    ***** hat feminist, check.

    WEF chairperson, check.

    Mask and vax obsessed, check.

    Exec from one of the most woke networks in the country, check.

    Woman, check.

    Elon just destroyed Twitter and betrayed everyone who came back to the platform to give him a chance. They will censor you to get advertisers back and then Elon will divest.

    Shouldn't you wait for that to actually happen before declaring it a done deal?

    What could a woke **** gonna do to twitter? What did the last woke **** do to it?
    The old management was all woke all the time. The assumption here is that Musk will just let her undo everything he has done to make a buck. If that was all he had been worried about, why would he have done the stuff he has already done?

    Maybe he will let her take the company woke again, but I am at least willing to give him the benefit of the doubt until it happens.

    I’m not saying it’s a lost cause. But woke ****s do woke **** stuff. They can’t help it. It’s gonna be interesting how they navigate that.

    I’m now getting, “must login to see tweets”… apparently it’s not isolated.
    I’ve never had twitter, so this is something new.
    Probably the new beotch wanting to limit TC’s reach.

    Data scraping? Never heard of it.

    Companies will take all the information and Twitter has to pay for anything that comes in or goes out. Apparently porn bots and govt agencies do a lot of scraping. By limiting the number of things a non paid user can see also limits how much data transfer is taking place.

    *This is a very uneducated and truncated response that I read on Twitter.

    It’s a bad enough problem as it is. Pretty much all the big data companies scrape data from other web sites. And those are usually just writing scrapers for specific websites. But add in AI crawler bots trying to learn everything on the internet. I can see why that’s a problem.

    What kinds of data are they after?

    For finding “everything”, like you’d do for AI learning it’s considerably harder. It would have to be a web crawler similar to what search engines use to index information on pages. But with these bots they’d save the whole content.

    How do you become the richest man in the world?

    Well, one way is to socialize the risk so that when your promises and big plans don’t pan out someone else takes it on the chin.
