You need a role model? You think everyone should be a role model? You decide who should be a role model? Investigate yourself

Because you are 74 I understand. I'm 70 and it goes down hill fast.

"It's a private company sweaty, they can do what they want"

Interesting.

So, you weren't upset with the rest of the rightwing crowd who threw hissy fits when Twitter, you know, the same PRIVATE company, kicked Their Orange Haired Messiah into the smelly dumpster. Right?

PS: It's "sweetie", by the way.. "sweaty" is what happens when people throw lots of silly hissy fits!!

It's amazing how someone can be wrong about so many things all at once.

It's been literally a week, there is lots of coding and crap that goes into this. They basically "unlocked" everything, see where it broke and are trying to fix it.

Software Engineer with 15 years coding experience: Bullshit. Putting aside testing on an offline version, this is a one day job for one competent engineer.

But they were banned too: https://twitter.com/realedmarkey

The issue at hand is the checkmark used to mean the account was trusted and the information accurate. The parody/impersonator should not have been able to obtain it in the first place, as combined with using the Senators name would indicate the account was genuine.

Hence the rightful concern that Twitters new verification system is allowing fake accounts to more easily impersonate others (which again: Not protected by the 1st Amendment).

That is completely different reasoning from your first post where you appeared to be under the impression some impersonation is allowed.

They obviously agree that incorrect verifications shouldn’t be happening considering Twitter stopped allowing new sign ups to Twitter Blue.

you can't fix something until you know it's broken. As someone who has been a hobbyist engineer for 20 years, you don't know what breaks until you run it.

Musk took the rev limiter off of twitter and now they have to play cat and mouse until it's "sorted"

In this case, it's not the code that's bad, it's the way that users are using the platform.

Dear Senator Markey,

Kindly mind your own business. It's not your place or responsibility to tell a private citizen what to do with his property and money.

I love that no matter what side you support we all agree the American government is a sh*t show. That is the true uniter of the people.
