Jack definitely messed up with that one, I don't know what he was thinking was going to happen. First thing Trump does is talk to his lawyers, oh course it's going to bite twitter in the ass.

Things like this reinforce my believe that Jack is sort of a smart but bumbling dude who really is trying to be a good person. Compared to other big tech company execs who communicate less but come off more like evil masterminds and schemers.

I think some good comes out of the whole thing, if we get a law or ExecOrd in place that clearly states that online platforms can't "massage" their content the way they have been. But it can be tough to write such a law because of the way some of these sites work

wait thats mine

I've said it before a couple times, but it seems that the Chinese and HK government are pretty much directly playing out the 1989 protests.
I'm not an expert, I only have the basic western understanding of what is happening now and what happened in 89.
It seems like they are just saying: "the government didn't do anything wrong, the protesters did everything wrong and are criminals. Stop protesting now."
I don't understand how they expect that to work. The things that the Chinese and HK government are saying just seem ignorant and inefficient to me, if they were more conciliatory I think they could have a better chance for a good outcome.
It's just like: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/April_26_Editorial

But again, I only have a western point of view. I don't know how the government messaging looks from an Eastern point of view, maybe it makes more sense to you.

One example of the western point of view from the last decade is the Ferguson Riots. Right around five years ago*. Anyway, a bunch of rowdy n-words got stirred up by Soros assets and burned down a couple dozen buildings.
No one in the government said: "These rioters are criminals, the police did nothing wrong, go home and stop protesting". They would never say anything like that (though in that case, they would have been right to say those things).
Basically everyone in the government had to make ameliorating statements about "broadening the conversation" and "demilitarizing police" and whatever buzzword of the day would calm down the protesters but in the long run not mean any concrete action. The western way is completely superior IMO, tell the people what they want to hear and then do whatever you were going to do anyway.

*In fact, I had graduated University and was living at my mom's house in St Louis at the time. I was listening live to the police reports on a radio, watching livestreams, and browsing
