No I didn't. That's where I copied and pasted it from. Figured it had more of a place up here than down there...or both.

Twitter executive calling Elon Musk mentally handicapped, "special" and saying he has "aspergers."
Wow, that's almost as bad as calling some random dude a pedophile.

Elon himself admitted to having Aperger's on SNL. Is that employee.... mocking a handicapped person?

Yeah, Elon's got it and if you watch the video, the guy is really insulting about it. It's actually pretty funny watching a guy getting caught in a sting talking down about a self made billionaire.

Gov. Hochul: "In the state of New York, we're now requiring social media networks to monitor and report 'hateful conduct' on their platforms."
Go ahead and defend this shit. I'll hear your arguments, but know this is a public official asking a private company to start tattling on American citizens based on no criteria, just their own bigotry and biases.

George Orwell is rolling in his grave.

Mom thinks her son was radicalized by social media.

She's probably right. And as a million things I've posted around here prove, it goes both ways.

Man arrested in the UK for causing someone to have anxiety over an anti-LGBQT meme he posted.

UK police commissioner isn't a fan of the arrest.

The guy was released without charges based on what I've heard.

Still...WTF is going on? We're arrested people for hurting someone else's feelings?

The # of instagram posers we saw in Paris and London was ridiculous. I just walked through their shoots.

Tom Holland exits social media for his mental health.

The more I read about him, the more I'm amazed at how well this kid is grounded.

Hidden perk of social media: Get to watch video of your children dying.

Why she was livestreaming is a mystery and why I put this story here.

I don't wish this on anyone.
