The "wardrobe malfunction" was from the halftime show, which the network had no responsibility for AFAIK. The network wouldn't have any responsibility if a fan had streaked the field during the game either. But what if a YouTube employee had said something during that broadcast that was defamatory? In theory, YouTube would have more responsibility because as the employer, YouTube could tell the person what he or she can and cannot say, and if the person fails to comply, YouTube could fire him/her and prevent him/her from ever appearing on another YouTube broadcast. This same person could still create a YouTube account and post stuff to the platform as a member of the general public, but it seems like the company should be more responsible for the actions of an employee vs. the actions of a non employee user.

Elon hoping Tucker will move to the centre:
If you know of a better way to pull together two polarised camps I would like to hear it.

Surely those on the left have to admit that Fox being brought down is good?
Tucker will probably remain on the right because there is no centre ground as yet and there is a definite audience on the right that he can at least prevent from going further right. It is in Tuckers interest to keep Elon on side to maximise his money and influence on the platform. Elon will move him slowly to the centre. Or at least what was the centre.

If Musk is serious about turning Twitter into an “everything” app, does it make sense to require users to use it for tweeting?
Twitter: Why is Elon Musk purging inactive accounts?

Twitter, like other social media platforms, is where conspiracy theories can proliferate. But Musk, joining in on the conspiracy spreading by tweeting responses like “interesting” and “wow”, lends credence to those theories by people who respect him.
Tucker Carlson Is Launching a New Show on Twitter
Tucker Carlson Is Launching a New Show on Twitter
So, bringing in Tucker Carlson is the best imaginable way to fix the ideological rift on Twitter and in the nation?
X is the everything app, not Twitter. I expect Twitter to be a page within X as well as retaining its original app.

I see… but does this mean that the handle at X will differ from a user’s handle at Twitter? That would hurt the concept of a one-stop shop.

Elon is nowhere near the center and has been moving more towards the right. He doesn't care about facts and simply pushes his "anti woke" agenda at any cost. Tucker also doesn't care about facts which are in contrast to his narrative, as proven recently when his true thoughts were exposed behind the scenes. If anything Tucker will push him further into the extremes. Elon is turning Twitter into another Truth Social/Parlor, neither of which has been successful because of their narrow target audience.
Um... I see you're from the UK. So maybe you're not familiar with Tucker Carlson's content.
Expecting Tucker Carlson to become more centrist would be like expecting Goebbels to to become more centrist.

Are you going to delete Internet also from your life?
Twitter just reflects the dialogs, debates and opinions of various individuals. Just like people who like echo chambers like CNN and Fox, you can confine yourself to your echo chamber in Twitter.
It has Carlson and it has AoC too. Both are fake masters. But it has other people too.
The signal to noise ratio on Twitter is horrendous. And far too much of the noise is generated by horrible people. Should have deleted months ago.
How so? I find this argument extremely silly. You are just repeating what the media tells you to think.
You can follow only what you consider as signal. I am sure there are individuals from various fields - science, tech, sports, politics, media, arts, entertainment, etc.. that you have some respect and would consider as reasonable source of truth. You can can just follow them and ignore the rest.
As for me, I follow individuals on both sides of the aisle. I want to see who is lying the least .
In this case, a sexist. So much so, he was fired for it. His politics, whatever they are, aren’t really the point.
This and the Carlson move are Elon promoting Twitter as a refuge for media personalities who are too sexist, racist and/or conspiracy-minded for either side of the media aisle. It’s hard to spin this as Twitter improving itself.
Exactly. It's not worth the hours of my life I'd lose reading Twitter and fact checking all of the crap on there. I have better things to be doing than constantly telling stupid people that they're stupid.
