People on Twitter are saying...

A lot of people are missing that it's per child and it's not just the ¥1m / $7500:

"The payment – which comes on top of up to ¥3m already available in financial support – will be offered to families living in the 23 “core” wards of Tokyo and the neighbouring commuter-belt prefectures of Saitama, Chiba and Kanagawa."

"A huge trove of secret government documents reveals for the first time how the giants of Western banking move trillions of dollars in suspicious transactions, enriching themselves and their shareholders while facilitating the work of terrorists, kleptocrats, and drug kingpins."

Wow. This is the first I've heard of that, but I've heard of crypto shenanigans endlessly. It's a distraction in comparison.

“People who voted to defund the police are now paying for private security.”

This is what happens when luxury beliefs are realized.

Gatekeeping. Modern elites do this a lot where they publically promote the opposite of what made them successful.

They're really going out of the way to ignore the obese elephant in the room.

> Being a landlord has become a more attractive investment

This is changing as we speak due to the interest rate. These investments are less attractive if you can get a safe 4% or higher return without having to deal with tenants and maintenance.

The government's #1 excuse for anything they want to do without having to actually justify it:

"Safety"

They must not be aware that this was a common thing before GoDaddy joined. It happens to most domains that get traffic? These domain buyers all suck.

Elon: "Tesla stock price is too high imo"

It's magic as long as you don't look behind the curtain!

Doesn't Medicare cover most of that?

Only if you're correct about them being a Mongol horde and not a rational actor, but their actions were predictable and were in fact predicted by professors years ago who understand the geopolitcal landscape and history of NATO.

Add it to the list of authortarian demands. Many have already been waiting more than six months for the US to drop the outdated Covid vaccine requirement.

It means that you're working to find a peaceful solution. It's no different from people who opposed the Afghanistan and Vietnam wars and pushed for peace.

People who oppose war were discredited by the regime then and they are being discreted today. News at 11.

For a time it was considered propaganda to push for peace. It was truly bizarro.

Then a few weeks later regime approved voices said we should consider peace and it was no longer considered propaganda.

When he realized it was too easy for people to not get the joke and were using it to hurt Tesla.

Similarly, here's a medical health expert talking about how he's a junkfoodaholic:

It sucks how everything is a political football instead of just doing the right thing. They had full control and could have legalized it. But no, they keep holding onto just to drag voters along every election.

Why are they contacting Twitter as the FBI in a backchannel to report potentially ToS offending tweets as opposed to the way we all report tweets to Twitter? Or indeed at all when they're not illegal tweets.

Imagine Trump is in charge of the FBI.

Is fascism closer to free speech or is it closer to censorship?

How much of that is him vs the media being impossible to defend at this point?

Were you more informed as a teen than you are now as an adult?

Or, more likely, when you look back at yourself as a teen do you cringe at what you believed?

I'm amused by the idea that developing brains in particular are being informed, rather than misinformed, by social media. Where did that come from in the age of misinformation and filter bubbles? Adult brains are misinformed by these bubbles, teenage brains are even more vulnerable.

The only problem here is collecting photo ID. Someone just needs to educate legislators on zero-knowledge proofs.

Or Apple or Twitter could proactively show how it's done. The app is already 17+ in the App Store.

She explained in the thread:

What many people call “shadow banning,” Twitter executives and employees call “Visibility Filtering” or “VF.” Multiple high-level sources confirmed its meaning.

“Think about visibility filtering as being a way for us to suppress what people see to different levels. It’s a very powerful tool,” one senior Twitter employee told us.

“VF” refers to Twitter’s control over user visibility. It used VF to block searches of individual users; to limit the scope of a particular tweet’s discoverability; to block select users’ posts from ever appearing on the “trending” page; and from inclusion in hashtag searches.

All without users’ knowledge.

“We control visibility quite a bit. And we control the amplification of your content quite a bit. And normal people do not know how much we do,” one Twitter engineer told us. Two additional Twitter employees confirmed.

Do they have anything about how they were blacklisting accounts, unbeknownst to the original poster?

The 4 stages.

It's not happening.

It's happening, but it's equally applied.

It's not equally applied and that's a good thing.

We already knew about it. Why is this news?

Thanks. I didn't realize there was a further breakdown from the 934,094 total and can't edit it now. Here's the exact breakdown.

medical & public health scientists: 15,989

medical practitioners: 47,278

concerned citizens: 870,827

"Still trying to process my emotions on learning that @twitter blacklisted me. The thought that will keep me up tonight: censorship of scientific discussion permitted policies like school closures & a generation of children were hurt."
