Who are you arguing for, and why?


I'm arguing for the people, who are you arguing for?


> and why

Anyway.

I feel I'm doing the same by promoting responsible disclosure of unethical treatment of people's data.

Did you even look at the guy's frigging Wikipedia page yet?! I just feel like we're talking past each other.

Reading through rest of thread...Is this a Musk-related thing for you?

Of course, but a Wikipedia page is not immune from bias nor does it provide unfettered credibility. I recall the same tactics and approaches being utilized in users pushing an agenda for Wikileaks, suggesting that they were basically perfect and incapable of doing any wrong and that Assange could do no harm. I don't give anyone a God-like status.

No, this is a personal experience kind of thing. I see this type of situation quite often where a topic will get people are riled up based on their political and personal biases and skew their critical-thinking ability to actually analyze the situation. If congress was actually concerned about people's data, they would have actually put forth efforts to enact some reasonable legislation that didn't just apply to whatever platform they feel the most censored on.


Right, wrong, indifferent, Congress sits on ass until lobbyists pay them to move, or someone shames them into action.

So, again, following you — but I don't even know if I care in this instance because the enemy of my enemy (Twitter & any other entity acting trustworthy with people's data when knowing you're not worth the trust) is my friend.
