You didn't even need the last paragraph, it was already clear who was who or what was what. I wouldn't be surprised if this really happened, exactly how you wrote it.
He absolutely talked about the sites numbers being artificially high due to bots when he was buying it, even tried to use it to get out of the legal obligation to buy it.
We’ve also seen his gutting of the moderation system cause a huge influx of bots and bot interactions, not to mention other stuff that advertisers don’t want their ads to be next to.
Like he really has played him self and is having a temper tantrum at having to face the consequences of his own actions.
Why is it always piss with these guys man. Why can’t they just enjoy being pissed on in peace in the privacy of their own homes instead of coming out and pissing over all and sundry
Does banning API access actually make viewership of ads worse because users/botters now have to parse webpages directly, and therefore load ads without viewing them?
Well, he's deranged. There's some terrifying repercussions for the US if he manages to win. You shouldn't even be able to suggest someone legally has to buy a product or service
Can someone clarify for me if it is me or Elon who does not understand capitalism? Because, can you really sue someone for not wanting to buy what you sell? What about the free market? What about supply and demand?
He also told advertisers to "fuck off " when they complained that the platform being a toxic Nazi cess pool was not something they wanted to buy advertising on.
I think the closest thing would be discrimination lawsuits?
Like, let’s say that a black guy runs a transport company in a rural, very racist state. He receives positive reviews for his service, but none of the 5 or so clients in his area will do business with him - meanwhile sub clients of those businesses actually wish he was the one working with them. He might have a case to say these business owners colluded to deny him a market in an unfair way - and that it was not just based around their “right to choose who they do business with”.
Of course, the history of Twitter has far, far more personal blame to it than the story of a black business owner facing racial discrimination. Just thinking about what general angle his lawyers may try in court.
