It won't, but it will be sold, and the moderation and censorship practices will change.
Lmao. Sure buddy.
Ok who's gonna buy it?
Steve Mnuchin.
Long as it aint musk or bezos or gates
if this thing is being sold because it's a propaganda and data mining risk, selling it to a cohort of government insiders doesn't make me feel better.
If there wasn't a grift in progress they would have banned it in totality instead of banning only if they dont sell.
Pretty sure last time around there were potential buyers. I think Walmart was one of them, and so was Oracle.
I imagine we'll see the same names pop up again.
