Big Tech's Election Interference - Jim Norton on JRE
Like the #TwitterFiles, but for US government.
Musk’s claims about Social Security fraud were false, like Trump’s.
Neither is likely to retract or apologize, nor will the U.S. DOGE Agency acknowledge the egregious error, but Americans must know we cannot trust either to tell the truth.

Everything Is the ‘#TwitterFiles’ Now
The #State Dept is using #ElonMusk’s playbook.
by Charlie Warzel
“Let’s be clear about what’s really happening here. A high-ranking member of the #Trump administration is turning federal-government #data—in this case, State Department communications—into a political weapon against perceived ideological enemies.”

For several people who received or saw the document, the broad requests for unredacted information felt like a “witch hunt,”…one that could put the #privacy & #security of numerous individuals & organizations at risk.
Beattie, whom #Trump appointed in Feb to be the acting undersecretary for #public #diplomacy, told #State Dept ofcls that his goal…was a “#TwitterFiles” like release of internal State Dept documents “to rebuild trust with the American public”….
Senior #State Department official sought internal communications with #journalists, #European officials, & Trump #critics
#Trump appointee Darren Beattie requested records regarding a large list of high-profile names, organizations, & #RightWing buzzwords for a “#TwitterFiles” style document dump about alleged conservative censorship.

We need some #xitter users to sue Elon for a 1A violation as he is seemingly a direct assistant to the president still making content moderation decisions. This is the exact shit they complained about with the #TwitterFiles. Has anybody brought this up?
Careless People is like The Twitter Files but for Meta.

The Twitter Files Playbook Comes For The US Government
ExTwitter users spin elaborate red-yarn-on-corkboard conspiracy theories, and Musk treats each one as revealed truth. The result is a government increasingly run on paranoid hallucinated fever dreams rather than expertise

The shutdown of #USAID feels similar to the #TwitterFiles. The organization has a long history of helping cover for #CIA operations, but I'm sure it also does a ton of good. Depending on your news sources, you're getting a very biased view of what they did. Why they are so important vs why they were so corrupt. Also whether it can be legally shut down the way it seems to be happening. And AFAIK only Elon and his friends have access to related secret docs and are spinning the reporting on them.
the #MAGAts have discovered that public government databases are public and are having a field day pawing through data they don't understand to accuse people they don't know of committing crimes they also don't understand (specifically "money laundering" is the new bogeyman).
here's #BillAckman declaring it obviously corrupt that political offices subscribe to a political news service via money from #USAID (except, of course, the data he's looking at makes it extremely clear the money is not from USAID).
it's very clear where this is going: #ElonMusk and co. are going to get ahold of #CIA and #FBI internal records and use them to gin up outrage akin to the #TwitterFiles nonsense and then use that as an excuse to kill the agencies.
"Everything is a conspiracy when you don't know how anything works."
p.s. wait til they find out how much money the government spends on subscriptions to newspapers...

@csstrowbridge @arstechnica Where on the spectrum does the government censorship fit on your sliding scale. #twitterfiles
Elon Musk swore to you the #TwitterFiles wouldn't happen again.
Then the Trump campaign called asking him to censor the JD Vance dossier. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/10/11/us/politics/elon-musk-donald-trump-pennsylvania.html?ogrp=ctr&unlocked_article_code=1.RU4.gINW.HWHQrr931src&smid=url-share
L'arrestation de #paveldurov est purement politique. La même grosse ficelle du combat contre les contenus illégaux est une fois de plus utilisée. On trouve ces mêmes contenus sur des plateformes comme #whatsapp et pourtant #markzuckerberg ne semble pas faire l'objet d'un mandat d'arrêt en France. Pourquoi ? Parce que #zuck accepte les demandes de censure de la France qui sont très nombreuses. Les #TwitterFiles montrent leurs véritables intentions. Faire taire les "complotistes".
@rameshgupta @MoiraEve @asymco Tesla cannot compete with the supply chain of Chinese battery manufacturers.
Probably looking for another handout. That dude is well practiced at extracting money from the government for reinventing the wheel.
I will say that the #twitterfiles are a good dev. Even though there's nothing groundbreaking about the technology behind spaceX, if it gets us into space in a big way, great.
Otherwise, fuck you Elon.
