Elon Musk buys Twitter

[chff]

Twitter is enforcing its long-standing API rules. That may result in some apps not working.

Not sure I understand.

Twitter is being sued because users are contractually able to purchase ads and plaintiff was refused, thereby restricting their free speech?
It doesn't speak to Twitter or people's right to free speech, it's a technical contract issue?

My understanding based on the article;
Twitter says that their agreement with users gives them the right to reject ads.

This case is claiming that since such clauses violate the principle of free speech the court should invalidate them, based on the principle that a contractual agreement to act in a discriminatory way is not binding.

The Twitter mentions tab has never been truly reliable, but like the embedded tweet Archane is quoting says, it's gotten much worse lately. From checking my tweets directly I'd estimate I'm seeing less than 30% of my replies. https://t.co/wyKclmy5Ug

@Dan @jj1000 this may affect whatever service you're using to post to twitter

Starting today, Twitter will share ad revenue with creators for ads that appear in their reply threads

As a Canadian who sees CBC's journalism, I appreciate this tweet.

The whiners complaining are so pathetic.

If you want to 'appreciate' twitter labeling them government funded, maybe find an article about it to link to instead of a lewd juvenile tweet.

Twitter is complying with more government demands under Elon Musk
The company has not refused a single request since Musk took ownership, according to self-reported data.

Since Musk took ownership, the company has received 971 government demands, and fully complied with 808 of them.
Before Musk, Twitter's full compliance rate hovered around 50%; since the takeover, it is over 80%.

...

As part of the drastic reduction in Twitter�s employee count, Musk has decimated many of the departments that process government requests, which may have reduced the company�s ability to resist such orders. At the same time, Musk has made clear in interviews that his vision of free speech does not extend to legal requests.

�We can�t go beyond the laws of a country,� he said in a recent interview with the BBC. �If we have a choice of either our people go to prison or we comply with the laws, we�ll comply with the laws.�
