Default United suspends advertising on Twitter

United just couldn't help themselves and caved to the woke mob once again. The Blue Checkmarks are in full meltdown mode over Elon Musk so United has suspended advertising on Twitter instead of risking to offend the vocal minority.

Facebook is about to go through sizable layoffs, and it will be interesting to observe the differences in media coverage.

Regardless of social or political persuasion, sympathy towards those about to lose their jobs during the holidays is warranted.

Sorry, not if that crowd directly partook in tearing apart society ever since 2015/6 from Trump v Clinton to present time. Social media (especially Twitter and FB) became echo chambers and tore down societal norms and common courtesy. It helped create the animosity and the lack of reaching out or at least being amicable to someone from the opposite party.

It would be a good day for society if Twitter and FB went the way of the dodo bird.

Yes. Totally agree! Of course those former Twitter peeps will likely pull this thread momentarily.

Bologna. Vindication is a real and warranted thing.

Good. Also, you need to write Fox and ask them for some new buzzwords that mean literally nothing.

Since his takeover last week, hate speech, disinformation and antisemitic content have surged on the platform as the South African-born billionaire has vowed to restore “free speech” on Twitter feeds.

Taking a moment to asses whether or not they want their brand associated with "hate speech, disinformation and antisemitic content" makes United woke?
