Now it will only take 73 years before they go broke.

Pocket change for them. Perhaps so, but probably not for stockholders.

Yes, because even people here cant help but posting threads with links to Twitter even after they banned POTUS. All that site is, is mostly rumors and bs with leftist loons attacking everyone who is not a Stalinist.
Any “news” on Twitter that’s accurate can be found other places. Time to stop using that cesspool as a source.

Twitter has lost ~ 17% of stock value since Dec 22
Facebook has lost ~ 11%
Google has lost a mere ~ 1%

Hopefully the trend intensifies

Fantastic. Keep pushing back folks. Buy your products directly from real product companies other than purchasing it at Amazon. Do NOT use your Amazon credit cards. Pay off you balance and never give them a dime. I quit shopping at Whole Foods and will find products I have previously purchased there and buy them elsewhere. Watch as little on YOUTUBE as possible and subscribe and watch Rumble channels.

Take these dictators DOWN!!

Anecdotal evidence is even my dear wife is becoming wary of Facebook and they’re far reaching big brother ism

She still spends a good majority of her day there

I’ve been very careful in my life the only place I exist is right here at free republic

Several companies are looking to hire me and her doing extensive background checks and all they’re going to find on Facebook Twitter Instagram is my dear wife and what she says about us

Smart eh ?

Even if they somehow tracked me down here at free republic where I’ve been since about 1995 I have never said anything here that I don’t mean 100%

Yep, thanks for the correction. I saw it as soon as I posted. Sure wish FR has an edit feature, if only for a few minutes.

The CEO’s of Twitter and Facebook will willingly take the market loses in exchange for what they know will be the long term gains of being the “official mouthpiece of the government”.

The US is only about 22-23% of all Twitter users worldwide.

Keep in mind that worldwide users don't equate to money. There's a reason that U.S. consumers are so targeted whereas many of the overseas users are in effect subsidized by their U.S. counterparts. A drop in U.S. Twitter and Facebook users has a significant impact on their advertising rates. Worse, as they jump to other content providers, it's a double hit.

twitter is toast.

If twitter and FB can delete the dark web then they would impress me. If they can turn off the .onion sites then they have actual power. They can’t.

If you are a career wonk, I’m beginning to even suspect LinkedIn. There are an awful lot of leftists posting there. An article not long back praised the idea of a universal guaranteed income. Doesn’t look good.

Never used twitter. I’m now moving to GAB social media away from Facebook. Unfortunately many of my friends still use Facebook. Hopefully over time that will change.

I’ve never used twitter either, never understood the point of it. I may have incidentally signed up a few years back to get a specific news feed, but have never been active on it.

Just deleted my FascistBook account the other day. They don’t make it easy to do it. If you want to do so, make sure you DELETE your account, not deactivate. They’ll try to steer you into this direction, but continue on to deletion.

How much is Dorsey worth? How much is Zuckerberg worth?

Should any sane person think that they care? It’s investors money, not theirs. Both sites shit down tomorrow and they’re both billionaires, times over.
