With Musk owning Xitter

[Dr. Shepper]

What risk do you think of him turning over names of anyone who has ever been critical of MAGA to the new regime? Including before he owned it?

1. good luck

With that. He's an idiot frankly he can't even run his website efficiently. It can't even handle a live stream. Can we stop pretending this guy is a "genius"?

It would too much of an undertaking and not really doable anyway.

2. Those types have that info already. It was public.

3. I'm so damn glad I quit that shit show

the minute he bought it. Why anyone stayed is beyond me. Then again, so are most things these days. 🙄

4. Never registered... Okay, I registered an account for my dog when it became difficult to view content (twitter days)

--without an account. I don't think Musk has closed it down even sans any posting. Long defunct email used to register...

Not to add to the paranoia, but I'm likewise glad I went through the hoops to become a confidential voter that can't be tracked that way.

Now, we need to work with EarlG and Elad to make sure that our identifying info here cannot be hacked and traced to archived or recent comments.

Paranoia isn't outrageous when malintent has been advertised.

5. The names are there for the taking.

Most accounts are real names, you don't have to look too hard. And for the fake names, there are 3rd party services that for a nominal fee give you the real name. You're not nearly as anonymous as you think you are on Twitter.

6. I've never ever owned a Twitter account. . .

. . .or Facebook or Instagram, for that matter.

I don't swim in dirty water.

7. he literally stated he "bought a crime scene"

Given the close coordination between prior Twitter ownership and government experts fighting against MAGAT & Russian disinformation, you can clearly see which way the wind is blowing and what TSF & Musk's intent is:

imprison people fighting against disinformation

They will also imprison scientists, block masks and vaccines, and allow further Russian incursion.

We must double our resolve to protect Ukraine and Democracy. Biden and Harris must use their final days in office to create as much protection for science, women's health, and real information as possible.

8. Extremely likely.

9. That is one of the reasons I left last year

I just hope that "deleted" means deleted forever.

At one point, didn't he threaten to release the DMs (direct messages, private messages) of someone or some people on that platform?

10. Worry more about Facebook, if you're going to worry about that

Many people lay out their whole lives on there, including relationships and domestic details.
