The media latched on to the basement rather than addressing coded language, they focused on adrenocrhrome rather than address human trafficking. They ignored the circumstances of Epstein's suicide and used his death as an excuse to bury his client list and Ghislaine Maxwell's continued existence.
Lies by omission would include denials of the false elements in an otherwise true story.
Epstein's client list and the Panama Papers leave no doubt: our elites are more evil than a goodly person can imagine.
Working people have been made collateral damage by a dysfunctional student loan system.
Don't the working class taxpayers actually wind up footing the bill for the discharged loans of the upper classes' failed progeny when loans are forgiven?
Lying liars lie, so I shouldn't be surprised, but I'll be damned if that isn't the exact opposite of what the policy does!
It might disrupt corrupt governments like those in the US and Europe spying on their peoples though. However, I'm pretty sure Twitter has a backdoor for them, because otherwise they'd shut it down.
I find the idea of there being a backdoor quite likely. That would mean PJW is off-base by virtue of the government still having direct access.
I also suspect Elon might be trying to drive the AI farms to negotiate payments for scraping rights than anything else. Twitter's data would be extremely valuable fodder for training Large Language Models, and Elon probably wants a cut. Cutting Google services out of the loop would be part of this, since if they're providing cloud services, they are in a position to demand payment from Twitter for hosting the very data set they're sampling.
No matter how you cut it, user convenience will be a casualty. Not that it matters: the users are the product-- not the customers.
Mental Outlaw lays out the other half of the Twitter Rate limiting situation, noting that the rate limiting and requirement to log in is a necessary prerequisite to pay-walling the site.
I don't see his analysis and Paul Joseph Watson's as being mutually exclusive. A "Both/And" situation where both of them are correct is entirely possible.
Paul James Joseph Watson's take is that unlimited access to Twitter ending prevents the kind data scraping needed for comprehensive AI analysis and real-time narrative control.
I don't think he's wrong. The idea of government backdoors more or less negates PJW's optimistic take.
I also think there are going to be a host of unintended consequences, but the blue bird deserves a good throttling.
If it's free, you're the product.
The ad markets collapsing proves that social media addicts ain't worth paying for.
Twitter crashing and burning, Reddit catabolizing its mods, Meta losing several billion in market capitalization: the snake can't eat its tail fast enough to stay full.
Selective enforcement and legality for the left boil down to: "It's fine when we do it."
If they didn't have this double standard, then they'd have no standards at all.
