"How to pick out what's relevant. They would be running the software. That's exactly what Jack Dorsey talks about. And I hope blue sky comes up with something even better. And if there's some reason why Keaton hole punch and all that stuff doesn't work, well, I hope blue sky figures it out or no stir or Mastodon or anything else. But I've been trying to get worked with a couple of different people and I'm trying to I'm trying to push for this. I really want to get some of these things done and I'm trying to devote some resources to it. So this might actually be a good time to ask if there are any developers out there. Anybody who's interested in working on slash tags, particularly right now who is good with WordPress and WordPress plugins. We've got part of one put together and I am happy to fund its conclusion for slash tags. I want it to be a simple plugin, download a plugin, and you have slash tag users on WordPress. And I've got a handful of all the projects and things that I really want to get into, like I've been trying to devote more and more resources to this and we've made a bunch of fun little tools here and there. But I want to get a little bit more serious about it. And this, I think, is a push that, you know, like, my goal is always to make a return. But I think there's something about, it would be nice to make a return. That's probably the better way to put it. And so if there was a way to make money off of it, cool. But honestly, you know, and I think this is indicative in what Jack Dorsey is trying to do in this. And I also think it's indicative of Bitcoin, the alignment that Bitcoin puts you on. If I spent $20,000 on a project like something like this, but I ended up with something really awesome. Like something that helped the system, something that really solved a problem and that people could use. And pushed us forward into that next thing and figured something out. If I didn't make a single sat of that bag. I spent a Bitcoin if I spent 5 Bitcoin trying to do that. And I actually succeeded, or I felt like I meaningfully moved the ball forward and got us to that future faster. That wouldn't be a loss to me. Now I'm not a developer, like I can screw around with, you know, some code here and there and some scripting in that sort of thing and I can install something that's annoying and complicated to install if a fight at it for a little while. But I can't build it myself. The best I can do is help direct and give a vision of what I'm looking for and hopefully find someone else that can build these things and fund it. So in my own tiny little way I want to do what Jack Dorsey is trying to do. Just quite a bit more directed at exactly the things that I want to see. And unfortunately a lot smaller than what he's up to, but hey, if we can all do one small piece, I don't know who else is out.

"But even that just kind of has like an element of like, okay, I gotta make sure I'm broadcasting and I'm connecting to the right relays and if I can't find somebody, what does that mean? And now I kind of have to have to have an idea of the architecture to go search them out specifically to figure out why I can't find them or why I can't get this person's feed. But before I talk a little bit, talk too much about specific examples. I want to hit Jack Dorsey's proposals here, or excuse me, his principles. The first one is, quote, of course, governments want to shape and control the public conversation and we'll use every method at their disposal to do so, including the media. Now I. There's this element of like suggesting this seemingly obvious reality to people. Get you called a conspiracy theorist. It's like, what does the government have dishonest to ourselves? Do we have to be to not see the blatantly obvious? That is unbelievable that is common sense to me. That that is what the government does, and they have absolutely no qualms doing it. It's the whole process of politics. It's not about telling the truth, it's not about having the most sound position or the most the most knowledgeable take. It's about perspective. It's about positioning yourself to look like the best. It is appealing to the lowest common denominator, and we see it in every single one of them. This is why I use that analogy that I think it's like a bad reality TV show that everybody knows is corrupt and full of shit, but because they steal from everyone first and then they use this reality TV show to distribute the funds. Everybody has to defensively watch this garbage orchestration, and then they vote for the liar that they think is actually going to maybe give them back some of the peace of the massive theft that has been funneled through this idiotic system. Because we see it over and over again. We see politicians stand in a completely in front of one crowd from one demographic and say one thing and then they go to a completely different demographic and they behave differently. They say something totally different. They completely like it's all PR. The whole thing is PR. You think they get in power? They actually achieve more power and more control and they have direct access to authority and they have the respect and the fear of media incorporations and they stop doing this behavior. You think it doesn't get ten times worse? Of course. Governments will shape and control the public conversation, that is all politics is. How can we get things that we want done? How can we please our beneficiaries?

