous. There are a lot of nasty people out there and many lives are at risk if Twitter's database becomes available to the dictators that want to see what people are DM'ing and tweeting.

Keeping a large system like Twitter secure is a lot of work, and Musk has crippled them.

4. It's amazing

The kind of grip social media platforms develop on the minds of some users.

I know a couple of otherwise very progressive, sane people who literally become very emotional and defensive when you point out the dangers and potential for abuse of these platforms.

5. Using it for official government statements has always been insane.

I kept waiting for some Twitter employee to use a high level government account and post something that could literally start a war.

And now the risks are 1000 times as high.

6. "post something that could literally start a war"

I seem to remember Trump doing exactly that, but can't put my finger on it...
