Big Tech & Social Media Reformation Act

Social Media is a necessity for all people.

Photo taken in Las Vegas, Nevada, 14 March 2012, by Cliff Harrison

Some people have no contact with real people outside their immediate residential environment because of a number of reasons such as being confined in-house as recluses, in nursing homes or hospitals or any other number of confinements.

They have a constitutional right to use the internet and social media wherever they choose they are comfortable and without restrictions.

Big Tech Tyrants should NOT have the power to suspend or restrict a vulnerable person’s or an elderly person’s account or comments as this may be the only source of non-isolated activity this person can enjoy.

Banning an elderly person or vulnerable person from using their social media account or Big Tech account in any manner whatsoever should constitute serious elder abuse or vulnerable person abuse.

Still thousands, tens of thousands and maybe millions of such vulnerable persons and elderly are abused by the Big Tech Tyrants.

Twitter alone has banned or suspended over 14 million users in recent years. Think about it. Are there that many rogue users in the world? Do we have that many people misbehaving or are Big Tech Tyrants the ones misbehaving and in hostile conduct against a certain sector of society? Add millions more to Facebook, Amazon, Google, or Alphabet, including YouTube and many more and you see a clear pattern of abuse by Big Tech Tyrants. A clear pattern of abuse.

Sometimes, the elderly or vulnerable person may do wrong is making a statement or in making charges against another user. But what if the elderly person is being attacked with vile and immoral insults and hate speech and harassed, does he or she not have a right to self-defense?

Vulnerable people and elder abuse are widespread in our culture and the culture of many societies. People in general can be mean, immoral, inhumane, and downright violent and disgusting.

Anonymity on the internet, even in government, nonprofit and corporate organizations in all sorts of communication including emails, and snail mail US Postal Service Mail is a common occurrence. Why? Why do people need to hide their true identity from those they communicate with?

If one is honest and sincere, why can’t they be open?

 Anonymity encourages violence, hostility and abuse and should be banned across the board.

The vulnerable and elderly, like all innocent people, should know who is attacking them and have legal resources to litigate against the violators.

No one should have immunity from being legally litigated. No one! If someone does something wrong that harms someone else, that someone else should unequivocally have the right to recover compensatory and punitive damages.

Why would anyone need anonymity if they were innocent of any form of guilt?

Validated proof of everyone’s identity backed up with government photo IDs and other evidence is necessary because of the overwhelming abuse by Big Tech tyrants, their users, anonymous trolls, and trouble seekers, and in all abusive forms of communication in society and culture where full identification of all parties and service practitioners should be legally forced into compliance.

Providing unrestricted social media without retaliation and oppressing conduct by Big Tech to the vulnerable and elderly and the innocent users and eliminating anonymity is not all that difficult to achieve. But we need a people with the will and the political representation that represents We the People and NOT the Big Tech Tyrants to restore our rights to freedom.

Big Techs oligarch that pays the lobbyists to strip the inalienable rights from our freedoms should be the ones being banned and suspended from society. Revocation is a better term.

We have no freedom if we have no inalienable rights. And if politicians allow our inalienable rights to be taken away, what freedoms do we have worth standing for?

Congress is United Against TikTok.

Will Big Tech start folding like Dominoes with a united Congress standing up for the people, or is this just another show and tell of hot air investigations against Big Tech?

HOT NEWS FLASH:

US bombs Syria targets after deadly drone attack


Is Elon Musk’s $45 Billion Investment Going Up in Flames?

Twitter is currently backlogged for more than a week with massive complaints and appeals of suspension and a multitude of legal problems.

The total collapse of the microblogging platform may be closer than the engineers and former employees predicted.

Not only does Elon Musk have multiple problems at Twitter, but he is also getting backlash from multiple sources, including Texas, a state he moved his operations to after exiling California (until the acquisition of the San Francisco Twitter holdings).

