He needs to be careful to not involve politics in any way shape or form into firing decisions because it is indeed illegal in CA to fire people for political beliefs. But I'm sure he knows that. The cartoon's author doesn't.

wait for it lol

First he will show his grey npc face views on free speech. Then he will show you he's a cuck too.

If in a month or so I apply to twitter, do you think it would help if I put "Murica!" at the top of my resume?

I have a link to https://patrick.net/memes at the top of my resume.

Either some leftist will read them and throw out my resume, in which case I got them to read the memes!

Or someone more tolerant of truth will be interested in interviewing me.

I'm OK with either outcome. Still don't really need a job, but Twitter sounds like a very interesting place now. Going to wait a few weeks before sending my resume there in hopes that they clean out HR soon.

HOLY SHIT! One of the two Data People fired by Elon today :

His box had Big Mike's Junk in it!

Who wants to wager?

Musk is controlled opposition.

I don't have to wager, I know. Have pointed out his fucked up family and NWO connections many times.

Or were the laid off twitter employees a troll?

That begs the question, is Trump controlled opposition? Or was it a big mistake of the deep state to let him run?

I'm not sure.

Liberal ideology is unrecognisable. Whereas classical liberalism meant that each individual is free to speak and act as he sees fit, in the 20th century liberals started claiming that their "open society" has enemies. And the freedom that these enemies have must be restricted and cancelled.

—Vladimir Putin

Putin is clearly right about this, whatever else you might think of him.

And Twitter was at the forefront of cancelling everyone who disagrees with violent leftist woke ideology.

Elon should hire Alex Jones to run Twitter public relations.

I say the powers that be are always playing good cop/bad cop with their puppets. They also play the audience so that the population differs 50/50 on who is the good cop and who is the bad cop to keep them from uniting, and fighting each other instead.

Trump and Musk are essentially comic actors. Entertainers. Who knows how much money they really have but they’re both playing the part of eccentric plutocrat. Enjoy the show!

A new hidden-camera video by Project Veritas--published January 11--features "nine current and former Twitter employees" admitting to "steps the social media giant is taking to censor political content that they don't like," according to Project Veritas.

The video opens with a montage of damning quotes before showing those quotes in context. Far from being less damning when seen in context, they are more so. The video focuses on something called "shadow banning."

Abhinav Vadrevu, a former software engineer at Twitter, said, "One strategy is to shadow ban so that you have ultimate control." He added, "The idea of a shadow ban is that you ban someone, but they don't know they've been banned because they keep posting, but no one sees their content." On the psychological side of the equation, this creates a situation where the users just think their posts--their ideas--aren't appealing to anyone. "So they just think no one is engaging with their content when in reality, no one is seeing it," Vadrevu said. He admitted that the practice "is risky" because "people will figure that sh*t out." He also said that it would cause "bad press" and that "it's like, unethical in some way, you know? So, I don't know."

Olinda Hassan is a policy manager in Twitter's Trust and Safety Department, which she describes as "controversial." Her team makes the rules and regulations for the platform's millions of users. They are the gatekeepers. As Hassan explained, Twitter is "working on" a way to silence certain people and ideas on the platform. "Yeah, it's something we're working on--where we're trying to get the sh*tty people not to show up," she told the undercover journalist, adding, "It's a product thing we're working on."

The Project Veritas video shows Mo Norai, a former content review agent at Twitter, saying, "Let's say if it was a pro-Trump thing and I'm anti-Trump, I was like, 'I banned his whole account.' It goes to you, and then it's at your discretion. And if you're anti-Trump, you're like, 'Oh, you know what? Mo was right, ft'ck it, let it go.'" Norai went on to say that "discretion" --which he described as "I guess how you felt about a particular matter"--plays a huge role in what content gets banned at Twitter. Norai said that during his time at Twitter, left-leaning posts that were tagged as possibly offensive were allowed to remain. "It would come through checked and then I would be like, 'You know what? This is okay. Let it go.'"

Pranay Singh is a direct messaging engineer at Twitter. He said that the suspension of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange's Twitter account may have been because of "the U.S. government pressuring" Twitter. He said, "They do that." In fact, he said it happens "all the fucking time." In Assange's case, he said the U.S. government doesn't like "people messing with their politics, and [Assange] has sh*t on a lot of people."

Singh helped explain the types of tweets that are likely not to make the cut. "Just go to a random (Trump) tweet and just look at the followers," he said. Those followers will "all be like guns, God, 'Merica, like and with the American flag and like, the cross." He said the way to get rid of those users--all of whom he assumes are bots, not real users, because, "Like who says that? Who talks like that?"--is to "just delete them." But since "there are hundreds of thousands of them" and that volume can't be handled by people, "you got to, like, write algorithms to do it for you."

Perhaps most shocking is the statement by Steven Pierre, a software engineer at Twitter. Speaking on hidden camera, he said that Twitter is developing a way to automate the whole process of what gets seen and what doesn't. "Every single conversation is going to be rated by a machine" that will decide whether the conversation is "positive" or "negative." If it's negative, "They may have a point, but it will just, like, vanish," he said. When asked whether this would "ban certain mindsets," he said no. "It's going to ban, like, a way of talking."

If that isn't Pravda, nothing is. Between filtering, banning, shadow banning, and manipulating what users see, Twitter is dangerously close to a thought-control platform.

Let's not forger that Twitter is an American company headquartered in the land of the free, home of the brave and unlimited dollar printing matrix, run by leader of the free world. Just saying. Sometimes its interesting to look in the mirror.

My post is sarcastic.

Ahh, got it.

Morally depraved, shifting sands situational Lefty lack of ethics. Tone deafness to any realistic notion of free speech. Goebbels blaming your opposition of that which you are guilty. I guess it was a profitable gig while it lasted. What more country destroying ethos could one desire than the old Twitter?

Unfortunately, this is not limited to North America. Its occurring in Asia, Europe and Australia too.

Let us see if Musk continue to suck Hindooo dick for money.
Hindoo will give him all the toilet building money as long as he oppress Sikhs freedom of speech.

Elon is going to have fun denying golden parachutes to Twitter executives. I think he will win, he got the money and the facts to prove fraud.

govt funded "news"

Elon dressed in a Baphomet costume with an upside down cross. While I enjoy the apparent establishment shakeup and riling of the woke, I never forget this guy is NOT my friend.

I don't see an upside down cross.

I tried to get the reddit pic, but sometimes those post them as web page files, which aren't supported on patnet. Reddit also has a onion site now, so posting the link wouldn't work for most here I'm guessing.

You could do your own research...

Twitter Complaint Hotline Operator Elon Musk Restores Mark Finchem’s Account After Being Locked Out Days Before Election

Elon Musk, the new “Twitter Complaint Hotline Operator” — as listed on his profile’s bio — took action Monday after Arizona Republican secretary of state nominee Mark Finchem’s Twitter account was “locked” from “speaking truth”, days before the November 8 election.

Finchem posted a screenshot on Truth Social of a notice he received from Twitter that said his account was temporarily placed in “read-only mode” for allegedly violating the platform’s rules.

“Twitter has blocked my account from speaking truth with one week left until the election. They are trying to put their thumb on the scales of this election. Tag Elon Musk and tell him to unban me right now. I am the Secretary of State nominee in a swing state running against the criminal Soros-funded candidate,” AZ State Rep. Mark Finchem wrote on Truth Social. ...

Looking into it — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) October 31, 2022

Less than an hour later, Finchem was able to post to Twitter again and thanked the Twitter Complaint Hotline Operator.
