1) require identity verification for every twitter user - use bots and AI as the excuse 2) increase identity verification requirements over time - use bots and AI as the excuse 3) have complete control over the platform, who uses it, and what they say 4) harvest user data and sell it for profit NOSTR FIXES THIS.

Elon's actions make no sense for a social network. Every change is worse and the price paid is far too high. They make perfect sense if he wants to control the global identity and social credit score system. The price was a steal. This pain is temporary, the "glory" would be forever.
The end goal is to become the WeChat for the western world, a platform to control your speech, thoughts, behavior and ability to transact.
deposit sats to an account is verification enough imo, but yeah, who needs twitter? nostr will find different ways to handle bots and spam.
sounds like you played “count the pips” over morning coffee, too!
Do you think it would be possible to have that surveillance and still incorporate Lightning successfully? How would that affect user privacy? Maybe when that Bitcoin leaves the wallet, you have to state what your planning to use it for? Don’t think they would be able to stop transfers? Would love to read or hear your response…maybe a shoutout on your next citadel episode😉
It's even worse than that. They can already control use of the platform with the algo. In Elon's own words he wants to turn Twitter into a "super app like WeChat." Well what is WeChat? A centralised repository of personal info on everyone in China controlled by the CCP. Elon is turning Twitter into the same thing but controlled by the WEF. image View quoted note →

And that’s why *they* allowed him to buy the platform. *They* wanted someone more neutral to convince as much people as possible in a western version of WeChat. Very long shot.

The arrogance to think that Woke heads on Twitter form "public opinion." Anyone not willing to delete there account and GTFO Twitter deserves the mind meld they receive from proven government and corporate mind control and surveillance, to the new CEO from the WEF. EM is not your savior as he builds secret weapon systems funded by the deep state. Do you really believe EM is building rockets for s freaking pleasure cruise to Mars, to terraform a dead planet, when he can't even go to the Moon? Wake the FU....

Does anyone believe this KYC BS for real? Do you really think FAKE BOTS can't be spun up infinitely with credit cards? Hell, anyone can go to Privacy.com and spin up fake credit card numbers...and this is just one tool available to any Pleb. It's BS track your ass double speak. GET IT THROUGH YOUR THICK SKULL,LS, THEY ARE USING YOU!! Manipulating, monitoring, and controlling, and selling you. EM could easily make Twitter an open source, Bitcoin Bot restrictive system, but then they couldn't make billions off selling you for global manipulation. Wake the FU and get off WokeTard socialist media!

What do you think it’s the strategy if Nostr becomes so popular that we have to deal with millions of bot accounts?

It will be interesting to see if that can work. I have my doubts. There's still way too many restrictions for me to subscribe to it. In his defense. I'm not sure there's any doable level of social media I would subscribe to. The reality is. I think you need people like me so you don't keep getting slaughtered like animals. Like is happening with covid, and the so-called vaccines..🤡🤑💉☣️☠️🥀⚰️💀😐
Elon is just playing the game he has always played. He's a really smart guy but clearly not transparent with his intentions, as has always been the case due to his strong charisma.

X is like the Swift system, keep kicking people off, or sanctioning them and people will build a better alternative. And here I am.

Thanks to nostr's brilliant distributed systems engineering it will effortlessly scale to the size of Twitter.
Don't worry, there aren't any bots. btw, how is your trade going?? :-)
