A missed opportunity for what, the Verge does not say.
But reading between the lines, they mean it was a missed opportunity for the largest censorship and propaganda program in human history, so we can only be glad they dropped the ball again.
Also, Linda Yaccarino, the CEO of Twitter, is an utterly useless woman, but you already knew this.
@Aether@Awoo@Suzu it would be a lose-lose for them. Either they would have to let the states censor according to their desire ( which means no trannies ) or they would have try to make up some bullshit about how censoring that is bad, but their censoring is good because <X>
@Awoo@Suzu They are scared that some red states may actually do something on censoring porn or fag shit and force a High Court free speech ruling that will prevent the panopticon the system is trying to create
@Aether it's pretty interesting that the threat that censorship tools can be used by conservatives to censor libshit stuff is the only thing that really prevents those tools and laws of having "total support" from the part of ONGs and "privacy advocates".
@Aether@Awoo@Suzu and the X is increasingly hard to justify as they crack down harder. The whole "hate" thing is hard to justify and the whole "but this is a weak minority you can't tell them not to do things" is hard to fly with when tranny pushing is all over everywhere
