Holy shit, "In His Latest Threat to Public Safety", that's in the actual headline. I want this to become a trend.
EDIT: I want the trend of calling out Elon on his bullshit in the headline. It is a threat to public safety because blocking people stops them seeing your tweets, and using mass tagging apps to do so reduces your profile to groups of unhinged right wingers. When you get their attention en masse they might hurt you because they create basically all of the domestic terrorists, and everyone is a member of the public. This isn't difficult to figure out, guys. If you can't understand it then you don't want to.
But go off, tell us more about how much you hate the lying press.
Overexaggerating headlines online? I thought that trend was as old as news sites itself.
Right? It isn't "public" safety, because you have to be like 4 layers deep to be in danger.
"Public" refers to people just "walking around", uninvolved I'm whatever is going on. So to relate to this it'd be like, "uninvolved Twitter readers being followed home"
As old as the press, really.
