Davkaus Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 From a software perspective, it's honestly not worth it, it's next to impossible to get away with. Nothing can go to prod without reviews and passing validations, and even if you have permissions to get through that (or a collaborator), anything can be rolled back within minutes from source control, so it'd have no long term impacts and would likely lead to legal trouble They could leak data, but could get into all kinds of legal problems and ruin their life for the sake of a parting "gotcha" There is physical sabotage. Again, is it worth a potential prison sentence? Probably not. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The left are outraged and the right are loving it. Presumably, the left see Twitter as a place where they have enjoyed seeing their own prejudices and political opinions re-echoed, which brings them a sense of certaintly and security. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twitter is your own echo chamber, its the same for left andf right alike. Both sides deliberately filter out all the sensible moderating influences and jsut follow people on their side and butt heads with the people on the extreme of the other side. There is no difference for left and right 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davkaus Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 People don't hate free speech, the truth is much more simple than that. People just hate Elon Musk. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davkaus Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 As an aside, while they no longer have time to deal with the spamming of racial slurs, the team do have time to specifically target a congresswoman who got into an online argument with Musk, and had her approved checkmark removed. He's such a **** clearing in the woods. He's like a bratty kid who's never been told no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
