[08:26] schestowitz-TR works ok in falkon [08:27] techrightssec2 There were a lot of articles over a month ago about Saudi and Qatari control [08:27] techrightssec2 of Twitter through their ownership of the platform. Nothing has come of those [08:27] techrightssec2 articles despite some minor statements from a handful of politicians. [08:27] techrightssec2 ^ topic ? x2 [08:29] schestowitz-TR qatar too? [08:29] schestowitz-TR someone in irc mentioned it [08:29] schestowitz-TR anyway, maybe causing it to evalorate would be ther goal [08:29] schestowitz-TR who knows... ● Dec 21 [09:01] techrightssec2 Yes apparently Qatar, too, and there are likely other smaller similar investors [09:01] techrightssec2 which contribute to the controlling block. It's been severely overlooked in [09:01] techrightssec2 favor of giving free marketing to Musk as he distracts from what Twitter is [09:01] techrightssec2 what Twitter is for and who actually controls it. [09:09] schestowitz-TR ksa has lkong been involved [09:09] schestowitz-TR but many more hands were involved [09:09] schestowitz-TR inc. some govs [09:09] schestowitz-TR so it would be a leap to say qatar and ksa were the main controllers [09:09] schestowitz-TR and that musk was a fall man [09:09] schestowitz-TR biab exercise [09:24] techrightssec2 The increase traffic seems to be mostly people and not so much bots. Just [09:24] techrightssec2 skimming through the timing suggests that it is checked and many of the [09:24] techrightssec2 articles read. ● Dec 21 [10:30] schestowitz-TR just got a card ! ;-) [10:30] schestowitz-TR it's very nice, I will read it twice more later [10:30] schestowitz-TR maybe while the 'kettle' (pot) is on [10:30] schestowitz-TR mirgarating the sites is easier with extra time at my disposal [10:30] schestowitz-TR i also started blogging a lot more at mine [10:30] schestowitz-TR more so after abandoning social control media [10:30] schestowitz-TR it was maybe NOT a waste of time when it peaked around 2015 [10:30] schestowitz-TR now it's just rapidly collasing [10:30] schestowitz-TR so cost benefit analysis says, quit it, the sooner, the better [10:31] techrightssec2 :) [10:31] schestowitz-TR going through links atm [10:31] schestowitz-TR made about 9 more memes, which can be seen as uploaded (for later) [10:48] techrightssec2 ack [10:54] *u-amarsh04 has quit (Quit: Konversation terminated!)
