    I’m sorry I wasn’t listening. Just staring at her Adam’s apple. I’m more offended he chose a Chinese last name than he chose to be a woman to be honest. How dare you…

    The liberals are angry because they can’t silence conservatives anymore using Twitter.

    There is a thin line between content moderation and censorship and, official information and propaganda.

    Wu, that “content moderation” is political, you know it I know it everyone knows it… it is an agenda of the left to censor the right.

    I have to wonder how he will deal with China. It’s a big Tesla market and some of what goes into a Tesla comes from China. He’s liberal about complaining about the U.S. But not so much about China.

    This so-called lady criticizing papa Musk talking about his empty promises because he wasn’t able to deliver certain things on time. I would love someone to ask her what she has done to make the world a better place compared to Elon what contributions has she made to our planet and to humanity besides putting on some lipstick and criticizing others?

    Only the left should be able to post on Twitter. If those 50 and 60-year-old people didn’t lay seige and scale the DC Capitol walls on Jan 6th, 2021, maybe it would be different.

    Twitter was the gateway for everything that hit the news and didn’t make the news…that’s how all the liberal news outlets had the same talking points. The 1st. Amendment is crucial for a true democracy to survive.

    Take note that Bloomberg is not a reliable news source that has your interest or the interests of free speech in mind. It hides its pro-censorship position behind amplifying and showcasing guest speakers that advocate for bloomberg’s narratives, in this case increase content moderation on twitter “for the kids” or to “stop the trolls” . Do not forget the decisions that this media company is making. Do not forget.

  37. The Architect

    April 30, 2022 at 11:03 pm

    Well, we all know why Bloomberg created this pop up ‘media’ platform and that was specifically to manipulate the narrative to bolster those that Mike deemed fit.
    Ok, so threatening someone on the internet is not the same as in person.
    There’s those that’ll scream it is the same but the fact is it isn’t.
    But, someone comes to your house or goes after you in public without a good reason, that is illegal and state and local laws have been in place long before Twitter.
    The thing with Twitter is it’s all fake. Almost everything on it is opinion and BS. It’s a platform of whiners and virtual wannabes. It’s also bias to the user. Hypocritically, the moderators ban anyone they deem unworthy and allow the worst to remain without recourse.
    This is perfectly ok because Twitter isn’t a necessity and it isn’t a have to have. Someone banned means nothing because it is nothing.
    Twitter is as important as MySpace and we all know what happened to MySpace.
    Just saying.
    Goes for all these SM platforms. They’re all unnecessary and a means to keep everyone distracted from what the bad actors are really doing and they’ve been busy.
    One more thing, trolls are generally far left extremists and rarely a right wing advocate. That’s the beauty of being a Right wing leaning person. They don’t need to make idle threats. They go straight to the source and confront them head on and that can be seen right now as evidence. Elon Musk

    Aww she’s worried about harassment? She didn’t seem to have a problem with all of the harassment and death wishes against Trump and other Republicans. She seems perfectly fine with the death threats against the Covington kids and Kyle Rittenhouse. Didn’t bat an eye at the death threats against me.

    But I say one thing they don’t like that isn’t against any rules and they permabanned my twelve-year-old spotless account and give a completely false reason.

    Fuck off with that. I hope you end up destitute and I hope every one of your allies is cleared out like the Vermin they are.

  44. urthpainter

    April 30, 2022 at 11:54 pm

    Mind boggling that anyone can think silence or removal of information solves anything – these trends can lead to True censorship and potentially (an attempt) at proscribed speech laws – attempting to force people to say things polite. The problem? Once that line is drawn? It can be moved by people with less than noble purposes.

    Life isn’t fair! When did this notion get lost? Life is hard! For everyone! Yes, it is way harder for some people due to circumstance, and I would not argue that – but people gotta be more resilient, stronger and no wilt under words. Use words to fight back!

    Not a left vs right problem….then why did you only ban those on the right?

  47. Claiming Light

    May 1, 2022 at 12:18 am

    Reasonable people, regardless of political standing, should be able agree on censoring some things. Like outright terror campaigns, threats that rise to the level of criminal assault and malicious actors who aren’t arguing in good faith. And if you’re going to have an anonymous communication platform, getting that moderation right is absolutely essential.
    But as it stands, Twitter’s failed to get it right. We need to try something (and someone) different.

    May 1, 2022 at 2:05 am

    Hello Bloomberg;
    You DO, of course, realize that brianna Wu has misgendered and then blocked both AFAB and transwomen *ON TWITTER*
    and was even dismissed from moderation duty on a transfemme forum due to toxic behavior.

    Brianna Wu has also body-shamed people as well as attacked people on gender.

    As far as Brianna wu holding herself out as expert in a variety of fields…well, fact checking shows otherwise

  53. Zen Masta

    They are tone death, but they have to raise the alarm and pretend that things are going to get so much worse on Twitter now and ruin free speech when it was already ruined years ago by the left.

    One look at that “woman” And you can tell she is a radical liberal idiot and then she begins to speak enforcing that paradigm. 😏
    As far as Elon musk goes, why he is Tony Stark he doesn’t care what they think because he knows what’s going on, that’s what makes him so freaking great!!! 😀

  57. Miles Lee

    May 1, 2022 at 4:00 am

    It’s incredibly funny and ironic as well to listen to this woman criticize the policies of the richest man in the world, maybe even the richest man in all of history. Then she says the censoring of Trump was an alt right versus normal people situation. Huh??

    Elton Musk hasn’t had a hit since “YMCA” (which was misspelled on the label of the Fool’s Gold album).
    To think he can set a new hit-record record NOW is quite a stretch, considering the costs of impression.

    May 1, 2022 at 3:04 pm

    Yeah her I ideology never came into play at all🤣🤣🤡 every move she made was politically motivated, then try to remove anybody who didn’t agree with her points of views. Now she’s worried about the same thing happened to her oh boo-hoo you’re no victim Brianna and this really has nothing to do with you.

    the guest host, underestimates Elon on optimus robot and FSD Tesla has not worked yet as his promise. Elon is always being mocked for whatever he’s done, and over the years, Elon proved it . His EV Tesla and Space X reusable rocket was once the subject of mockery by this kind of people like this Guest Host… When you hate someone , your eyes only focus to negativity

    Bloomberg Technologies follows other media sites in decrying the purchase of Twitter by Elon Musk. Bloomberg is claiming that there is no censorship of conservative voices. A hogwash award goes out to Bloomberg.

    That’s why we have a block button some of these newer generation people need to grow some tough skin Twitter stop being snowflakes if a person talks to me bad on the internet or in person I basically don’t give a damn now if they touch me it’ll be a totally different story

    Censorship by Leftists is what went wrong with Twitter. – Musk is going to fix this. This dimwit is just mad Twitter can’t suppress opposing (and accurate) … I guess these people can leave Twitter if they don’t like it… Crime will still be illegal… indoctrination will be more difficult….which is a great thing for our country.

    The fact that Emily Chang believes someone like Briana Wu is disconcerting. It really makes you wonder what skeletons are in her closet.