"Our great stuff. In the freaking show notes, guys. All right. With that, let's get into today's read. And its titled. A native Internet protocol for social media. By Jack Dorsey. A continued to believe there was no ill intent or hidden agendas, and everyone acted according to the best information we had at the time. Of course, mistakes were made, but if we had focused more on tools for the people using the service rather than tools for us and moved much faster towards absolute transparency, we probably wouldn't be in this situation of needing a fresh reset, which I am supportive of. Again, I own all of this and our actions, and all I can do is work to make it right. Back to the principles. Of course, governments want to shape and control the public conversation, and we'll use every method at their disposal to do so, including the media. And the power a corporation wields to do the same, is only growing. It's critical that the people have tools to resist this, and that those tools are ultimately owned by the people. Allowing a government or a few corporations to own the public conversation is a path towards centralized control. I'm a strong believer that any content produced by someone for the Internet should be permanent until the original author chooses to delete it. It should be always available and addressable. Content takedowns and suspensions should not be possible. Doing so complicates important context, learning, and enforcement of illegal activity. There are significant issues with this stance, of course, but starting with this principle will allow for far better solutions than we have today. The Internet is trending towards a world where storage is quote free and infinite, which places all the actual value on how to discover and see content. Which brings me to the last principle, moderation. I don't believe a centralized system can do content moderation globally.

Twitter says it will relax ban on political advertising
"Twitter says it will ease up on its three year old ban on political advertising, the latest change by Elon Musk as he tries to pump up revenue after purchasing the social media platform last year. In what else but a tweet Twitter says we're relaxing our ads policy for cause based ads in the U.S.. We also plan to expand the political advertising we permit. Twitter banned all political ads in 2019 reacting to growing concern about misinformation spreading on social media. At the time, then CEO Jack Dorsey said the power of those ads bring significant risk to politics where it can be used to influence votes, the latest move appears to represent a break from that policy, political ads made up a sliver of Twitter's overall revenue accounting for less than $3 million of total spending for the 2018 U.S. midterm election. I'm Julie Walker.

Candace Owens and Charlie Reminisce About Meeting Jack Dorsey
"Candace, you brought me to a meeting with Jack Dorsey. I did. We talk about we have not talked about this in a very long time, but I talk about it on my show. And I tell people, I have so accurately assessed Jack Dorsey, because I kept saying that I think people turned him into a boogeyman because he never really spoke out. Like Mark Zuckerberg is very in your face. I'm the CEO of Facebook, and he's just very easy not to like, it looks like a lizard. But Jack Dorsey was sort of quiet. And the Buddhist thing going on. Right. And I'm sorry you've interrupted my meditation hour. And I think that people thought that he was much more evil than he was, and that my take from having met him several times was that he was very much a person who does not like attention, a techie, just exactly what you would imagine somebody who was just a pure techie to be. And he didn't know how to deal with this thing that he did create to make people more freer and he was almost like held hostage at his own company. When you and I met with him and that summer, I mean, you read him super well. And I remember afterwards we were walking in that kind of Twitter headquarters area and you said nice campus, by the way. It was amazing. And you said Stockholm syndrome. You said this guy is being held captive by you'll Roth was not in the meeting. But by these kind of engineers, what do you remember from that meeting? I remember some, I wish I would remember more. I just remember feeling like he was not in charge, which was a very weird thing to come in and to me. That's right. That's correct. I remember he was kind of slouched over. He bites his nails. This is not somebody who was confident. It was somebody who had created something that was bigger than him. And I felt bad for him. And I knew that was such a weird thing to feel because we were supposed to hate everybody was like, oh, hey, and he's a part of this social media. And I'm like, I don't think he likes Mark Zuckerberg. I don't think he likes what's happening to his company. What he doesn't, he doesn't have that sort of spirit to stand up to wrongness. Not every single person is a warrior.

