Well well well, if it isn’t the consequences of my own actions.

    Maybe. But the fact is that it was used by people in uprisings. It is a powerful tool for the people. There is a reason why wealthy people from the middle east backed and funded musk taking it over. They wanted to take away a tool used by the people in revolution.

    It probably contributed to a lot of stupidity and human suffering, but it also could have been used to great effect if us common folk could have learned to wield it appropriately. The rich and powerful were afraid of it, that alone should tell you that it’s death is a bad thing.

      Exactly it was allowing us lower class a place to try hold large corporations liable.

      I remember using it to call out large corporations when some franchise fucked up. 9 out 10 times the issue was addressed.

      But a lot of people use it to organize.

      Musk wants to destroy any tool that would aid people to rise up.
