Yet another reminder of convenient discrimination of Western platforms...FOE and all is good till the message aligns with Western narratives. I hope Wion has complained to IB Ministry and I hope the ministry grows a pair and takes some action against Google...banning YT perhaps would not be the solution but impose a really hefty fine...if Google/YT wants to continue operations in India, they will comply with fines.

WION should file a complaint and Indian Govt. should penalize 100 cr for every mistake

Seriously, every infraction from these woke illiberal SM platforms incld Wikipedia needs to be either made to pay through nose or just be banned for non compliance.

Posting from a news site as I couldn't figure out how to post the Twitter thread directly.
Musk's 79.1 million followers immediately called on him to either buy Twitter himself or build a new platform
He has now bought 10% stake in the company and has become it's largest shareholder.

Is he regretting that deep state took over and weaponizing or that woke crowd has become nazi enforcers or worried that people are pushing back against these nazis?

Jack’s tribal loyalty almost killed the platform. This idea that he and his tribe have a monopoly on the truth was completely ego driven and inherently evil.

Looking forward to working with Parag & Twitter board to make significant improvements to Twitter in coming months!
Elon Musk has now offered $43 billion to completely buy out Twitter. Like all things Elon, he may change his mind by lunch time and take back his offer ! And even if he stays firm it is unlikely Twitter will accept his offer. I don't understand the rationale though (many might say rationale and Elon Musk should not be used in the same sentence), but if Elon succeeds in buying out Twitter then what ? If his intentions are to democratize the platform then the left loonies including the current puppet masters of twitter will just build a alternate echo chamber and move there.

Twitter stock hasn't made money for stockholders in nearly 10 years. Rationale for stockholders is then to be able to get new management in place who might help bring more value to their investment. Also, with the new Indian CEO, cutting jobs and hiring Infosys or one of the Ukrainian tech companies hurting for business now should be enough to get the stock moving. Doesn't look like that will happen with current management.

But… but I was assured that now that Parag is in, Twitter will turn over a new leaf and wont be so anti India any more…
Meanwhile Musk already owns 9.2% and has turned down a board seat as it would have capped him at 14.9% stock.

Parag was Jack's nominee, so not much change should be expected. That's why this new offer would be attractive. I'm no longer invested in Twitter, so haven't kept track of who owns what. But usually this type of action would turn on what the institutions think unless they have now instituted dual share classes.

If it were only that easy to get users to switch platforms.
Looks like the left funded gang is not going without a fight.

I was more referring to certain members who claimed that not that dear old Parag is the CEO Twitter won’t be anti Indian anymore.

The other thing is that it could be a pump and dump scheme by Musk to drive up the stock price and then get rid of 10.3% stakes by getting a premium and netting a cool profit in the bargain

This is not a good or even relevant vector of discussion about the supreme court. However, satisfying it might be emotionally.
The case of milk man would have been followed right from the trial court to the high court and then on to the supreme court. The supreme court is only upholding the verdict of the lower court as per the law passed by the legislature.
Whereas the issues with the kashmiri pandits however emotive a has had no such judicial grounds.
A better approach for the Kashmiri pandits is going to be the government of India start prosecution of people who have killed people in the valley.

Can't the Supreme Court approach the government for this? They are doing it for so many other reasons.
In this case it is justice delayed as well as denied and it conveys that Supreme Court is not interested in delivering Justice to certain section of people. The Supreme Court is coming out as an institution which is serving the interests of the Judiciary more than that of the country and the common man.
The conventional wisdom in India is not to allow entry of Police, Politicians, Lawyers and Doctor in one's life; if you ever want to live peacefully and happily. The simple reason is that they are presumed to be most corrupt and untrustworthy by the common man and not without a reason.

Perhaps the same reason why previous governments did not do so.
The current government is trying to prosecute such people.
But the cold hard fact is that the pandits cannot go home.

Pandits can't go home, till example is made out of their tormentors and the ecosystem. This starts with imposing unacceptable cost upon the leadership. Terrorists are just the tools, actual perpetrators are Abdullas, Muftis, Congressis, with connivance of media personalities, police officers and compromised people in the Judiciary.
Has BJP constituted any committee for investigation into this - like a holocaust committee, made the report public and punished them in last 10 years to set an example about the cost imposed?? If it is not done, then rest all is lip service for political gains.
If there are no severe consequences for perpetrators Pundits cant go back. The window of doing so is very short. After they all die of old age, whom would you punish??
I don't think BJP is serious about it.

@Sassy_Hindu:
Several Hindu temples were demolished in TN under the claim of "encroachment" last yr. If the plea to stop bulldozing in Jahangirpuri was accepted then why not one which was filed to stop the selective razing of these temples, some of which were hundreds of years old? https://twitter.com/Sassy_Hindu/status/ ...

the deep state/agencies have a huge stake in ensuring that the SM companies stay firmly under their control
look at how that have managed the ukraine conflict so far.
they will not allow musk to take over, not unless musk is unquestionably ready to follow their diktats
look at what bezos has done with his woke newspaper WAPO and how India is being demonized by that paper almost everyday.
He pays the bills and the wokes/deep state(?) have full control over the content without any inputs from him

Well, Twitter will be crippled unless they can find another deep pocketed acquirer to come along. Some part of the difference between $54.20 and probably $25 now will have paid out to stockholders if the board botches the deal. Twitter does not have that much cash on hand, and is already on the hook to pay almost $800 million for a previous securities lawsuit. If Musk is serious, I'm expecting the screws to be turned soon by dropping the bid 20% or so to match the decline in valuations since the bid was placed.

Slightly tangential but FL lawmakers removed special status for Disney since they tried to wade into politics. They same thing might happen to twitter in case they botch the deal. Obama said more censorship is required (just last night or this morning).

Elonn Musk has filed with SEC about his funding regarding a $46B bid for Twitter. Out of this $21B is his own money from Tesla stock. This should now make the Twitter board to consider the offer more seriously.
On another note what makes this company worth so much? It does not make profits and does not produce anything.