The Latest Twitter Files Show How, Once Again, Trump Is Vindicated
"What's the biggest story in the country right now? Well, I would say it's the Twitter files. Not that there aren't other important stories. There is the economy. There is the border, but in terms of these revelations coming out, almost in successive waves. And I want to focus on the latest one, which journalists Barry Weiss calls Twitter files part 5. This is getting again very little if any, mainstream media coverage. They're embarrassed. They, this is their strategy, was their strategy with 2000 meals. Let's try to ignore it. Let's hope it kind of all goes away. If it doesn't go away, we'll have to wade in and start attacking Elon Musk. And some of that is starting to happen. But by and large, nothing on NBC, nothing on CBS, nothing on ABC virtually nothing in the rest of the mainstream media. Now, this, I think, makes it even more obligatory for podcasts like mine to relay what we're actually finding out. And that's really what I want to do in the next couple of segments. So the focus here is on the banning of Trump from Twitter and how that came about. It came about right around January 6th and we're going to look at it blow by blow. So the first part of what happens is that is the Trump right after January 6th, tweets out. The 75 million great American patriots who voted for me America first and make America great again will have a giant voice long into the future. They will not be disrespected or treated unfairly in any way, shape or form. Wow, whoop do you do? And then Trump goes on to say in a second tweet that he's not going to go to the inauguration. Now, interestingly, there is a movement gathering at Twitter. Of Twitter employees demanding that they ban Trump. And one Twitter employee says, there's a lot of employee advocacy happening and The Washington Post in the early afternoon of January publishes a letter signed by 300 Twitter employees to Jack Dorsey, demanding that Trump be banned. We must examine Twitter's complicity in what president elect Biden has rightly termed insurrection. So Twitter now begins to look at Trump's tweets. And they conclude, he's not violating their rules in any way.

More Twitter News With Ben Weingarten of Real Clear Investigations
"There's so much going on with the Twitter saga. In fact, in real time right now, there are more Twitter files being dropped. Twitter files from Barry Weiss, where I'm actually going our team is going through them in real time all about staff meetings and Jack Dorsey and vijaya Gotti answering staff questions as to why Trump wasn't banned yet. There's a lot of drama here. But joining us now from real clear investigations is Ben white garten, Ben. Welcome back to the program. Charlie, thanks for having me. It's always a pleasure. Okay, so Ben, how red up are you on these recent Twitter files? It's hard to kind of track this while also hosting a show. Anything new or scintillating that has been broken today? I think a lot of this is more of the same. What we see here are the deliberations of Twitter's speech police in the immediate days, 48 hours after January 6th, 2021. And we see more of this sort of thought crime ad libbing here in the way of executives not being able to find something in their terms of service to justify Trump, stretching for incitement or insurrection grounds to try and justify something, which is Barry Weiss, right, we know it's in this latest threat of tweets that we as far as I've gotten, that other world leaders were never subjected to the kind of standard that employees were clamoring for when it came to Trump. And I think it shows you how ad hoc and arbitrary they were here in their censorship. As we've seen in some of the other files and maybe the most revealing thing is the dissent internally from one unnamed Chinese employee who basically says, isn't this kind of what we do in communist countries aren't their problems when it comes to chilling the speech of leaders isn't more speech better than west beach.

Dinesh Reveals Details About the 'Gang of Three'
"The biggest story in the country right now is the Twitter files and it's really interesting that this is a story that the mainstream media is not covering for the most part pretending it doesn't exist. New York Times, of course, did do an article on the kind of the strange politics of Elon Musk, but they're not covering the files themselves. And let's review. We're talking about four troves of data, three of them have already been on court. The fourth is coming soon. So the first wave, the first file, was the censorship of the Hunter Biden story. And there was a long thread on that and it devastatingly exposed the way in which Twitter, but now this by implication applies to other platforms as well, suppress the story, not because it was false, but because it was true. And there was FBI participated in the suppression, so there are a lot of bad actors here. And that Twitter, of course, the bad actors were Jack Dorsey, agarwal, who replaced him as the CEO. And this creepy character who I'll talk about a little bit more in the next segment, you'll Roth. 35 years old, the guy out at right out of swarthmore, and these guys are making decisions for the whole country. What people can see what they can talk about, they're deciding whether to ban congressman, they're deciding whether Trump should be banned. It's really scary when you think back about the kind of power that these strange characters exercise. Now there's some debate Elon Musk I think seems to think that Jack Dorsey is not the main culprit. In fact, he once said that Jack has a quote P or heart. And I think if this is true, then Jack is a little bit like, well, there's a character industrial ski that is called the idiot title, by the way, of when it does to exchange books. And by idiot does, he doesn't mean he's a dummy. It means he's an innocent. He's doesn't know how the world functions. So it could be that Jack Dorsey is an idiot in that sense and being manipulated by the diabolical troika of Parag agarwal Vijay to Asian Indians and this creepy all Roth character.

