Goodbye Twitter
No wonder pedophile pic traders are allowed on twitter, but those exposing them conservatives get censored or banned.
They KILLED 3000 of my fellow NYers in buildings that I worked in and loved.
I want my vengeance.
I want them bankrupt and run into the ground. I want Iranian missiles filling their skies.
I hate Iran but it would still make me happy.
Prince Ganjaweed trying to buy his way out of what is going to happen.
Also the pedos.
Yep.
They hated Trump.
Removed several threads during the campaign in the last few days. Still hide things they don’t like politically. Twitter sucks.
But they allowed thousands of child porn threads to go on and banned the person informing the FBI about it.

Trust & Safety just means that evildoers can trust Twitter to keep them safe from discovery or punishment.
True to form, they used the witch hunt rule - something that only has been used to protect leftists, never to ban them.

Profit history of twitter?????

Where is the brand value for the core product?
The Saudi ownership element has the power to strangle the product by exerting control on the staff. Of course, there are probably a large number of willing dupes on the staff, so providing a guiding hand on the tiller at Twitter should be doable.
What and who owns GAB?
