Interesting, I remember years of libs ruthlessly mocking right-wing users (and the lefties who agreed) for thinking Twitter and other social media was dangerous. Now all of a sudden we all agree social media is dangerous because the guy who owns one of the services is openly a shill rather than quietly like Dorsey was?

I'm a lefty with a working memory who knows authoritarians are not to be trusted no matter what side they claim to be on. It seems like the most obvious position a person can hold but people are struggling with even this...

Yes, people are openly concerned about the world’s richest man making active threats that threaten democracy more than your made up perceived bias. Garbage take.

I guess I at least agree that we were naïve with regards to Dorsey and way too slow to realize Twitter was a threat. Looking back now it seems like it was bound to go to hell eventually, and if we look beyond the west it already went to hell a long time ago. And even in the west the tipping point was arguably years before Musk bought Twitter, it was just that people were too addicted to accept how dangerous it was.

So I guess you could criticize people for only realizing now how fucked up Twitter is. Then again, better late than never.