How Much Did Jack Dorsey Know About Twitter Shadowbanning?
"Three questions left and then let's move to China. First one is Jack Dorsey testified as did other Twitter people. Do you have to concern that they were not forthcoming in that testimony, whether intentionally or because they simply didn't know it was going on in the company? I'd be very surprised if Jack was not honest. I know Jack Dorsey much better than I know Elon Musk. I've known him for years, not well, but being from Silicon Valley, I've known him. He is actually always cared about free speech. It seems to me that some of the things actually happening in that company were happening without his knowledge. So I doubt that he would have intentionally been misleading. Now whether they're parts of his testimony that he would correct in light of evidence that has come out that may very well be possible.

Elon Musk Is Causing a Huge Stir at Twitter
"Musk is causing a huge stir because of what he's doing at Twitter. And one of the things he's doing is the Twitter cleanup. And the Twitter cleanup as it turns out goes much deeper than we. And perhaps even than Elon Musk's suspected. He started out by booting out pyro, agarwal, the CEO of Twitter. And also vijaya gade to Asian Indians, by the way, she was the chief legal officer. They were clearly part of the problem. But at the beginning, Elon Musk seemed to think that Jack, Jack Dorsey, the founder of Twitter, was a good guy. In fact, at one point, Elon Musk tweeted out Jack has a pure heart. And then Elon didn't dig deeper into Twitter, at least not initially. But when he released the original Twitter files, and these were the files about the Hunter Biden suppression, the suppression of the laptop, the suppression of the Biden crime racket, the effort to protect Biden before the election and even to some degree after the election. Elon Musk realized is astonishment that these Twitter files had been handed over to a guy who's been at Twitter, his name is James baker, he's formerly an FBI guy, and what James baker was doing was altering these files apparently in order to protect the FBI. So even the information being released in a kind of full disclosure to the public was being itself edited. By James baker. And so Elon Musk steps in fires James baker and excellent move. By the way, he needs to go ahead and fire the Perkins coie law firm, which was hired under the old regime to represent Twitter. So Musk has realizing that you have to clean this place up. It is rat infested and the rats are a kind of everywhere.

Former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey Lied About Shadow Banning
"Dave Rubin treated to him all the way back in 2020 and he said Jack do you shadow ban based on political beliefs Simple yes or no we'll do Through the tweets right here for those of you watching Fox nation at home You can see it on rumble too If you watch a video version Jack replied back to Dave And at the end of 2020 ten 14 2020 No So now it's pretty clear at this point that obviously Jack when he said under oath when he said on the road in front of a congressional hearing that they don't shadow ban that he was resolutely gonna stick to this story no matter what Remember he said that in 2018 Jim you have that other audio right Do you know when this is from This is 2018 It was a CNN what it was the interviewer with you This is Jack Dorsey in 2018 on CNN So now we've got him in front of Congress under oath right hand in the air swearing to tell the truth the whole truth nothing but the truth mister Dorsey do you shadow ban no that's a lie I've got him now answering Dave Rubin on Twitter Do you shadow band a simple yes or no No The Rubin will come up he's going to be our gaslighter David We'll ask him about it Here's Dorsey again in 2018 In a media interview in case you're under some crazy you know delusional belief system that he's just making it up or misspeaking He says again he doesn't shadow band Check this out The president called you offer shadow banning What is the truth around that idea Look try to banning is a very widely defined term There's not one single definition So the definition that we found that seems to resonate with the most people is not amplifying particular messengers or if someone puts out a tweet hiding that tweet from everyone without that person who tweeted it knowing about it So but the real question behind the question is are we doing something according to political ideology of your points And we are not period We do not look at content with regards to political viewpoint or ideology We look at behavior

Darren Beattie: Does Elon Musk Believe in Permanent Bans?
"Make of the Kanye West permanent ban? What's that before we get into this Eric holder situation? Well, we'll have to see whether it's actually permanent. I mean, there is a special advantage to having a direct line to Elon and it's clear that Kanye or VA or whatever he's called. He has that direct line. And so I think deep down Elon, just like Jack Dorsey, nobody believes in sort of permanent punishment without any opportunity for redemption. So we'll just have to see how it plays out as to the policy itself. I mean, it certainly contradicts Elon's previously stated preference that basically we go by what legal speech is. So assuming that Kanye said nothing illegal, which I don't think he did. He shouldn't be banned for it. But so practical matter, we live in a practical world, Elon is far more practical, I think, than a lot of people imagine. And it could very well just be the practical messy reality that Elon's done a tremendous amount for Twitter already. And he needs to offer a couple sacrifices to the sensors in order to keep up what he's been doing at least at these initial stages. And I think we can all probably agree that Ye was certainly certainly testing limits and making things difficult for Elon. So maybe it's just as a matter of practical reality, that's what that's what Elon had to do, even though it violates his stated preference of just saying, okay, if it's legal speech, it should be allowed on Twitter at least for American users.

Hey Media, Your Bias Is Showing
"Gentlemen, I got a special guest coming on Ken lacourt. We're going to talk about a media censorship, YouTube, not YouTube, specifically, but Twitter. And how they covered up the Hunter Biden story. And people in power and powerful places that are all I can say, I'm just going to leave it at that. Have admitted that they've covered it up. They've admitted that they've covered it up, David admitted that they've done wrong. It's coming out, you know, we got Elon Musk coming out and saying, look, I'm a release, or at least he's teasing at the fact that he may release email correspondence of upper staff trying to suppress the story of Hunter Biden's laptop. And to be honest, I think that it's shameful that they would do something like that because it then shows their explicit bias. And let me just say this real quick before I bring my guest on, it shows their bias. And it's funny how the mainstream media is more concerned about Elon Musk providing or allowing free speech than Jack Dorsey them suppressing information to essentially affect an election.

What on Earth Is Happening With Twitter?
"What on earth is happening with Twitter? I'm seeing all these conflicting remarks. Elon actually going to buy Twitter. Well, let's first go to some of the kind of legislative debates on this on Capitol Hill, senator Josh hawley, one of my favorite senators ripping Twitter to shreds, play cut 68. Which is that Twitter has been all too eager to take private information from its users without telling them to sell it and monetize it without their permission. To expose them to the worst kind of security threats to censor them to spy on them. I mean, you have painted a picture of a company that is not only out of control, but it's truly in many ways a malign actor. Continues here, former Twitter security chief says the platform's leadership is misleading the public, lawmakers, and regulators. Play cut 53. Twitter leadership is misleading the public lawmakers regulators and even its own board of directors. What I discovered when I joined Twitter was that this enormously influential company was over a decade behind industry security standards. The company's cybersecurity failures make it vulnerable to exploitation. Causing real harm to real people. Oh, Jack Dorsey, lying under oath, how interesting. I wonder if he'll be prosecuted. Not only that Twitter has become a glorified Democrat super PAC, doing the censoring the scrubbing and the silencing on behalf of the entire Democrat regime. Elon might be forced to buy it, but at a lower price that lawsuit is ongoing, but Twitter is nowhere near as valuable as it once was. And thanks to the persistent pressure we've applied Twitter is collapsing. That's a good thing.

Dinesh Reveals Why Elon Musk Is Giving the Left Panic Attacks
"I want to talk about Elon Musk and Twitter and I speak about this with someone who has an almost vested stake in this because quite honestly, the great traction behind our movie is in part being driven by Twitter. I don't mean the Twitter I was pushing, and I mean the fact that there's free speech or something closely approximating free speech, this is how we can talk openly about topics and quite honestly we can't talk about the same topics on a number of the other platforms. And but you'd be like YouTube. And Facebook. Yeah, I mean, those platforms have become a joke. I mean, we're still on them, at least for now, Debbie's like, who knows how long we're going to be on those platforms. We don't know and quite honestly, at the end of the day, we don't care. But let's come back to Elon Musk because his vision for Twitter. And he's going to be in the saddle very shortly. It's really important.

And now Jack Dorsey appears to be like Elon Musk's sidekick. He's like tonto and Elon Musk is like the lone ranger. And so Jack Dorsey now says things like, no, no, no. We can't permanently bound anyone from Twitter. Wasn't I'm the Jack Dorsey that Trump got permanently banned. So now that Elon Musk goes no prominent bands, Jack Dorsey is no point in bands.

Sen. Rand Paul Unsure if Trump Would Return to Twitter
"Elon Musk confirming yesterday that if and when he gets control of Twitter, he's going to welcome Trump back to Twitter. Oh, look at this. Jack Dorsey, now a supports Trump returning to Twitter. The ACLU supports reinstating Donald Trump. Where were all those folks for the last two years, senator? All I can say is, you know, I've been threatening and threatening to quit Twitter and I quit YouTube because they censor me, but I haven't quit Twitter. But if Elon Musk takes over, it gets rid of the sensors, I love his irreverent sarcasm and he's actually just playing funny a lot of the times. And actually, I don't even know his politics. I think he may have a libertarian street tumor, I don't think he's either conservative or liberal. I think he's probably a mixture of a lot of different beliefs that the younger generation believes him. But it might not always agree with, but my goodness, do I agree with freedom of speech without question? I think he's going to make it a fun place again. But you know what? I doubt Trump will come back, you know, he's in a direct competitor now. He's got a bunch of money invested in this true social. So I would be very surprised if he came back to Twitter.

Why do you have to pay over and over again for to get it on Xbox to get it on your phone to get it on wherever? But when I read that, the thing that occurred to me because I've made the point before many times that well the thing that's going to crack open the app stores is gaming. And your piece made me say that the deeper level to that is that in the sort of web three cents where a game is sort of agnostic IP like it should be able to function on any platform like whereas again the very basic cynical take on what epic is trying to do is, oh, they're trying to break up in the App Store to improve their margins or whatever.

You should be able to game specific game on any device.

"Rad power bikes dot com. The other topic that we want to talk about today was about something else that's changing in the world. Not naming per se, but gaming. And before we do that, can I just oh please, really quick thing. The technical account actually just tweeted that Jack previewed squared 12 years ago today. So maybe the timing of this was maybe three 14? No. Preordained. I feel like I feel like it was planned a little bit. I don't know if that's like a week or a month or years. But I thought that was telling. The other really, really small point I want to make is that the confusion that I feel like is going to keep happening between block and blocks. Yeah. Is that they have the blocks Twitter account the block Twitter account, which is just hilarious given that just a day ago. I would have used eminent domain to get it. Why did he not? Exactly. And that's just surprising. So he's not even used. It's like an account that was a private account from that was joined in 2012. Maybe it's used, but that's probably we don't know, but yeah, join the nation. But yeah, that was just a small tidbit. That was hilarious. That was pretty funny. And to be fair, so I want to take name actually earlier today was pointing out that blocks as a parent company makes kind of a little bit more sense. And each division of block. It's so good, right? You start with square and what is like a three dimensional square. It's like a block. And the block blockchain, like really, I tweeted about how this is like a day level rebranding. That's just like it goes so deep and you're like satisfied by figuring out the puzzle of it. Anyway, I thought it was very good. Is it too late to return to glocks? Makes a lot of sense to me. Well, I think the registered a very web three kind of crypto domain, which is block XYZ, which is by the way, is beautiful and was done by, I guess the cash apps motion designer, who apparently follows me. Really, really well done there. But they're moving off of the dot com era anyways. So probably they could probably be blocks block whatever they want to be. Well, they also did their crypto service spiral is now spiral. XYZ. They start in a tread here. We had maybe ABC or XYZ. Now that way. I mean, I would say that the XYZ thing has been going on for a while. It is kind of like the crypto domain, whether it's like islands XYZ, which just launched or mirror, which has been around for a while or just a bunch. I don't know how it's like the new IO dot. Yes. Yes. Specifically for crypto, yeah. Yeah. Idea is available. Block dot XYZ is? It blocks that XYZ. It doesn't result. I was going to say, not anymore, is blocks ethanol? Those are all now being squadron on open sea. Jeremiah knows about this. Jeremiah was one of the first to sort of warn me that I needed to get my dot eth address. And so I did. And anyways, that's a whole different story. Okay. Let me grab. Let me grab. Because vlog, we sold you on coming on the show to talk about games. Although I'm glad that you had so much to say about Jack, because Chris and I would have been fighting at this point..

