The “Readers added context” feature is the only good thing about Twitter.

Responses that completely destroy the original argument in a way that leaves little to no room for reply - a targeted, well-placed response to another person, organization, or group of people.
The following things are not grounds for murder:
- Personal appearance ("You're fat", "You're ugly")
- Posts with little-to-no context
- Posts based on a grammar/spelling error
- Dick jokes, "Yo mama", "No, you" type responses and other low effort insults
- "Your values are bad" without any logcal or factual ways of showing that they are wrong ("I believe in capitalism" - "Well, then you must be evil" or "Fuck you you ignorant asshole")
Rules:
- Be civil and remember the human. No name calling or insults. Swearing in general is fine, but not to insult someone else.
- Discussion is encouraged but arguments are not. Don’t be aggressive and don’t argue for arguments sake.
- No bigotry of any kind.
- Censor the person info of anyone not in the public eye.
- If you break the rules you’ll get one warning before you’re banned.
- Enjoy the community in the light hearted way it’s intended.

How old is this conversation?
I don’t expect Elon to have the various store policies memorized, but shouldn’t an employee be aware of this shit? Why is he being schooled by users?
Maybe he fired the “policy advisor”, too.
It’s 3 days old. You joke, but I wouldn’t be surprised at all if he fired the policy advisors.
Lol I wasn’t joking!
The fact that this is blank makes it ten times funnier
Elmo doesn’t run ideas past people. He’s reached the no-filter point where he just posts whatever he thinks of as the next twitter policy. He’s done that pretty much since Day 1 at twitter, and he was getting close to that at tesla.
There’s a theory that the drugs he was reportedly doing to stay awake 23 hours a day while the Model 3 was a non-shipping supply chain disaster (which threatened him with the loss of a multi-billion dollar bonus, iirc) gave him a speed induced psychosis. He was always an arrogant prick who used lies to con people, now he’s someone with a decompensated personality disorder on top of that.
I believe his lack of content moderation has already led to several violations of european laws which are making their way through the courts.
He will simply walk it back once they’re actually threatened with having their app pulled.
I’m a slow learner. Sometimes, like now, I’m caught expecting Twitter to run like a sane business.
The one on store policies is wrong. The section people point to is actually about developers of the app having the ability to block specific users from using the app.
