Man-child cries to the government that no-one wants to play with him.
Such a facepalm concept
Capitalists. We can’t regulate businesses, if a corporation is opperating unsafe, harming the environment, spreading hateful messages etc… the only check and balance we need is the free market, and the consumers voting with their wallets.
Consumers vote with their wallets, This is unspeakable… we need the government to regulate to make sure the consumers don’t organize and vote with their wallets.
The thing is Twitter costs, even at its height, under a billion a year to run.
He could pull all advertising and run it to the end of his life as a hobby.
But he can’t have that, because the line must go up and the workers must cower in fear whenever their boss stalks the building.
That and one of the thing with rich people is that they hate losing money whatever happens.
So technically Melon could run Twitter at a loss for years but at one point, he will simply abandon it.
he will simply abandon it.
That’s sounds wonderful, let’s go with that option
This is insane, there should be fines for frivolous lawsuits like this.
This is why he moved to Texas
And changed the twitter ToS to require suits in a specific part of texas.
Elon Musk’s X updated its terms of service to steer user lawsuits to US District Court for the Northern District of Texas, the same court where a judge who bought Tesla stock is overseeing an X lawsuit against the nonprofit Media Matters for America.
The new terms that apply to users of the X social network say that all disputes related to the terms “will be brought exclusively in the US District Court for the Northern District of Texas or state courts located in Tarrant County, Texas, United States, and you consent to personal jurisdiction in those forums and waive any objection as to inconvenient forum.”
X recently moved its headquarters from San Francisco to Texas, but the new headquarters are not in the Northern District or Tarrant County. X’s headquarters are in Bastrop, the county seat of Bastrop County, which is served by US District Court for the Western District of Texas.
So we’re just going past the line of obviously corrupt without batting an eye? They even tell us now. Written. Legally binding.
initiative to withhold “billions of dollars in advertising revenue”
That’s how he sees it, huh? He is entitled to your money by default, and you’re the problem if you ever stop giving him money?
Can’t wait for this to be thrown out of court. No one is forced to buy anything on his neo-nazi platform
Twitch currently has a pretty effective moderation method for making sure certain topics or games don’t get featured on their platform.
For example, you can be in a bikini, that’s fine, but you can’t show feet.
You also can’t play the socom games from PS2, because of the idea of glorifying terrorists. Since if they win, the announcer says “terrorists win”.
The point I’m making is, these are abstract concepts that need human monitoring. It wouldn’t be that hard to add twitter/X conversations to that list.
So like, if you have a twitter, you can’t use your twitter on your away screens, or talk about it on stream. The same way you can’t give out an only fans link.
And twitch is owned by amazon. If they REALLY wanted to piss off musk, they could buy bluesky and make it the official microblogging service for all amazon owned services.
So if you have an amazon account, now you have a bluesky account.
And all the actors who act in yhe prime shows? They get signed into bluesky exclusive interaction contracts. Where they only interact with fans on bluesky.
As for CVS? They’re a struggling drug store chain. Amazon already owns whole foods. A grocery store. Would it really be too far out of the realm of plausibility to see them adopt CVS into their too big to fail ecosystem?
It is unlikely that Amazon will buy Bluesky, but it is likely that Amazon will do its own fork of Bluesky.
Can I sue Elon for not advertising on my car window? Its only $1k/day
Yes. Every company is colluding to not advertise on your window. Which is the definition of antitrust.
