Twitter’s Servers Burst Into Flames After Attempting to Fact-Check All of Trump’s Tweets

https://media.newyorker.com/photos/5ecfc8ba171ed87cc100e5c5/master/w_2560%2Cc_limit/IMG_3977.jpg


SAN FRANCISCO —Servers belonging to the social-media platform Twitter burst into flames on Thursday, after the company attempted to fact-check all of Donald Trump’s tweets.

“We knew that fact-checking Trump’s tweets was going to put a strain on our system,” Jack Dorsey, the C.E.O. of Twitter, said.

“We had no idea that it would result in columns of fire shooting forty feet into the air.”

(https://www.newyorker.com/video/watch/getting-through-quarantine-with-an-intact-relationship)Reportedly, an explosion in the server fact-checking Trump’s tweets about Joe Scarborough ignited a blaze

that quickly spread to a server furiously vetting his tweets about Barack Obama.

Fire trucks rushed to Twitter headquarters to extinguish the inferno,

which San Francisco officials called the largest fact-checking-related fire incident in the city’s history.

While no one was injured in the conflagration,

Dorsey quietly shelved plans to fact-check all of Donald Trump, Jr.,’s tweets.

How the Case for Voter Fraud Was Tested — and Utterly Failed
https://www.propublica.org/article/kris-kobach-voter-fraud-kansas-trial

Trump’s concern about mail-in ballots is completely legitimate

Really? In 2012, before mail-in voting became a partisan political litmus test, the New York Times published an article titled “Error and Fraud at Issue as Absentee Voting Rises.” The piece noted that “there is a bipartisan consensus that voting by mail … is more easily abused than other forms,” and that “votes cast by mail are less likely to be counted, more likely to be compromised and more likely to be contested than those cast in a voting booth.” A bipartisan Commission on Federal Election Reform, chaired by former president Jimmy Carter and former secretary of state James A. Baker III, concluded in 2005 that “absentee ballots remain the largest source of potential voter fraud” and that “vote buying schemes are far more difficult to detect when citizens vote by mail.” Carter and Baker also pointed out that citizens who vote at nursing homes “are more susceptible to pressure, overt and subtle, or to intimidation.” In Florida, there is even a name for this: “granny farming.”

No one questions that mail-in ballots have much higher rates of not being counted. A Massachusetts Institute of Technology study found that in the 2008 presidential election, 7.6 million of 35.5 million mail-in ballots requested were not counted because they never reached voters or were rejected for irregularities. That is a failure rate of more than 21 percent. In 2008, it did not matter because the election was not particularly close and mail-in ballots only accounted for a fraction of votes cast. But imagine the impact that would have in a close election in which mail-in voting is tried on a massive scale.

If mail-in ballots are adopted widely for the 2020 election, mass failures would be inevitable because about half the states have either no or extremely limited vote-by-mail options, and thus lack the experience or infrastructure for sending out, receiving or securing millions of mail-in ballots. We’d be conducting an experiment of unprecedented scale right in the middle of one of the most contentious elections in U.S. history.

Moreover, there is a huge difference between sending ballots to a small number of citizens who request them and requiring that they be mailed to every registered voter, as Democrats are demanding. Under the Democrats’ plan, ballots would inevitably be sent to wrong addresses or inactive voters, putting millions of blank ballots into circulation — an invitation for fraud. Add to that the danger of what Democrats call “community ballot collection” (a.k.a. “ballot harvesting”) where campaign workers collect absentee ballots in bulk and deliver them to election officials, and you have a recipe for disaster.

Democrats are already expressing concern that Trump may not accept the results if he loses. So why would they give him an excuse to do so? Maybe because Democrats don’t believe they can win without mail-in voting. During a pandemic, only the most motivated voters are going to show up at the polls, and Democrats have a massive enthusiasm gap with Trump. A March Post-ABC News poll found that just 24 percent of Biden supporters said they were “very” enthusiastic about supporting him, which is “the lowest [level of enthusiasm] on record for a Democratic presidential candidate in 20 years of ABC/Post polls.” By contrast, more than twice as many Trump’s supporters — 53 percent — are “very” enthusiastic about supporting him. While Trump voters would walk over broken glass to get him reelected, Democrats are terrified their voters won’t get out of bed to vote for former vice president Joe Biden. Solution? Let them vote from their beds.

That could backfire. Democrats are concerned about African American turnout because covid-19 has hit the black community especially hard. But using mail-in votes may not work out the way they hoped. One recent study found that in 2018, “black voters across Georgia’s 159 counties are disproportionately more likely to have their [absentee] ballots rejected than white voters.” If mail-in voting is attempted on a massive scale in 2020, and large numbers of African American votes are not counted, it may be Democrats who are crying fraud and claiming a violation of the Voting Rights Act. If that happens, Democrats will regret going on record insisting mail-in voting is perfectly safe.

Eight years ago, the Times declared that “the flaws of absentee voting raise questions about the most elementary promises of democracy.” Now that Trump is raising those same questions, the publication says doing so is illegitimate. It was right the first time.

Your idea seems to suggest that it’s okay for the government to remove whatever they deem incorrect? How blindly trusting can you be? It sounds great until it’s your voice that gets silenced.

WASHINGTON—President Trump signed an executive order on Thursday seeking to limit the broad legal protection that federal law currently provides to social-media and other online platforms, a move that is expected to draw immediate court challenges.
The order seeks to make it easier for federal regulators to hold companies such as Twitter (https://quotes.wsj.com/TWTR) Inc. TWTR -4.45% (https://quotes.wsj.com/TWTR?mod=chiclets) and Facebook (https://quotes.wsj.com/FB) Inc. FB -1.61% (https://quotes.wsj.com/FB?mod=chiclets) liable if they are deemed to be unfairly curbing users’ speech by, for example, suspending their accounts or deleting their posts.
Mr. Trump signed the order after Twitter on Tuesday moved for the first time to apply a fact-checking notice to tweets by the president (https://www.wsj.com/articles/twitters-labels-for-trump-tweets-show-platforms-split-over-political-speech-11590621829) on the subject of voter fraud.

