I see the "reisinstate Ye!!!" is going well for Elon.

Put it to public vote you coward...vox Populi, vox dei.
The "punishment" Musk gave was a 12 hour suspension.

--------------------
"
Replying to one Twitter user, who asked him to "fix Kanye", Mr Musk replied: "I tried my best.

"Despite that, he again violated our rule against incitement to violence. Account will be suspended."

Later, Mr West reportedly posted a screenshot showing that he was locked out of his account for 12 hours on Truth Social - the social media platform created by former US president Donald Trump.

It comes as the parent company of alternative messaging platform Parler announced that the rapper would no longer be buying the platform.

"Parlement Technologies would like to confirm that the company has mutually agreed with Ye to terminate the intent of sale of Parler," the network, seen as a home for online extremist rhetoric, said in a tweet.

It said the decision was made "in the interest of both parties in mid-November".

Parler had announced a deal for Mr West to buy the platform popular with conservatives in mid-October, just over a week after the rapper's Twitter and Instagram accounts were restricted over anti-Semitic posts he made.

But the rapper, who has spoken openly about his struggles with mental illness, has seen his business relationships crumble in recent weeks as his erratic behaviour and extreme speech continue to raise concerns.

Launched in 2018, Parler became a haven for Donald Trump supporters and far-right users who say they have been censored on mainstream social media platforms.

It has since signed up many more traditional Republican voices.

Parler was temporarily removed from Apple and Google app stores last year for failing to moderate calls for violence after the attack on the US Capitol by supporters of the former president.

He doesn't have the money anymore. He's broke.

Dublin already has two open investigations into Twitter that predate Elon Musk's arrival as the company's CEO. Irish Data Protection Commissioner Helen Dixon told POLITICO last month that her office would be "probing" the company's directors about the ongoing probes, including one in its final stages.

Have just jibbed Twitter. Was an early adopter (2007, I think). Have been thinking about for a while, but how it’s gone in the last few years, and then the last few weeks have made my mind up.

Prior to Trump, Twitter felt a bit like a self driving car (analogy intended), but since then, it’s felt like someone is driving and steering it. Trump in the 2015-2020 period, now Elon.

It’s still obviously pretty left wing, but the topic of conversation was being dictated by Trump, and now Musk, and his intention is clearly to bring more far right voices into the mix, and honestly, I just don’t want to hear it.

A few years ago I was proper addicted to it, it’s been less so in the last year or two, but am expecting some withdrawal stuff to occur.

Will have to start listening to more new music or reading books or something.

You can choose who you follow though, no? Surely that means you choose the kind of content you consume and the discussions you have?
