This sounds like the setup for a bad HFY story. We'll negotiate over all sorts of concerns, but if the aliens stay killing our dogs, we tend to get out the Geneva Checklist.

I suspect that they are just going to be instructing the companies on which speech they should be censoring, and which amplified.

I find it hard to believe the NSA would even let him in the door.

Been stuck on option two for a while. See bad things coming. Brace for impact.

Honestly, I think the biggest act of rebellion we could manage right now would be to stop treating social media posts like reality.

If they want to kick out ambassadors, there is a form for that, and Twitter is not it.

Well played. It's likely just PR bullshit, but frankly, at this point, I'll take it.

If you can get to the root instance, select "sidebar" then "communities."

It's a touchy subject, and I am not great at the human part of conversation. No offence taken.

I'm not arguing in favor of billionaires. Nowhere in this entire thread, nowhere in this entire site, nowhere I have interacted with anyone over the past 18 months or so, have I suggested that terrorizing president musk is the wrong thing to do.

I just think we should call a spade a spade.

"Investigate" private companies for what? This sounds like the setup for the Un-White Activities commission.

Do you think the employees of the dealership felt threatened?

You make some good points.

Back in the late 2000 or early 2010, there was a spate of, let's say, aggressive vandalism directed at abortion clinics. I cannot help but think that, even though no person was hurt, that it must have been pretty scary for both the employees, and the patients. But would you argue that it's not terrorism? I'd argue it was. It was a direct effort to use force, I would say violence, in order to cause a political change in practice, if not in fact.
