Yes you’re right about public image and a company wanting to preserve it. And I might be a little hyperbolic about what I’m saying. But really if it was just public image along with their ads, they would delete/(stop using) all of their accounts to show that they didn’t want anything to do with Twitter as long as they had hateful content on there.
Parlor and Facebook more so Facebook was use to organize the protest but Facebook didn’t receive the same action against them. Yes you’re right that I’m all over the place putting all those companies together. All that has happened in each of their hearings was finger wagging and back door talking to show further evidence, which didn’t amount to anything in the public eye.
Yes, I corrected myself in another comment. And I appreciate your contribution to society. But what I was really bringing light to were the radical progressives of today that are making decisions that are leading to the United States, debt, increasing, therefore leading to inflation. Open borders and helping people in need sounds good, but the US cannot feed the world.
I decided to look up the quote again, it’s real but not accurate in reflecting the beliefs. Liberalism is less government and more private property, progressivism is wanting change, and conservatism is wanting tradition and things to say the same. All three definitions are how they were once described but do not reflect today’s meanings of each word.
Would I need to live in California or New York to worry about high prices, poor education, rampant drug abuse, a Shitting on streets epidemic that requires poop patrol to clean up the mess, and widespread homelessness/ tent cities just to name a few? Asking for a friend.
Would i need to be living in one of those states to have my current beliefs?
I understand market manipulation and antitrust for example Amazon has had many antitrust and market manipulation cases levied against them for their so called market competition.
It’s to early to state facts so it’s a given that most things mentioned this early would be opinions.
Correct me if I’m wrong but the saying comes from the responsibilities people have at different ages and not a hard and fast rule. When you’re young you’re likely more progressive and you’re not the one having to work and worrying about how far you can stretch a dollar. When your older you’re more conservative because you’re having to work and pay for all your expenses which at that point you want less government taxing you to pay for liberal shit.
Edit: Liberalism of the past and what’s today are different today’s Liberals are extreme progressives in disguise. So, I may have conflated the two.
I was using the context of the main post and responses.
Just like stereotypes, there’s a thread of truth to it.
There’s a saying “when your young if you’re not a liberal you don’t have a heart and when you’re old if you’re not a conservative you don’t have a brain”.
I don’t see how this is a right wing left wing issue don’t all celebrities do things for money?
First my point was to prove Elon had a point that most, not all, corporations are bad and out to get him. We ended up on different economic systems and their associations to government and business. Finally you proved my point that some corporations are bad, so in my opinion these companies that have it out for Elon, Rumble, and other free speech platforms should be looked at for the real reason for them pulling ads in a colluding manner.
Yes, that’s correct but a year or two back he did liquidate some of that money and to pay taxes. I thing he’s the record holder for having to pay the must taxes at once by a single individual.
No, his more of a Steve Jobs, in that he knows how to get the right people in a room and get investors to invest in his companies.
No, American is capitalistic and within that system exists things like corporations. Corporations don’t always benefit a capitalist society for instance if a corporation tries to buy output isn’t competition, make it harder for competitors, and manipulate prices to undercut competitors.
Edit: also corporations being able to lobby against the American voters such how Disney threatened to do in Florida.
I’m not trying to be rude or close minded here but before Elon Musk, Twitter was a left lining platform, and there was blatant proof of right wingers being banned or censored on the platform. Before he even took off for the platform, a lot of people are gunning for him, and for the company to fail under him simply because he wanted to make it open for everyone. I don’t agree with all of his decisions, but considering the circumstances that he was in when he took over the company I don’t see what else prove my point, there was even leaked documents, showing FBI involvement and censor in American people which is a first amendment violation.
You feel you know it all but are unable to prove where I’m incorrect with facts and not your opinion in doing so haven’t proven anything.
With or without people monitoring twitter you’re still get that type of content on any platform. You can only reduce the chance never completely stop. The point is you would have to be in those groups following those feeds to see that content.(allegedly) If it took Media Matters having to follow those groups for hours and then following Disney or any other company to show that, then twitter is working to make it harder for that to happen. If this is about a company’s image, even if a Nazi account would happen to see ads in their feed unless they were out her telling you, you would be none the wiser. I highly doubt if they did the same thing on any other left lining platform that towed the line, would there be the same reaction?
