Piercing The Veil Or Piercing The Silo

Prior to The New York Times  losing its blue mark, entitled liberals (like @takethepwrback) complained that my posts were showing up in "their" feeds - as if they owned the platform - yet still took the time to read my posts critical of the NYT and launched a coordinated inauthentic behavior loaded with ad hominem attacks - not once did they come up with a better argument other than to  reference a Wired piece titled "Elon Musk's Twitter Files Are a Feast For Conspiracy Theorists" 



Even though Andrew Lowenthal says that "The #TwitterFiles show how "anti-disinformation" academics and NGOs undermined free speech and expression," and Musk says the NYTimes' 'propaganda isn't even interesting' and their Twitter feed is the 'equivalent of diarrhea'


While Far Left Propagandist NYT has been MIA on the Twitter Files, and LinkedIn will ban you if you challenge the medical establishment. As far as silos go, LinkedIn is the biggest Intellectual Inbreeding Silo in the world




Then there's Compact's Christian Parenti' "But the DOJ, FBI, CIA Infiltrated left-wing social movements, so it's OK to do it to conservatives' fallacy.


Businesses registered as limited liability companies (LLCs) or corporations provide their owners with protection against being held personally liable for the company’s debts and claims as long as the reasonable people principle is properly applied

The legal separation between a business and its owners is known as the Corporate Veil.  Failure to adhere to the reasonable people may lead to piercing the corporate veil


On November 2003,  President Bush discussed freedom in Iraq and Middle East saying:

"Freedom of the press and the free flow of ideas are vital foundations of liberty. To cut through the hateful propaganda that fills the airwaves in the Muslim world and to promote open debate, we're broadcasting the message of tolerance and truth in Arabic and Persian to tens of millions. In some cities of the greater Middle"

Likewise  Big Tech promised to democratize the world by offering free Internet. But  it quickly carved out silos, monetizing hate and division.
The bigger the #Silo, the more advertising money. The Twitter Files have shown an unholy alliance between government, Legacy Media, Big Tech.

As Ryan Lovelace writes in the Washington Times "Twitter owner Elon Musk is preparing to make a series of changes to Twitter in the coming days, including making the social media platform’s algorithm open source and overhauling the company’s verification process"

As Musk makes good on his pledge to use open source algorithms, to overhaul the Twitter incestuous verification process and taking the blue check mark away from The New York Times he may be piercing the Twitter Silo. or the equivalent of taking down a Chinese Spy Balloon.





In either case, it will for sure 
 will renew the threat of a liberal Twitter Exodus.  


Those staying will still complain about contrarian views invading "their" silos - aka feeds
