This is a reason for sure. The only reason? Who knows.

"Oh No!!", said 5 people worldwide. zzzzzz.....
To the Left, seemingly any logical opinion/argument opposing theirs is automatically coined Hate Speech.
I forget the numbers, but a lot of that influx of "hate speech" came from only a few accounts. Just another game of statistics manipulation.

No the hate speech is actually still banned. The terms of service are still there and nothing has changed in that regard. It's really not that free and probably never will be.
They are still banning and shadowing stuff. Some topics are still being removed and accounts are all restored yet.

The influx came from primarily bots and if I had to guess who had bots laying around after getting their previous accounts banned for being bots it was liberals who were using them to push their talking points and brainwashing.

I absolutely love Elvira.. Been a fan of hers for years. Loved her Saturday afternoon movies. Some of the most fun and cheesy horror movies of all time.
That said, so what.. She can piss off now. Take your whining some place else..

I never cared for her. The wife liked her. But I just never saw it. Never found her pretty, never found her hot. Never found her entertaining. She had big boobs that were somewhat exposed. That’s about it for me. And women like that are a dime a dozen.

Agree, but back then, when you had to rely on local channels for entertainment, her boobs did the job lolol

I relied on squiggle vision. The playboy channel occasionally came in “just enough” to see something good

Didn't have squiggle vision back then, or The Playboy Channel haha

Yeah, I always wondered if the Playboy Channel and Skinemax had satellite tech companies that also built channel descramblers. It would have been the classic self-created market.

Twitter will be okay. It’s financial and FTC woes started before Musk bought it. Twitter was losing $4 million a month and even founder Jack Dorsey apologized for saying he grew the company too fast. Meanwhile, user numbers have gone up. Advertisers who have paused their accounts can’t ignore that for long.
Musk will figure it out.
He's culling the dead weight jobs and the malcontents. That alone will stop a lot of the financial bleeding. What's more fun to watch is the outcry of disgruntled employees who are getting fired for publicly criticizing Musk since the takeover. Now, I've only worked for 51 years of my life and maybe I'm missing something here, but it seems to be a general rule that if you criticize the CEO of your company publicly (or even privately), that you might indeed be asked to leave your job and said company. I guess they're so used to the 'freedom of speech / freedom from consequences' paradigm that's been in place there for so long, that their heads are now exploding trying to absorb the reality that they just got [BLEEP] canned.

I agree you have to have a low tolerance for malcontents.
If someone is being consistently critical and not trying to be productive about it, you have to part ways.
But the rule of jerks applies. If you meet one or two jerks every day, that's normal. But if it feels like every single person in a certain place is a jerk, then you're the jerk, and you don't belong there.

That explains it. They've lived in an echo chamber for so long they don't know how to cope with the reality that there are consequences for being disrespectful. It doesn't matter if you don't like your boss or disagree with them. You respect their position of authority or you go somewhere else.
Or you can be willfully stupid and talk smack about them publicly and get fired publicly.
Elon Musk Gives Twitter Employees a Deadline to Stay or Leave (msn.com)
Elon Musk gave Twitter employees a deadline of 5 p.m. Eastern time on Thursday to decide if they wanted to work for him, and he asked those who did not share his vision to leave their jobs, in his latest shock treatment of the social media company.
Mr. Musk made the announcement in an early-morning email to employees on Wednesday; The New York Times obtained the message, which had the subject line “A Fork in the Road.” In the note, Mr. Musk, 51, reiterated that Twitter faced a difficult road ahead and offered employees three months of severance if they did not want to continue working there “to build a breakthrough Twitter 2.0.”...
...In his note to Twitter employees on Wednesday, Mr. Musk said they would need to work hard — very hard. “In an increasingly competitive world, we will need to be extremely hard core,” he wrote. “This will mean working long hours at high intensity. Only exceptional performance will constitute a passing grade.”
Engineering will be the primary focus, Mr. Musk added, with design and product management taking a back seat. He included a link to an online form asking employees to confirm their interest in working at Twitter...
Things sure have changed compared to how it was just a couple of months ago. Did these employees expect this fairy tale to continue from a company losing $4M a month?

Twitter needed an enima.. Elon is that enima lolol
