 All right, quickly, let's jump to Musk and Twitter. As you know, Musk is trying to establish new guidelines, moderating guidelines for Twitter, deciding who can be on the platform, who should not, what kind of speech is allowed, what kind of speech is not. Some kind of moderation has to happen. Even having a moderation policy that says any legal speech is allowed is still a moderation policy. So some kind of policy needs to exist. My complaints about Twitter have focused on the fact that their policies have not been particularly objective and not being predictable, have not been knowable in advance. I'd like to see all social media, whatever their political stance, whatever ultimately they decide is their business, it's their platforms, it's private property. They get to decide on the rules for what speech is acceptable and what is not on their platform, this is private property. What I would like as a user, as a content creator, as somebody who participates in this, I would like those guidelines to be objective, to be not knowable in advance. I'd like them to know, whoops, I shouldn't say this because I'm at geek.off or I'm gonna say it anyway or just I know, I know, you can't swear but you can be a communist, you can be a fascist, you can be a communist, you can be a communist, you can be a fascist, whatever, just let me know what are the standards and I'll either accept them or I'll leave the platform. And the problem is with all these platforms, including Twitter, there has been no objective standard. David Arsenal, thank you for the support, really, really appreciate it. There be no objective standards. The standards have been seemingly arbitrary. The standards have been you know, biased, clearly biased towards, you know, so some people in a sense inciting violence or presenting a bad perspective views of the world or particularly violent views or particularly just hate speech. But some, if they do it from a certain political perspective, Twitter has been lenient about and has been fine and no problem, you can keep doing it. For example, maybe Islamists talking on there or certain parts of the left, that's been fine but people on the right who have engaged in hate speech, they've been stopped, they've been limited much faster than it seems to be true on the left. So for example, you can get hate speech out of Iran which is fine to put on Twitter but hate speech by individuals who in America is not acceptable, all kinds of standards where you just don't know, you have no clue but there's clear bias, but there's clear bias but it's not objective no matter what. Well, part of the hope was that Elon Musk would bring some objectivity to this, would enforce some new standards, more objective standards, standards that made some sense and were predictable that Elon Musk would also take away some of the bias, eliminates some of the bias against let's say, the so-called right versus the left. And early on, Musk talked about having some kind of committee that would establish these kind of standards that would determine what is acceptable and was not and this committee would make these decisions and the committee would be balanced and there'd be people from different parts of it. But just in the last few days, I mean, Musk has basically shown us that he is just, his standard is basically his own emotional preferences. Unfortunately, Musk is a banded objectivity just like it seems like every other platform has made his platform no different than any other platform. He has presented and reported no new standards. I don't know where this moderation committee is. I haven't seen anything new coming out of Twitter to give us some guidance of what is okay and what is not. But what have we seen? We've seen Elon Musk conduct a poll on whether Trump should be allowed on Twitter or not, back on Twitter or not. A poll, we decide these things based on majorities, we decide these things based on how many people voted on an arbitrary random Twitter poll. Really? That's how we make decisions? The poll was I think 52 to 48 for allowing Trump back on the platform and therefore he won the poll. So Trump was allowed back on Twitter. And you could say, okay, the new standard is polls. We're gonna poll everything. But people asked Elon Musk, well, what about Alex Jones? You can have a poll with allowing Alex Jones back on Twitter or not. And if you allow Trump, why aren't you allowing Alex Jones? And basically, Elon Musk said something like, well, Alex Jones hoots children and have a soft search of children. So Alex Jones is banned and Trump is not. In other words, you know, I don't like Alex Jones. He upsets me. I feel bad. And therefore, you know, I'm not. So complete subjectivism, complete warm worship, complete whatever Elon Musk decides. So just say that the moderating standards, the moderation standards at Twitter now are Elon Musk's whims. Elon Musk's whims. It's just ridiculous. We have less guidance and less standards right now than we had before Elon Musk took over. Instead of bringing us objectivity, what we now have is try to predict what Elon likes and what Elon doesn't like. Try to predict which threads on Twitter Elon follows and which threads on Twitter Elon doesn't. I suspect that I can pretty much say anything I want on Twitter because I doubt Elon Musk reads my tweets. I mean, it's pathetic, sad and pathetic. Come on, Elon, live up to the expectations you created. Give us objective standards. Give us standards that we can live by. Give us standards that we can understand whether I agree with those standards or not. It will enhance Twitter dramatically just to know what's acceptable and what's not. And if you ban too much content then people will leave Twitter and we'll be back to let's compete which is my view of social media. Anyway, let competition go. Let's do it, let's do it. Let's see which platform attracts the most users. Therefore provides the most value. All right, so that's Twitter. I really hope Musk gets his act together. I don't want to say too much about Twitter because I think a lot is going on. A lot is going on in the background. A lot is going on in terms of hiring and firing. A lot is going on in new features and trying to embed those. I don't want to judge Elon Musk's efforts in totality yet. I think there's still weeks and maybe months to go before we can do that. But on this issue about what is allowed and what is not he clearly has failed and so far. And I hope he gets his act together. I hope so. Thank you for listening or watching the Iran book show.
