IRONY KLAXON - Musk's Twitter Takeover

 

Certain sections of Twitter have had a hissy fit over Elon Musk's takeover of Twitter, they claim that this will damage free speech.

What they actually mean is that Musk will allow tweets that contradict the narrow and rigid views of these individuals, ie views and opinions that they don't want to read and don't want others to read.

Musk To Tusk?

 

 Now that Elon Musk's offer for Twitter has been accepted by the board, will he rename it Tusk?

Advice To Celebrities and Other "Personalities"

Tweeting your innermost thoughts is not necessarily a good idea.

Don't EVER Trust Social Media Companies!

Twitter admit to using people's phone numbers (submitted for security checks) for advertising purposes:

"We recently discovered that when you provided an email address or phone number for safety or security purposes (for example, two-factor authentication) this data may have inadvertently been used for advertising purposes, specifically in our Tailored Audiences and Partner Audiences advertising system. 

Tailored Audiences is a version of an industry-standard product that allows advertisers to target ads to customers based on the advertiser's own marketing lists (e.g., email addresses or phone numbers they have compiled). Partner Audiences allows advertisers to use the same Tailored Audiences features to target ads to audiences provided by third-party partners. When an advertiser uploaded their marketing list, we may have matched people on Twitter to their list based on the email or phone number the Twitter account holder provided for safety and security purposes. This was an error and we apologize.

We cannot say with certainty how many people were impacted by this, but in an effort to be transparent, we wanted to make everyone aware.

No personal data was ever shared externally with our partners or any other third parties. As of September 17, we have addressed the issue that allowed this to occur and are no longer using phone numbers or email addresses collected for safety or security purposes for advertising. 

We’re very sorry this happened and are taking steps to make sure we don’t make a mistake like this again. If you have any questions, you may contact Twitter's Office of Data Protection through this form."

DON'T EVER TRUST SOCIAL MEDIA COMPANIES!

The "Brave" New World of Twitter

Sadly the "brave" new world of Twitter only allows journalists and commentators to report facts, if those facts align with the political views of those on Twitter.

That is of course not at all "brave"!

Twitter Diplomacy

Twitter diplomacy is more effective when the "Caps Lock" button is off!

Twitter

Twitter should be regarded as an arrow in the quiver of tactics for those who campaign for change, or simply seek to promote themselves or their business.

Transference

When a nobody tweets his/her insanity via the net, little harm is done to others except maybe to the handful of people who might follow the nobody.

However, when an insane person in a position of power and influence tweets his/her insanity that insanity is transferred to millions via his/her followers and the media.

This is not a healthy state of affairs for the world.
