It's probably not the best idea to piss people off who do a free job on your platform unless you want to start paying them?

Twitter has been progressively getting worse. Speaking as a doom scroller, things like reliability fails more often, the people you actually follow are buried somewhere in the algo, you see more paid blue ticks who are collectively thick and it's end to end adverts.

Fuck meta though.

There must be a case that he's genuinely trying to destroy the platform, which in its heyday was a very effective rallying point for the left-liberal end of things.

Police Women are fine, they just need to be used properly. Don't send them to massive street brawls where they're likely to end up just getting hurt.

You don't really want a Police Men dealing with a woman that has been the victim of rape / domestic violence, and considering how widespread that is, they probably need more Police Women if anything.

Literally heard it myself, but sorry it's so unbelievable that a promiscuous woman was also a police officer.

I have also heard from former officers (though it may have changed but given all the 'damning' reports into culture at forces I doubt it) that the work shagging is rife. Somehow that will be unbelievable to some although it has always been the case on the railway that when you add women into unsociable shift work it's often a recipe for an affair.

X, formerly Twitter, has been banned in Brazil after failing to meet a deadline set by a Supreme Court judge to name a new legal representative in the country.

Alexandre de Moraes ordered the "immediate and complete suspension" of the social media platform until it complies with all court orders and pays existing fines.

The row began in April, with the judge ordering the suspension of dozens of X accounts for allegedly spreading disinformation.

Reacting to the decision, X owner Elon Musk said: "Free speech is the bedrock of democracy and an unelected pseudo-judge in Brazil is destroying it for political purposes."

Musk isn't taking it well.

Goverments asking for tweets to be deleted/supressed has gone from a 50% acceptance rate to 80%. Ted Cruz' donor list was leaked, this is how it looks now:

https://i.imgur.com/Tpq8iyS.png

Anyone who posted said deleted tweets were banned until they agreed to delete said tweet.

You can say the N-Word but if I reply to said person saying 'Jump in front of a train' I am immediately told to delete the tweet and then banned for 24 hours starting from the time I delete the tweet.

If you just tweet the word Cisgender you are warned for hate speech and you are added to a list of supressed accounts meaning you can never appear in the 'For You' page.
