Just my own experience but the majority of my pebkac issues are not from crusty old people but from impatient sales managers who tend to ignore error messages right in front of them while clicking refresh at a million mphs expecting something different to happen.

So i dunno. It's possible that Elon has decided to start using twitter to openly and brazenly silent dissent from his political detractors but given he said free speech was the entire reason he spent however many billions on buying twitter, it could just be that the computer dun have a moment. Occams razor and all that.


I think Occam's razor would be that it was just a coincidence that there were issues at that time.

Implying? Nothing. I stated it pretty directly.
I guess I'm mostly wondering what your point is. I'm not a republican, but I'm not a Democrat, either. They both do shit that's unpalatable to me.

Even if he did brick her account, he could easily unbrick it just to be able to say gotcha. And how is she still tweeting if her twitter is broken?

Modern political discourse sucks so much. Elon is probably the king of political team games right now and so many people are falling in line

Based on our research, we rate FALSE the claim that Ocasio-Cortez has a net worth of $29 million. Her most recent financial disclosure shows her with assets between $3,003 and $45,000, including a 401(k) plan, and student loan debt between $15,001 and $50,000.

She is not at all rich.

Being a politician does not mean you are rich nor does it mean she is being paid by lobbyists.

She's simply not rich. Your inability to read the article I posted does not change that.

Youre right. I forgot.

politicians in this country are blue-collared folk who make modest amounts and accept no money from lobbyists. I hear that they accept a steady diet from the McDonalds dollar menu.

weird to defend a politician who spends all her time Tweeting and/or taking the House floor to complain that the GOP called her mean names - and that an attack on her is an attack on all women in America

You seem to be suggesting that immature and easily-debunked preconceptions don't hold equal argumentative value to an actual link with actual facts and figures to back it up. Sure sounds like censorship to me.
