...while publishing his own leaks (boss leaks only from now on). Almost as hypocritical as Barry weis's revelations, which people jumped on as proof of shadowbanning policy (which they were), when just a couple of weeks earlier, musk had outlined a proposed moderation policy in a tweet that sounded awfully like shadowbanning (must be the good sort of shadowbanning) https://www.independent.co.uk/tech/elon-musk-twitter-files-sue-nda-b2242868.html "Elon Musk has reportedly threatened Twitter staff who leak confidential information about the company to the press after he approvingly released internal messages from employees to select pundits. The new owner of the social media company – who has repeatedly endorsed free speech absolutism and asserted “transparency is the key to trust” and that “sunlight is the best disinfectant” – has ordered staff to sign a document acknowledging the warning, according to reporting from Platformer managing editor Zoe Schiffer. “As evidenced by the many detailed leaks of confidential Twitter information, a few people at our company continue to act in a manner contrary to the company’s interests and in violation of their [nondisclosure agreement],” the message reads, according to the report. “This will be said only once: if you clearly and deliberately violate the NDA that you signed when you joined, you accept liability to the full extent of the law [and] Twitter will immediately seek damages,” it continues. The world’s wealthiest person reportedly added that “breaking your word by sending detailed info to the media … will receive the response it deserves.”" etc |
