It's social media in the technical definition - it's a place to view media, both entertainment and news, with commentary, groups, the ability to follow someone, etc. Which makes it social.

But yeah, it's not quite like Facebook/Instagram/LinkedIn. A little bit like Twitter though.

It's all the same thing. He "offered" to buy Twitter and then tried to back out. Market manipulation.

The board of Twitter forced the sale, because they had every right and responsibility to their shareholders to do so.

Now he's wrecking the company seemingly on purpose. Market manipulation.

True. And we can't legislate our way out of this. Any legislation we proffer and make happen will be weaponized against the poor.

I don't think anyone told him he couldn't buy it.

The board of Twitter is who sued to force the sale, since musk had kicked himself in.

That doesn't mean his offer and subsequent behavior with the company isn't market manipulation to be investigated, which is being done by the government.

Both things can be true. He stupidly kicked himself into a deal he was forced to complete, and his behavior since has indicated that he's just gaming the market since he had to complete the deal.

Some countries make their penalties a percentage of income. Makes the sting equal for everyone.

For the other 45%, their husband/boyfriend/brother was in the room and they couldn't risk responding honestly

The controversy comes days after it emerged that education officials had sent a threatening letter to the parents of a boy who had complained of being bullied by classmates for months, saying their public statements complaining about the bullying were “unacceptable” and urged them to adopt a “constructive” attitude.

The boy, identified as Nicolas, 15, later killed himself on 5 September in a Paris suburb, one day after pupils went back to school after the summer break.

Oh, got it. So they fucked up real bad and are now trying make this about the police response so no one will question why they helped a bully kill his target.

Exactly. You can't act like classrooms should be sacrosanct while simultaneously harassing other students. Makes no sense on its face.

Further, how likely is it that the harassment is only after school hours? If you can talk shit during the school day, you can take the consequences during the school day.

Could be other factions trying to isolate Putin.
