usage, et cetera. and so, you know, it s just i don t know what to say about truth social. i think it s just it s gonna have trouble. let s just say. especially if he moves off of it. you know, these individualized specific sites, whether it s fat or whatever, they just don t seem to work. there s not enough people. and it s not enough yelling. even things like, you know, what s gonna happen here with facebook is what s happening on twitter right now. we have elon musk today, less than 24 hours, lebanon nick fuentes, a very controversial white supremacist figure, and then you kick them off in the same day. so this is gonna feel like groundhog day over never get into these companies. and that s the last thing they can afford to do. but cat, elon musk s move with nick fuentes it straight of trump s playbook. just create a noise, just create conflict, just create drama so you read the news story. that s what he does, and that s what trump does. yeah. he seems to like attention. ye

kara, trends like this for me. is nick clegg saying, yeah, trump s a big fat liar, but less people care now, so it s okay to have him back on? well, i m so glad facebook is assessing the threat to our country, but that s another issue altogether. it s an interesting comment. you know, they had no choice here. they had to put him back on. i think it was no surprise that there were putting him back on to most people. they thought that was gonna happen. you know, i think the real problem was a couple years ago, they didn t make a determination because they didn t know what to do during a really tense moment. so then, this had to be delivered two years later. so, i think the only thing that matters here is, what s gonna do with it? is it gonna raise money with it, is it gonna make trouble with it? et cetera. and whether the impact is as much as it used to be. i think it s not. i think people of moved on from social networks, and unfortunately, facebook is getting dragged back into calm p
