Yep, sounds like Elon and the Saudi's have achieved their goal of crippling Twitter's utility as a means of organizing large scale protests and uprisings like the Arab Spring or the BLM protests in 2020. Now all that's left are propaganda bots and various flavours of right wing extremists.
Oh shit
TikTok has filled that void, for now.
Oh no :(((((
If only there were a plethora of alternatives people could turn to… but no, Twitter is the only thing oh well
I didn't say there weren't alternatives. I said Elon and the Saudi's achieved their goal of crippling the biggest. I guess reading comprehension isn't your strong suit, eh?
