    So its safe to say you haven't a clue what your talking about.
    You have no clue what Twitters TOS is
    You have no clue is they violated Twitters TOS
    You're just spitballing BS

    I have asked you which TOS you feel they have violated so I can look it up. I am begging you to educate me on a topic you seem very passionate about but so far all you have been unable to generate anything outside of your opinion.

    Which seems to be the basis of all of your posts.

    The change is because of Dems inability to lead, creating shortages that shouldn’t exist, spending without stop, attacking fossil fuels, and bringing us on the verge of WW3

    Not true at all, you aren’t making any sense.

    This whole thing might be the biggest win for the ideals of free speech in the last decade or two.

    No, it means it's dependent upon info or circumstances not available to everyone. Price manipulations, which his off again on again attempt to buy Twitter was the very epitome of, is very included, or should be.

    The public had enough information to buy and hold Twitter on 7/8.

    First, it’s 7,500 people. My husband has been following this extensively. They have hundreds of coders making 200K minimum. Twitter needs a team of programmers, not hundreds.

    Bull, the "joke" was that people would put photos of their lunch online, which they actually did.

    I don't recall any interactions with you in the past but I'm certain you are an Orange Jesus groupie based on this post.

    I will not longer engage with MAGAs but thanks for playing!

    Sure that’s not a problem.

    How about this one

    How do you know what they have now and what they make and what they need in the future? I work for a company which has hundreds of programmers and we are desperate for more. They'd laugh in your face if you told them we just need one team.

    Twitter helped protect most of the left's major socially destructive directives by not allowing righties to even debate them in an open forum

    Burn everything to the ground and start fresh

    And I don’t think anyone has much of an issue with this. It just gets sketchy when the definition of “violent” gets twisted into “anyone we don’t like”.

    For example, BLM. They are far more violent and have caused infinitely more damage than the Proud Boys for example. But take a guess who is deemed violent and who isn’t? I don’t agree with either of them but there has to be consistency.

    Same as Trump. He’s banned yet leftist politicians who have spoken even more violent rhetoric and hate have not been banned. Kind of weird. People have been accused and banned for being racist or sexist but there are so many anti-white and anti-male posts on Twitter all the time. There is no consistency. Musk will clean that up.

    LOL. You still think he is doing this to "clean up twitter" by opening it up for fringe groups?

    I think he's going to remove permanent bans and allow for more dialogue and discourse. So if I say "trans women are not women" that no longer should be a banable offense. Lefties will have to deal with that statement now. No longer should you be allowed to hide behind platform removal.

    So they’re giving the Taliban an exception but not Milo the gay conservative activist whatever his name is.

    And you wonder why we call their subjective TOS biased bullshit?