Nation Astonished by Spectacle of Twitter Management Demonstrating Responsibility

https://media.newyorker.com/photos/5ed1206d682c2f11ba7eca87/master/w_2560%2Cc_limit/Borowitz-Twitter.jpg


(https://www.newyorker.com/humor/borowitz-report/nation-astonished-by-spectacle-of-twitter-management-demonstrating-responsibility)SAN FRANCISCO (https://www.newyorker.com/humor/borowitz-report/nation-astonished-by-spectacle-of-twitter-management-demonstrating-responsibility)—Reacting to a bizarre development that no one saw coming, Americans this week have been dumbfounded by the unfathomable spectacle of Twitter’s senior management demonstrating responsibility.

In interviews across the country, people from all walks of life expressed

shock and disbelief that Twitter executives appeared to recognize that their social-media platform was a potentially destructive entity

that required a modicum of oversight from those supposedly running it.

“At first, when I saw that they were fact-checking tweets, I thought it was some kind of fluke,” Carol Foyler, a Twitter user from Topeka, said.

“But then when they started hiding tweets for glorifying violence, I was, like, O.K., this is getting weird.”

“It almost seems like Twitter has been taken over by someone like Bill Gates or George Soros,” Harland Dorrinson, a user from Phoenix, said.

“I would tweet something about that, but I’m afraid they might fact-check it.”

Tracy Klugian, a securities analyst who has been on Twitter since its inception, expressed concern that, by exhibiting even modest signs of adult responsibility, the company is “heading down a slippery slope.”

“Today it’s falsehoods and incitements to violence, but what will it be tomorrow?” he said.

“Will Twitter start policing racists, misogynists, and Nazis?

Their entire business model is at risk.”

Twitter Hides Official White House Tweet Calling for Killings of Protesters, Too

The White House taunted Twitter on Friday by reposting Donald Trump’s tweet calling for the outright extrajudicial slaughter of Americans protesting police brutality in Minneapolis,

which the social media site on Friday hid behind a label for “glorifying violence.” (https://gizmodo.com/twitter-says-trumps-tweet-encouraging-military-to-shoot-1843748249)

Twitter has now responded by doing exactly the same thing to the White House account.

The provocation was pretty obvious, beyond making it clear that

the White House just made Trump’s call to violence its official policy.

With Twitter already having dared to check Trump’s supposedly “personal” account,

the administration was challenging it to hide a tweet by the official account of the executive branch of the federal government.

Expect the president’s disgusting rhetoric—and his feud with Twitter—

to keep escalating in the coming hours, days, and weeks as he paints himself as the real victim here.

Senator Ted Cruz Calls For Criminal Investigation of Twitter

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), in a letter Friday to the Justice and Treasury departments, is calling for a criminal investigation of Twitter (https://www.axios.com/exclusive-cruz-calls-for-criminal-investigation-of-twitter-3bec3098-3fbf-45b2-a5bf-cbda7cace940.html) over allegations the company is violating U.S. sanctions against Iran. Twitter is already under fire from President Trump for adding fact checks and a warning label, respectively, to misleading and incendiary tweets he made in recent days. Cruz's letter adds another dimension to the tech company's woes in Washington. Twitter allows Iranian leaders to maintain accounts on its service, and Cruz is asking Attorney General Bill Barr and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin to probe whether that violates U.S. sanctions prohibiting American companies from providing goods or services to the country's top officials. "I believe that the primary goal of (the International Emergency Economic Powers Act) and sanctions law should be to change the behavior of designated individuals and regimes, not American companies," Cruz wrote."But when a company willfully and openly violates the law after receiving formal notice that it is unlawfully supporting designated individuals, the federal government should take action." In February, Cruz led a letter (https://www.cruz.senate.gov/files/documents/Letters/2020.02.06%20-%20Letter%20to%20Jack%20Dorsey%20Twitter%20CEO%20o n%20Iranian%20official%20use%20of%20platform.pdf.p df) from Republican senators to Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey, calling on the company to ban Iranian leaders from the site for the same reasons. Twitter responded (https://www.cruz.senate.gov/files/documents/Letters/2020.04.03%20Twitter%20Response%20to%20Cruz%20Cott on%20Blackburn%20and%20Rubio.pdf) in April, arguing that its service is exempt from the sanctions, and that the public conversation on the platform is critically important during the coronavirus pandemic.

"Fundamental values of openness, free expression, public accountability, and mutual understanding matter now more than ever," Vijaya Gadde, Twitter's legal, public policy & trust and safety lead, wrote. "Regardless of the political agenda of a particular nation state, to deny our service to their leaders at a time like this would be antithetical to the purpose of our company, which is to serve the global public conversation."

Court Rejects Lawsuit Claiming Social Media Companies Suppress Conservative Voices

The ruling arrives as President Trump has been accusing Twitter of silencing conservative voices

after the social media company decided to fact-check his tweets on mail-in balloting.

under Halleck (https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/18pdf/17-1702_h315.pdf),

‘a private entity who provides a forum for speech is not transformed by that fact alone into a state actor.’”

under the First Amendment,

the President has no power to constrain the free speech of a private company,

says the American Civil Liberties Union.

“The First Amendment also

clearly prohibits the President from taking any action to stop Twitter from pointing out his blatant lies about voting by mail,” said ACLU Senior Legislative Counsel Kate Ruane in a statement.
