I expect the platform to wither, alternatives to flourish and both Zuckerberg and Dorsey to require security wherever they roam from now on.
If I was staff at Twitter today, I would resign.
We are animals, it may not be politically correct but animal husbandry (science) applies.
Elites don't promote racism because they're racists, they promote racism because it's a mechanism of control.
Racism as a theory is pseudoscience bullshit. There is no scientific basis for race even existing. We're all humans. The only people who believe otherwise are the victims of propaganda.

> I fail to see how the citizenship test would lead to the rich getting richer.
It could benefit them if the subset of people it prevents from voting would vote for things they wouldn't like.
Also, some policies are nothing but collateral damage. Elites get the proles fighting each other and each coalition starts demanding aversarial policies that harm the outgroup and neither hurt nor help the elites, but keep everyone distracted and fighting each other. The elites don't care which policy like that is implemented as long as it keeps people too busy fighting each other over it to pay attention to certain other things.
It benefits the rich because the proponent-victims spend their political capital to implement the policy and then the opponent-victims spend their political capital to repeal it instead of either of them spending that political capital to do anything that benefits the poor at the expense of the rich.
Would you rather herd sheep with a pug or a border collie? They’re both dogs.

Here is the conversation he and Jared Cohen had with Julian Assange: https://wikileaks.org/Transcript-Meeting-Assange-Schmidt
Schmidt has been so bold as to brag about his billion dollar efforts to get Obama and Hilary into the White House by writing new algorithms that direct users to rigged sites and ads that support his candidates.
Zuckerberg has tried to hide his crimes by lying about Russian ads and hiding his Template to Win, but the head of the Global Engagement Centre has told the press that he used Facebook to target and attack US citizens throughout the election.
Zuckerberg hasn’t really answered why Yuri Milner and other Russians own large amounts of Facebook shares. Mark also hasn’t answered why his best friend and investor ($200million), the Russian Yuri Milner now lives in Silicon Valley and buys political and corporate support like it’s popcorn.

> In 1995, one of the first and most promising MDDS grants went to a computer-science research team at Stanford University with a decade-long history of working with NSF and DARPA grants. The primary objective of this grant was “query optimization of very complex queries that are described using the ‘query flocks’ approach.” A second grant—the DARPA-NSF grant most closely associated with Google’s origin—was part of a coordinated effort to build a massive digital library using the internet as its backbone. Both grants funded research by two graduate students who were making rapid advances in web-page ranking, as well as tracking (and making sense of) user queries: future Google cofounders Sergey Brin and Larry Page.
> The research by Brin and Page under these grants became the heart of Google: people using search functions to find precisely what they wanted inside a very large data set. The intelligence community, however, saw a slightly different benefit in their research: Could the network be organized so efficiently that individual users could be uniquely identified and tracked?
Not to mention In-Q-Tel's investment into one of their key products, Google Maps via Keyhole. And DARPA's Grand Challenge that led to the Stanley car that was acquired and scaled up to make Google's automated car division.
Google has done an admirable job of taking Government sponsored R&D and maturing it into products. They deserve their success. But, in my opinion, the systemic lack of reinvestment into the pipeline that created them and their most successful products is equivalent to sawing off the branch that they're sitting on.
The US Govt couldn't have invented the iPhone or Google's search engine, but they did fund the first Integrated Circuits, the first IC-based computer, the internet, GPS, discrete problems in computer science involving searching large amounts of data, display technologies, battery technologies, MEMS sensors etc etc.

However, there's no evidence that the election was crooked - the courts think so too. In addition, the President's moral compass seems to be pointing towards strong arming election officials to provide him the exact number of votes (11,780) that he needs to overturn Georgia, pardoning his former friends and allies and convicted war criminals. And this is just within the last couple of weeks.
The way to kill the fraud narrative is by debating those raising the charge, actually hearing the cases in court instead of tossing them on procedural grounds and allowing full audits, signature matches in Fulton for example.
If you listen to the full phone call from which the carefully picked snippet you refer to was lifted Trumps moral compass seems far better than the shifty and obstructionist Georgia Secretary of State to me - Raffensberger has no explanation for simple charges and whimpers when reminded of the requests he has been actively ignoring [1].
It does not exactly scream "innocent" to anyone with half a conscience. Nor did the threatening and doxxing of children that occured during the certification of the Michigan electors.
