As terms of service go, in all honesty, they’re really not bad.

And, as a platform designed for all the world, and not just we sainted few of the [[Libtard|liberal metropolitan elite]], the rules should really follow common sense.

Very little legalese — though you can see a few places where the legal eagle in charge of the TOBs just help herself — “in a manner intended to artificially amplify or suppress information or engage in behavior” has a face only a legal ninja could love — and they make do broad sense.

Here you go, Mr. Musk: for a complimentary blue check for the hereafter, you are most welcome. It’s only going to be the two of us on the platform anyway, if Stephen King is to be believed.


Here you go, Mr Musk: you are welcome.
