"Something went wrong. Try reloading"

Man, we do need a public square.

American censorship has long relied on the manipulation model rather than the overt removal model, because the former is far more effective.

Also 500 for me. This is almost a joke.

At least if it's blocking me from viewing the tweet's comments, returns me some decent messages. But no, just a plain "Something went wrong." like a hackathon page.

I was skeptical, but this was a really good watch. Pity that it’s a video.

For the to;dw crowd: he makes the case that Twitter is by far the most useful social network to government agencies, because the graph is mostly public (unlike Facebook) and all users are both consumers and creators (unlike YouTube). Thus, it is being used by “researchers” and state departments to build what he calls “the Death Star of AI censorship engines,” and these moves to rate limit will cripple those efforts.

When people say "Elon is a cult" this video is exactly what they mean. Elon does something incredibly dumb and you immediately have people just making up, whole cloth, fantastical reasons why it's a 5D chess master plan.

It's comical at this point.
