They cannot stop the madness because that would be tantamount to admitting that they have been wrong.

If Elon lMusk ooks as if he is truly leaving the deal it means he saw something, and maybe heard from a lot of Twitterers about how bad things really were with respect to censorship and shaming for having opinions. There techniques of putting people into a doghouse and not letting them know why or to appeal is especially galling and juvenile.

I recommend that we find as many people as we can to all leave Twitter at once, ready to pull the trigger on Elon Musk's announcement. Recommend first deleting all followers and following and all tweets, likes and retweets first. Less data for the company to sell at that point in time. I certainly plan on it. Substack is growing and much more useful a platform.

Also of interest is Hawley and Grassley's letter on the actions of the Disinformation Governance Board that included counteracting people's opinions on Twitter:

offering them an advance copy of your new book is awesome trolling.

What I would suggest, is try to get them to define the terms they use. To also have them explain, do they have any support they can provide you that outlines what specifically would meet that definition so as a content creator, on their platform, you can work collaboratively with them and -Not- cause these triggers for them. This gives them valuable time back to tend to other matters and keeps your relationship (as they profit off people viewing your posts) healthy and mutually beneficial.

Basically ask for coaching :)

If they give you anything in relation to the above, you've got the mind to move on it.

It's your pivot to being more inclusive, bait.
