Except they weren't in the public interest. What in Zod's name is "in the public's interest" about pictures of a private citizen's genitals? It doesn't matter one iota who he is related to, because Hunter Biden isn't in politics!

I hear Twitter is filming a TV commercial with Eddie Murphy. Here’s the BTS of the film crew at work:
View: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=E6yFlIQxp8g
I saw his rant about the Oscars in that scene, saw how his costar was trying not to bust a gut while trying to perform as 'awkward' instead, and figured "That is such an Eddie Murphy line, it has to be an ad-lib." I went to look it up and, sure enough, improvised. One of several of his improvised lines that made it into the final cut. There's a reason that man has had star power for decades, despite a lot of career missteps.

I think what's "hard to understand" for a lot of us is how the TOS gets applied. Well, as I mentioned before, it's not that hard to understand anymore. It's whatever Elon feels like doing. He is truly the rightful king now...

sadly, I think we've reached the point where the rwnj troll world is self sustaining in the US. Looks like Russian involvement is mostly in terms of steering the Repub party. But the nutjobs and hatemongers seem to be domestic ...

I'm pretty sure Conde's lawyers need that, want that, and are downright eager to both accrue the billable hours involved in that AND cram those billed hours down Walsh's throat, should he or his equally odious employer be stupid enough to get into a position where he can be put on the hook for them.

On the other hand, they are probably more likely to be able to help with editing TikTok videos on your phone, or editing Instagram shots, or showing you how to do anything at all on phone apps with no user interface whatsoever.
Maybe I can muddle through it on my own using trial and error, or I can ask an average teenager and have an answer in seconds.
It's not an age versus tech thing. It's a simple matter of familiarity.

You have to wonder about that dude being here for twenty-two YEARS and making comments like that, tbh. It can't have been a fun couple of decades.

I think you're underestimating the call to sheer nihilism a lot of people--particularly infosec-capable people, and even more particularly relatively young ones, not that we know "Doomed's" age--feel.

Are you implying that technically savvy and ethically ambiguous young people would do something... just for the lulz?

I just read a densely typed page full of words, words that mostly cohered together about as well as fat globs in a bowl of soup, but ultimately conveyed only that "Pictures of Hunter Biden's penis are of public interest."

One, you are weird.
Two.
Obama, Hillary, and now Biden.
Republicans have for each one of them been in political power including with the DOJ and yet have done nothing but scream and whine.
If there was anything worthwhile that they did that was illegal right wingers would put up, but they never do.

You used "nuance" and "Musk" in the same sentence, silly wabbit.
This ban happened because it was embarrassing to Twitter. I reserve comment on the character of Mr. Walsh.

More insane than declaring that being able to see the President's son's dong is in the public interest?

While Twitter is a private platform and they can suspend any account for basically any reason at any time, you can't really circle this square with the idea of "free speech absolutism" where the CEO of the company defined that as anything that isn't explicitly illegal. In this case, it appears that a journalist was banned for embarrassing Twitler by pointing out how shitty Twitter security is. Whatever someone's opinion about Mr. Walsh, and whether it was karmic justice that his account was compromised is rather besides the point.

In this case, it's primarily about Matt Walsh, a self-described "theocratic fascist" who has built an entire cottage industry out of anti-trans hate. "Anything remotely right of extreme left" my ass.

Based on a quotation, it sounds like cell phone cloning was exactly how it was done, along with some social engineering of someone who works with Walsh.

Tell me why should I not hate him?
Should I not hate the racism his lets go on in his companies?
Should I not hate him for the sexual advances on his own employees?
Should I not hate him for enabling child porn?
Should I not hate him for meeting every sign of a horrible abusive boss?
Should I not hate him for enabling impersonation?

Twitters new ToS should just be "Free Speech for me but not for thee" I am so glad I never got invested in that hell site. So many friends and colleagues are lamenting what's become of the platform and I feel for them but it clearly is not getting better.

Oh but the New Right making a point of licking Putin’s boot at every possible occasion just to stick it to the libs (but also because they actually like the guy) isn’t insane somehow?

Which is more likely: that everyone else around you has changed, or that you, like a lot of incurious people do as they age, have gotten more bitter, fragile, fearful, and reactionary?

Then stop whining. And, for the record, this is mostly a moderate community. There are far left members, balanced out by knee-jerk alt-righters (look in a mirror).

Unless something changes, I can’t see a benefit to Ars leaving Twitter, but getting on Mastodon is a good idea for everyone, whether a person hates Twitter or loves it.

Remember the NPR "government funded" kerfuffle? Musk's lie. Well, he just removed the government funded label from a host of Russia Today accounts! W.T.F.
Hope this gets the negative attention it deserves.

I'm in the process of leaving Twitter (until and unless the current pro-hate stance changes) and trust me, it's not easy. Mastodon is many things but a direct drop-in Twitter replacement it is not.

PM me some proof when you do, and you'll get a shiny new Ars sub.
