    I don’t think they’re going to get much by way of a response.

    Maybe this will lead to the government blocking Twitter, probably through something incredibly easy to bypass like DNS.

      Yes.

      From the article: “The ABC attempted to contact Twitter using a previous media email address, and was met with an automated response containing the smiling poo emoji.”

        Good to know in my emigration from Reddit that some things stay the same. No one still reads the articles.

    Twitter has to be designed to be the most toxic cesspool of a website, and with the content moderation pretty much non-existent all hell breaks loose. It’s bad takes and trash opinions galore, no wonder it fosters hate!
