Aye, totally skewed or misleading headlines often without direct links to the stories, even if people could be bothered checking. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barry Ferguson's Hat Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 On 31/12/2021 at 15:29, ICTChris said: I saw this tweet around the time it was first posted and again when I went through that twitter feed, but the other night I was having wild, Covid-induced fever dreams and for a period that could have been 20 mins or could have been 2 hours, this was literally the only thing I could think about. As such I've taken on a whole new, and much deeper, appreciation. There's just so much going on and not a single word is wasted. I know the sentence 'For sale; baby shoes, never worn', widely attributed to Hemingway, is often regarded as the best short, short story ever written, but I genuinely feel that, pound-for-pound, this takes it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTChris Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 sounds like very weak reasoning being given for banning Ali. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genuine Hibs Fan Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 56 minutes ago, ICTChris said: sounds like very weak reasoning being given for banning Ali. Skipping over the fact a cursory look at your man's account there suggests that he is both a Web3 and Jordan Peterson guy who is into "virility" and whose thoughts are therefore immediately suspect, a few comments: Having worked in a social media company in an area very close to moderation it is very unlikely the reasons given re RT'ing accounts are the whole story. Rather than being a conspiracy, however, it is much more likely what the CS advisor in question decided would have the most chance of A - making them go away or, if not possible, B - wind them up. There of course is a wider question to be addressed urgently around accountability and transparency of social media companies. Until that time, however, the Ts and Cs are a pretty good guide for what not to do! Off the top of my head he did multiple things which could have led to a suspension - hiding links in replies so as to avoid misinformation markers, spamming gambling ads without making it clear it was advertising, Covid "misinfo". Creating a disruptive business, which by it's nature has to try and bend or break the rules its ecosystem, completely dependent on Twitter, a platform which while free can knock your account out at a moment's notice, is an interesting choice. Especially when the people you are upsetting are some of the most bitter and mendacious people on earth - British journalists. Like most social media influencers, because ultimately that's what the accounts were, he was playing a stupid game; and has now won his stupid prize. This new turn in the creator economy, recreating and diluting other's work for a population with endemic ADHD, as PfA did or the recent Mr Beast Squid Game, is extremely depressing and will lead to far more cases like this because, ultimately, people don't like their work being stolen for bigger audiences by snotty terminally online kids. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
