#1 An just 6 months ago they threatening to quit if Musk purchased Twit.

Looking at it differently.... Musk laying them off, allows them to collect unemployment and maybe get severance packages.

#4 You can always form a corporation and seek funding to buy it. Good Luck.

#6 Make them defend their jobs like in office space. Ask lots of follow-up questions how circumventing the US founding documents and censoring people, how gleefully doing things the Nazi's and Soviets approved of is a good thing. Send them home crying.

Then don't fire them, sell the whole company to Trump.

#8 If public conversation on this scale must exist, it cannot be regulated. Just policed maybe, for when people put up pørnograpghy or their cat murdering videos. But the discussions, political voices, actors... they can't be denied or promoted by the platform. In India, we came down hard on twitter right after they zucced the Trump account. Their operations and permissions were stripped to minimal and they are forced to share all user data with the government, under threat of a ban. Around the same time, we banned several Chinese apps and games so they knew we were serious. We strongarmed them into letting the right wing do all sorts of propaganda and shut down Moslem and commie accounts at will. In fact, twitter sued a state government for harassment and forcing it to shut hundreds of troublemaker accounts which were Søros bought commies or Islamists. The dreaded TO (takedown order) has become a pain for twitter here.

These bastards need to be put in their place from time to time.

Many of these so-called 'social media' platforms have Deep State and intelligence community tentacles. I cannot see the Orwellians handing over such capabilities.

#10 They're such hypocrites, but the Indian government wrote the manual on hypocrisy 😋. They push the freedom of conversation as a basic right but deny the medium to politically cancelled individuals and parties.

An Indian judge told them, you cannot apply your American 1A here in a complex society. The freedom of expression varies in degree from society to society and is not universal. You play ball with local authorities or lose the biggest user base you have.
