    I don't know about scary, but Twitter will be a very sad place for leftists, Marxists, and Democrats who abhor free political speech.

    I never understood the appeal of twitter, but then again I don't care about attention or what others think so why would I

    I don't use a personal account but I do have a business account associated with the company I work and it's just a good way to stay relevant.

    for 99.9% of twitter users, NOTHING will change

    twitter is what it is

    it is a platform that people choose to use or not use to read current information

    don't follow people with who you do not agree

    and follow people with who you agree

    nobody is forced to use twitter

    free speech has never been an issue....a person has a right to yell fire in a theater

    but yelling fire is not protected under a free speech if there is no fire and people were injured

    if a person does not like what a person is saying. dont listen...or self censor

    another thing that will not change no matter who owns or controls twitter is below

    under no circumstances will people be allowed to threaten other with bodily harm

    will a bomb threat be considered "free speech"

    will disgusting and vile pornagraphic material be considered free speech??

    I think not

    A righty shying away from discussions they can’t handle then puffing out their chest to act tough.

    Where’s my Political Forum Bingo card? I’ve got that around here somewhere…

    That's because there isn't any. But that's where the LGBTQ whatever the hell is now.

    Which would be a significant improvement from where it is now, if you ask me.