The problems in Texas include Musk’s Boring Company wanting to dump waste into the Colorado River. That has a lot of people up in arms. Residents and officials of Bastrop, Texas wants Musk’s Boring Company to pipe the waste into the public system rather than in the Colorado River. Musk has plans of building futuristic cities in Texas. The heat coming from Bastrop, Texas and even the state, added to the problems up yonder there in San Francisco, could give any man a major headache. If you could only delegate headaches, huh?

THE MUD IS FLYING AT TWITTER

Twitter users are getting right down hostile and violent. Name calling and personal attacks are now the norm, even threats.

Many users are fleeing the site and seeking other avenues for social media, while Elon Musk says Twitter enrollment is growing. The growth may appear to be from new enrollment of hostile users with the only purpose to have a Twitter account is to wage personal attacks on their targets, people of opposite opinions be that about just about anything.

Viewing an extremely large number of accounts, one can find those trolling accounts being new. Having low following, low followers, often single digit, no profile photo and no further identification or information and all with anonymous or fake usernames. Trouble be their names.

14 million Twitter accounts were suspended in ten years, according to an online search. The same search says Twitter has lost more than 1 million users since Musk took over. That’s a lot of revenue dumped like sour milk. Are the remaining Twitter employees that did not get fired sabotaging Elon Musk by suspending his loyal fan base? If so, serious problems, legal, moral, and otherwise are on the horizon. Big Tech can be expensive even if everything goes right. When things go wrong it can drive millions, even billions in the ground. Think My Space and many others that were once on top and now gone. A billion dollar company can vanish overnight, including banks that will soon fold due to people making runs on banks. Twitter is just as vulnerable.

It is becoming such a wide scale problem the Federal government may need to step in which will spark a Twitter War with Musk.

Musk may need to recall some of those employees he fired and that and of itself would create a hostile work environment and leave Musk and Twitter vulnerable to inside sabotage.

As stated in the previous post, Warren Buffet seldom removed key employees or any employees from the companies he acquired, at least not on the onset, while Musk’s massive firing of key people almost immediately, including engineers, may have been the start of digging himself an early grave.

Note: I have been having major problems with what I believer are my browsers. For some reason I can’t leave a like for someone else’s posts. I fixed that, Firefox was blocking a bunch of popups and I guess the like buttons were popups? The Chrome browser will not let me follow and neither will Firefox. Some of you have a following coming since I generally follow back if I am aware of it. I have to shut everything down and try again, maybe another browser. But it could also be anti-virus or any other dang thing, so if you followed me, please be patient, I will try to get back to following you, as well. Thanks!


Did Elon Musk Deliver Free Speech with Twitter Takeover?

A resounding NO! He did not.

Twitter today under Musk’s complete control is as anti-free speech as Jack Dorsey’s was, perhaps even worse in many instances.

How could that be?

Elon Musk is too consumed with his own agenda of Tweeting that he ignores the urgent needs of the company’s for superior management.

He, like Dorsey, allows across the board user suspension. Suspensions that are in fact, unconstitutional, which we don’t have the time nor space to explain here.

Can it be corrected? Highly unlikely. We don’t have the politicians and lawmakers in place with enough talent or intelligence to repair the broken big tech tyranny.

Musk is as tyrannical as Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates, Jack Dorsey, Mark Zuckerberg, Matt Mullenweg and many other rich tech company tyrants.

The Big Tech Tyrants are becoming exceedingly vicious as this nation succumbs to its lowest level citizen dissatisfaction in a century, and our nation is as close to a Homeland War as it ever has been since the first Civil War.

Free speech is reduced every day because of a handful of billionaires, many consider oligarchs.

Rather one is from the right of ideology or the left, or smack in the center, The Big Tech Tyrants restrict their freedom of speech and many other freedoms.

A handful of men have the power and will to take away your free speech and multiple other inalienable rights the US Constitution guarantees you.

The corrupt politicians in Washington, D.C. waved most of your absolute rights from your exclusive ability to litigate successfully in your defense!

