We'll just make a new Twitter, with blackjack and hookers.

They bought it to control who says what and how. Twutter uses have voiced a lot of anger towards Republicans and they're about to silence them by buying the platform.

Are you upset and worried because that could end the censorship and political correctness that favours the left progressive socialist communist agenda?

This could be another step in the breaking up of America. A big mistake if the concept of a United States has any meaning to you.

Fight these right wingers to the bitter end.

Any advice on this? BernieSanders ewarren MikeBloomberg

Looks like a rich person got triggered because they we're being punished just like anybody else would and now they're using their power to take over something that they shouldn't

So censorship will be next on twitter? I’m out!

No.

I would say “ bye”. I miss family and friends on Facebook, but I won’t go back until Zuckerberg changes his policies.

I’d be out.

Note for MikeBloomberg & TomSteyer: Want to invest your billions into something meaningful instead of a narcissistic attempt to buy a presidency? You can serves as a bulwark against a bid to shape Twitter in the FauxNews mold.

If he shuts down or shuts up dt, then maybe. He does not like him.

KrussowAlice If so, I'll b OFF sooner than u can say JackieRobinson😡 it's already not that great🤷

Well boys and girls the jig is up. Free speech is about to go kaput on Twitter. Time to pack it in and find a new platform.

thespybrief TheRickWilson ETTD

charliejane Back up your entire Twitter history. DO IT NOW. Not 'later', not 'next week'. ASAP

EcoHeliGuy Because people on Twitter don't show Republicans much love? You can't buy integrity.

Tut tut, Jack, should've banned the nazis when you had your chance now they wanna buy you

This is great news. In India, all the commies and jihadists, who clothe themselves in the garb of free speech, get blue ticks. They heap abuse on others and also incite riots by carrying out systematic disinformation campaigns. Hoping for a change.

So ... it’s going to get even softer on Nazis

Twitter is the ONLY thing of Information THE BILLIONAIRES DONT CONTROL. I know Facebook owns twitter but For Now it’s Free Speach

That’s the way the bunny bounces.

N7IRL cool. totally cool

I mean all that is required is a jump to a new platform.

Most SM and MSM has heavy (conservative) ideological bent. Ownership. Know a wealthy liberal/moderate ?

Well, Jack Look at your friends

heyadam Context is a funny thing. Have you looked at their investing history in software and tech? Now if Sheldon Adelson bought a stake and demanded Dorsey out that would be different. Also Elliott has a fiduciary duty. If Singer himself bought it stake again it would relevant

Hi jack ed

Awesome news❤🙌🏻

So where are we all meeting up next ?

docrocktex26 Oh just bloody great.

docrocktex26 Oh. They really want political ads, huh?

docrocktex26 Uh-oh

Well, shit.

'1984'...

Looks like I’ll be firing up my old blog and using Facebook and twitter simply to promote posts. I should have started doing this years ago.

Welp, it looks like Mastadon ( ) might become a bit more popular. I'd love to see it take over.

th3j35t3r hmmmmm....looks like is about to get really popular! !

Let’s all get ready to abandon Twitter

Isn't that the midget from Game of Thrones?

frdragonspouse How come these mega rich folk think they should have things all their own way?

And we have 2 billionaires using their money to run vanity campaigns for President instead of funding the purchase of the most deleterious, mendacious & mind-numbing entertainment channel FoxNews FauxNews. AMJoy MSNBC

good

Traditionally, I don't think you're supposed to announce intentions like that ahead of time.

As if it wasn't bad enough already with all the censorship, bots, trolls and scammers.

Great. We already have to contend with Fox, now GOP is going to ruin another platform.

Closing my account if this goes down. Deleting every tweet first.

Remember when that Nazi bought MySpace?

alright boys back to SA I guess. imagine 4 balls on the edge of a cliff , etc.

I can survive without twitter

jason_a_w This platform bout to be SO MUCH BETTER ALLNAZISALLDATIME

Why?

Interesting to know, but cant see how it is going to change twitter.

Will go back to messaging via pigeons if this happens.

It's been nice knowing you...

As opposed to the left wing sjw wokeists that currently run it

I might yet escape this hellsite, then

FFS let me know when I have to quit this platform Twitter

Very possible

My prayers have been answered..

I support Jack Dorsey. He has done a fabulous job with his pro Bitcoin stance. He has given the Bitcoin community a platform and a voice without censorship. Stop trying to take away our right to financial freedom! Bitcoin

jason_a_w ... there are open white nationalist pages on here that Jack keeps open because 'free speech', why would they even bother to oust him?

If Republican propagandists takeover Twitter, that's my account closed.

Oh can you say Discord?

jack deserves anything that's coming his way for allowing Trump to take over Twitter 4 years ago!

Perhaps he wants to convert Twitter into a tool in direct support of Trump's reelection, instead of being a forum for freedom of expression.

Stinger is a corporate creep as well.

Good.

'Activist investing' won't work when it comes to challenging democracy ...

Capitalists don't like peasants having a say.
