Exactly, but Macron had in the past defended n put those ppl under the free speech umbrella, unless it was someone ridiculing him in which case he'd prosecute

Excerpt:

Quote:
Twitter's US advertising revenue plunged 59 percent year over year during a recent five-week period, The New York Times reported today. The firm's US ad "revenue for the five weeks from April 1 to the first week of May was $88 million, down 59 percent from a year earlier, according to an internal presentation obtained by The New York Times."

Owner Elon Musk said in an April BBC interview: "I think almost all advertisers have come back or said they are going to come back." But internal projections are grim, according to the NYT report. One internal forecast cited by the NYT predicted that Twitter's US ad revenue in June "will be down at least 56 percent each week compared with a year ago."

Twitter "has regularly fallen short of its US weekly sales projections, sometimes by as much as 30 percent," and that "performance is unlikely to improve anytime soon, according to the documents and seven current and former Twitter employees," the NYT reported. "Twitter's ad sales staff is concerned that advertisers may be spooked by a rise in hate speech and pornography on the social network, as well as more ads featuring online gambling and marijuana products, the people said."

With Twitter's current debt ($13 billion I believe), and with it's current valuation, Twitter now actually carries negative equity

He's so brave standing up to the discrimination of cis white males that has gone on for too long.

Musk challenged Zuckerberg to a cage match and Zuckerberg agreed. Zuckerberg is pretty good at Brazilian jiu-jitsu and was won some metals . Dana White has talked to both of them.

elon banning the word cis has done nothing but helped people to become more aware of gender identity than anything else.

Wasn't he a farmer at his relatives farm in the prairies and a logger in BC?

Either way I thought this was a joke when I saw it on reddit didn't think it was an actual thing

sounds like Dana White is going to put in on and all the money is going to go towards charity. Dana claims this will be the biggest pay per view of all time

Imagine all the cheesy crossover from platform taglines

"You think you can block me? I'll block you first!"

"That punch was worth at least 10 Likes"

"Your fighting ability is about as real as your total number of users"

Bleh I'm making myself sick now.

Twitter was down last night when I went to bed, so I don't know how long it was down. But I was wondering why, and the reason (and excuse) are hilarious

Twitter is also not allowing people not signed in to see tweets. I guess that means no embedding in websites?

Twitter is dead.

In fight news, GSP offered to train Musk and he agreed. That may sound like good news but Zuck has been training for years with coaches.

Greece has also offered the coliseum for the match.

When I saw the news, I couldn't believe how stupid Twitter's new read limit policy is.

The previous staff cutting and such were killing the company from the inside. And now it is killing itself by killing its user base too.

The ads are total trash now and I'm getting the same set of 12 or so ads all the time. Far as I can tell very few real businesses are advertising on Twitter now.