Corrupt judges sitting on decaying benches, often taking bribes from high places, contribute to your denied rights and freedoms being stripped like the meat from a chicken bone.

Your Constitutional rights, Civil Rights, Human Rights, Inalienable rights and many rights under well establish Federal, state and local law have evaporated with the surface of The Big Tech Tyrants.

I did not and do not, ever, surrender my constitutional rights to a jury trial but to use a public or private service of business they force me by use, to surrender those inalienable rights. WE NEED AS A PEOPLE TO SHOW THESE TYRANTS WHAT INALIENABLE MEANS… THE POLITICIANS THAT SURRENDER OUR INALIENABLE RIGHTS, TOO.

Many Engineers that were laid off from Twitter claim the Big Tech company cannot survive and they predict it will collapse soon. They claim Musk stripped the company of its technical know-how and people that are needed to support a successful business.

Advertisers have been refusing to support Twitter and are on the decline. Musk’s silly blue check payment is as ridiculous as the Thai Cave diving ideas and experiences.

Twitter does not even have a basic, elementary editing option once the post or comment is published.

Will Twitter survive? I doubt it. I give it one year at best. Unlike Warren Buffet that usually keeps key people in place after acquiring a company, Musk seems to be the exact opposite. That could easily doom him.

Musk’s continued allowance of suspension of loyal users will be his downfall. He is likely to succumb to a has-been one-time billionaire who will never recover.

He mentioned once that he would delete the post or comment that may be objectionable, but not the user’s entire account. Deleting or hiding from public view rejected posts or comments is far less freedom invading that suspending someone’s account, much less permanently suspending.

Did anyone stand in the way of Elon Musk, Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, Jack Dorsey, Matt Mullenweg or any other risk taker while they were building their dreams and bringing to the world new ideas and innovations? No, not one person or thing obstructed their path or journey to building what is now their empires of tyranny where they oppress other people. No one suspended their accounts because they disagreed with them. No one shut them down and prevented them from accomplishing what it was they wanted to accomplish. But The Big Tech Tyrants disrupt and suspend and shut downs tens of thousands of individuals and prevent them from achieving their goals. That is not right, and it needs to stop and stop now.

Troubles are coming to Elon Musk in not bushel loads, but truckloads.

A once admirable man becomes no more appealing than the bug-invested homeless vagrant that now takes up space surrounding us.

Elon Musk has more than a basketful of problems, and he is so foolishly likely to erode to a failure of Twitter we have never seen in the Big Tech industry.

That will provide a standing ovation for many and a sigh of disappointment for the rest of us.

No person, even a genius, can be hitting home runs all the time, but Musk is striking out too much lately and when he erodes his solid and loyal supporter base, he treads into a territory of complete and utter failure many will applaud.  

We will be covering more Big Tech and the Big Tech Tyrants stories as a regular column on this site.  

Coming posts include the story about how one man defeated Section 230 and successfully sued and won a lawsuit against Twitter and had his suspended account reinstated. Alex Berenson Twitter Lawsuit and why Section 230 of Title 47 should be repealed.


I’m Back: Surviving Again

Some of my planned work has been interrupted with more trips to the hospital and medical clinics to endure still more health issues. I’ve taken a few rides in ambulances and gathered a few more notes on why the Vegas Valley needs a complete overhaul to any medical issues including first responders. I’ve been hospitalized three times since 4 November 22 and have a mixed opinion of much of the medical issues I experienced. But all of that will come later when I decide to write some critical essays on the medical situation in the Vegas Valley.

Let me remind you a few years ago there was a major exodus of some of the best medical professionals from the Vegas Valley and what remained is a trying experience. You might now get some good medical service, or you might get substandard. The latter is becoming the norm.

There is an old saying in the Vegas Valley about the medical care you can find here, it goes something like this: “To get good medical care in Vegas one has to go to McCarran.” Meaning get out of town. But since then, UMC has had opened an Express Care at Terminal 1.
