The Twitter Files, Matt Taibbi.

So many writing about Elon Musk releasing the Twitter docs to Matt Taibbi. It's a fascinating read and it's far from over and I'm not fully up-to-date on it.

Here's the link, starting at Tweet/Thread #1 and on it goes. And it's to continue until it's over, I guess. 

Let's hope this breaks the monopoly of Big Tech's stronghold in politically manipulative Social Media.

Elon is right, there must be transparency and accountability.

Don't hold your breath. Lower expectations and be encouraged when a hit lands.

On a side note, I'm reminded of the South Park episode "Skankhunt42," where during late night sessions, Gerald Broflovski (of ALL the characters, they pick him - 🤣 everyone thinks it Cartman), trolls and cyberbullies other in SP on the internet as "SkankHunt42," which is also the title of the episode. If you like SP and haven't seen it, check it out. If you've seen it, it's more relevant today than when it was made.

Here's a preview. (Turn up the audio using the speaker icon before hitting play.)

4Chan trolls laid off workers of HuffPo and BuzzFeed?

NBC News: Laid off HuffPo and BuzzFeed targeted by 4Chan?

The threats are part of a coordinated campaign organized on the far-right message board [4Chan].  Shortly after he tweeted the news of his own layoff, Nick Wing checked his inbox at HuffPost[.]
[.]
Wing was one of many journalists who were let go by BuzzFeed and HuffPost this week and were sent death threats from trolls organizing their efforts on the far-right message board 4chan. Many of those targeted by the harassment campaign did not cover the far-right, including Wing, whose beat focused on inequality and guns.

I've been on Al Gore, Junior's Super Info Highway for a long time. Too long. I've never heard anyone describe 4Chan as a "far-right message board." To be fair and clear, I've never heard anyone refer to 4Chan having any political identity other than representing "all political voices". Is 4Chan "far-right"? Did I miss this all these years? Did you?
