He has also proposed opening up Twitter’s algorithm to public review so that, in theory, users could understand how it makes decisions. Under his ownership, Musk has suggested, Twitter would treat content more permissively, pivoting away from content removals and account bans. Musk’s main critique about Twitter today is that it is too restrictive. He has argued with characteristic bombast that Twitter, and his bid to own it, “is extremely important to the future of civilization” because the world needs an “inclusive” digital town square that abides by free-speech principles.
Musk, an eccentric billionaire with a history of courting controversy on and off Twitter, has personally pitched the acquisition in soaring rhetoric. Musk takes control of the digital town square Musk didn’t respond to requests for comment for this story. “Musk’s Twitter takeover is a flashing red light on why the centralization of our online spaces in the hands of a select few billionaires is so dangerous.” “His purchase of Twitter to take it private makes an essential service even less transparent and more unaccountable,” said Adam Connor, a former Facebook employee and vice president for technology policy at the Center for American Progress. In becoming Twitter’s owner, Musk has suddenly collapsed many of these threads into one, right as lawmakers around the world seem poised to make some very big decisions about how social media ought to work. Musk’s deal to buy Twitter sits at the confluence of multiple ongoing societal debates, including about the power and influence of billionaires the impact of mis- and disinformation and the responsibilities tech platforms owe to their users and society, and what new regulations should back them up. And Twitter’s agenda-setting power seems to be precisely what interests Musk, and what makes his control of the platform so potentially disruptive. More than two-thirds of Twitter’s US users say the platform is an important - if not the most important - source of news, according to the Pew Research Center. So why, exactly, do the stakes feel so big? The answer boils down to the outsized influence of Twitter on public discourse, and the uncertainty of what happens when the world’s richest man - who revels in his unpredictability - gains singular control over that influence.Īlthough Twitter reported just 217 million active daily users last year, a far cry from the billions reported by rival Meta, its users include highly influential politicians, business leaders, entertainers, activists and intellectuals - public figures with large followings who in turn shape the public discourse surrounding politics, media, finance and technology.

Also, *how* close were you to turning 18? Like a week? A month? Who cares bruh, 2 year age gap? You parents probably have an age gap 5x as big” writes one user.ĭream is yet to respond on the topic as we wait to see if any fresh evidence supporting Anastasia’s claim surfaces. One thing to note, the community however does not resonate with Anastasia as the majority finds nothing wrong with these texts as none of them are inappropriate while there is a handful who believe them to be fake altogether. She has also mentioned that Dream engaged in relationships while being with his now ex-girlfriend, thus claiming that he cheats with his minor fans. The worst of flirt that I recall was on Snapchat and obviously those delete.” she writes.
It crosses the line when he’s sending me his huge house/inviting me.
“None of it is appropriate for a ‘fan’ and influencer to be this close, especially since I was still 17 and in school and he knew that. In the texts exchanged, it can be seen that the pair engaged in romantic conversations, however, it cannot be confirmed that the person on the other end is Dream. The tweet comes with screenshots of Anastasia talking to Dream via Snapchat and iMessage. Archived thread of experience with ⬇️- burner October 13, 2022
