iOS Sucks, 16 Jul 2020Experts have already told us how these social media compani... moreTwitter to test pubic opinion and get useable statistics about Public's views on certain issues.

Then Facebook to form public opinion by pushing selective posts that not only affect people's opinion but not have too many people at a place on the same side. Conflict is good, it serves as a distraction for users from detecting they are being manipulated.

    Hilarious to see people fall for this.
    But What can you expect from people who already fell for the biggest lie of twitter purely being a social media company and nothing else.

      Carol, 16 Jul 2020If their are people who own Bitcoin and fell for that, well... moreYes indeed

        It just shows how stupid people are. To fall for those messages,unbeleivable stupid eveb when it comes from verified account, people greediness blinds any common sense, I am happy for hackers they did the right thing, it just shows how rotten society is.

              Free speech cannot be subject to what someone arbitrarily decides is "bigotry" or it stops being free. Your sincere beliefs may be contrary to someone else's definition of "bigotry" or "hate." Similarly, facts can be offensive to someone's beliefs.

              Suppressing free speech on a quasi-public forum is antithetical to a free, democratic society. So there....

                privacy is dead ... and has been for a while everything we like, share, comment, and search is tracked, logged, and kept on the server which will never see the light of day in public. these social media companies do nothing more than collect our data as is the case with TikTok. in our strive to be anonymous we are left with half-baked clones or just simply don't have a viable alternative, we will eventually get to a point ( if we are not already there yet. ) where everything we do from birth till death will be tracked, traced and logged and that is really sad to think about, just imagine anything we do is always being monitored being something or someone this is the end of privacy and people are easing into because there is no other alternative and even if there was it requires too much work to be practical. one quote i remember from my history class is that " if we forget our past we are eventually doomed to repeat such an example would be a baby if it forgets that an ice block is cold it will eventually see it again and repeat its action. the second quote is mine and it is that if you an ignorant in anything you will eventually be made obsolete. i interpret this as information/ FOMO, if you don't know or lack the latest news/information you will be left out in the dark. this is why i still social media apps on my phone cos lots of info is passed through it 24/7/365. keep you friends close but your enemies closer. think of the invasive privacy as something behind a door, you shouldn't cross into the door but instead put an ear on the door to listen in on the exchanges of conservation ( information).

                      To be fair the entirety of twitter is an incohesive sh!t show.

                        Well having an account on twitter were stupid but if this happens is even more stupid if people pay.
                        Everybody with IQ of 10 and above will know its a scam.
                        Noone gives money for free not even the jahve witnesses, church comunity or casinos across the world.

                          Well, it was on mr beasts account, which is quite realistic. I mean he didn't do stuff far away from giving money for absolutley free. But it's true, asking for some money before is questionable

                              Hahahaahaaaa .... billionaires giving away money. :-) These people are not even taxes due.
