I actually probably look like a bot as I block most followers (so many bots), have no picture of byline and am new. But The Conservative Treehouse has a pretty good theory that when Elon bought twitter he didn’t realize that the feds already had official back door access and they still do.If Elon blocks them, they will go for all out war, I think it is a difficult position for him to be in.

Typically sharp and informative. Reminds me of the quality of press I used to read in the Paris Herald Trib. Well done!

I heard he bought Twatter to convert it into a copy of the Chinese "App" system -since I do not use a mobile, forgotten the name; but you will recognise it probably. It will include social credit and greenhouse gas emissions, the digital wallet and all that rubbish ... https://www.eastasiaforum.org/2023/03/22/the-social-credit-system-as-method/#:~:text=The%20social%20credit%20system%20as%20zhengxin%20is%20still%20largely%20applied,the%20social%20and%20moral%20spheres.

Chinese App - FOUND IT ... "WE APP".

...

PS... Could be 100% wrong

Elon Musk has avoided turning it into the X everything app after The Daily Beagle beat him to the punch and predicted that's exactly what he'd do. So far he's been hemmed in and unable to move every time we strike at a particular policy (disabling blocks, banning undesirable accounts, mandating payments, restrictions on post reading, etc).

We know he wants his centralised financial currency. He knows we know. Just a case of who makes the first move.

Not just the "centralised financial currency" but the full on digital wallet - "WECHAT" in English plus plus.

I just do not understand how so many people can fall for it all, whether it be him, Trump, Boris Johnson, Nigal Farage (over here); so maybe the globalist parasites were right; when they called so many of us - "useless eaters" ... because you think these idiots would have learnt after the last 3 years. ... !

Keep up the good work.

PS I do not use a mobile or social media, but maintain my laptop; just intrigued what you mean by "X everything app" (excuse my senior moment or ignorance).

PPS Dutch elections...another farce, even though I used to support Wilders and the PVV - NOT A CAT IN HELL's CHANCE he got that vote.

'X everything app' as roughly described in the call out of Elon article, is basically like WeChat as you described, where it is social media posting and financial payments rolled into one, precisely so you can be monitored, blacklisted and "paid a visit" by the Stasi to your household door.

Whilst apps are strongly associated to "smart" devices, 'app' is just short for 'application' and can mean any sort of software package. In this case, I'm referring to a sort of website based app.

It seems Elon Musk is particularly vulnerable to callouts, because so far every move he's tried to make where The Daily Beagle calls him out and outlines what he's scheming, quickly gets put back under the bed.

He's not gone forward with the '$1 registration' and he's undone the posting limits. The only one he hasn't is Yaccarino's appointment, but because she isn't software I imagine she's a bit harder to 'undo'.

It's obvious Elon wants the 'X everything app' but has no idea how to implement it without the public stampeding out to other groups like Gab. It's amusing watching the globalists' 'brightest mind' squirm.

I never visited Gettr after they censored critical voices.

Many new starting social media companies have subpar spambot defences. Twitter has been around since, I believe, 2007, and does not have this excuse.

You'll also find these same spambots lurking on places like YouTube.

Mysterious how Gab have a solution for the problem but places like YouTube, Twitter, etc don't.

You'd think they'd have come up with standardised approach for thwarting spambots that weren't just "use a captcha" by now.

Gettr was weird- they shadowbanned like crazy people who pushed against RINO’s or neo-cons. And engagement was like at zero.

It might seem weirdly ironic, but I boycotted Twitter for nearly two decades.

In-fact, I joined and used Gab (under my own auspices, not as The Daily Beagle) years before I ever meaningfully used Twitter. I know how the system on Gab works because... I helped designed the prototype for it.

I agree with your sentiments, however...

...I'm intentionally on Twitter because I know there is a 'con' going on (see: https://thedailybeagle.substack.com/p/elons-sinister-plot-at-twitter). I cannot conduct tests on Twitter from afar; I have to wade in; I'm slowly working my way through what the end game is in a $44 billion purchase.

I've made good friends there, ones with integrity, who have raised the alarm on numerous abuses by the state, and many of the serious stories about death, murder and government corruption were leads sparked by good people there.

I do not expect Twitter to squash the bots. I'm not even asking them to. I intentionally filed over a hundred reports on bot accounts just to gauge how aggressive their response would be and monitored it over two weeks to see if my suspicions they were doing it intentionally were correct. They don't even ban the accounts, they merely 'restrict' them.

Pretty sure fraud is a crime and hosting criminal activities is also a crime, but Twitter seems to be okay with this.

This isn't a 'user whines about how bad Twitter is'. I'm never going to pay for it as a service, and I'm only there to get up Elon Mask's nose whilst I try to uncover what the big play is. This article is purely to document my findings and disprove Elon's false claims of wanting to eliminate bots.

Good job, per the norm, bro / bro'ette.