"All right, we're back. Let's talk about the other things right towards you did. He left Twitter. He's like, it's my decision, super proud of this guy. Good luck to you. I'm off the board too. And then the next day he changed the name of his other company square to block there is a great meme today about the block leadership page and what the avatars look like to a blockhead. It's a lot. Alex, what is going on with block? Yeah, a block is the new holding company that was once squared includes square cash app and a couple of their Bitcoin crypto moonshots to keep that word going. Wait, can we just hold on? Is it a holding company like alphabet's a holding company or holding company like meta is a holding company? Neither? I don't know. I mean, I think there are going to be reporting things the same on earnings. So if that answers the question, then I think it's more like meta, even though meta is going to change how it reports things a little bit on the next earnings. They also have title under this holding company, which is title, which is like why? I think this makes sense. If you're going to get into Bitcoin, you actually want to have a little bit of distance between your crypto stuff and square, which needs to be rock solid, reliable, don't think about it, say for small businesses, just use it. So you want those ideas separated out from each other a little bit. The cash app is there and having that feel a little bit more separate from square. Also makes a kind of sense. It's sort of a different thing. And yeah, you got title, which obviously. Some of the pieces change music. Sure. There you go. I mean, I will say that block homepage, which is blocked XYZ. Look at the top is a playlist curated by Jay-Z. Oh, that was sick. First corporate tech rebrand with a Jay-Z playlist. All right, maybe that's what they part title. Also, Jason has made so much time on his hands. On that situation. Well, I mean, he's also a billionaire. He's on to the next thing. He's like, I'm good with this. Making dad rap is not where I need to be in my life. My favorite content moderation. How about putting out a better album, Jane? Why? Four four four is great. I think so my favorite conspiracy theory with all this with block rebranding and Twitter looking at decentralized social media is that this is all a giant and Jack stepping off the board by the way of Twitter, which is notable. He's not just he's relinquishing his board seat, which is highly unusual for a founder. To do a clean break, is that this is all set up for block to buy Twitter. And it become this decentralized social media version of wow. And like Jack has wanted to do this before I've heard. He's like floated the idea of how can square and Twitter work closer together, potentially merge. It's obviously never gotten serious, but I could see it. Okay, so yes, so I have considered this too. And it is the first Twitter you mean? But like Disney, I find the content to toxic. But I think the fact that Jack left the board lends credence to the idea that Elliott pushed him out because Alex and you all will probably remember that the way that Jack was able to finagle his way back into the CEO role was that the first time he was fired as CEO, he was able to maintain his board seat. So if you're Elliot, you know that history, and you're saying, fool me once, shame on me, but not again. You're out of here, buddy, right? So I'm sure that Jack does want to do this, but I think it would be easier if he were still odd the Twitter board. And now he won't be. Now, that's not to say that he won't continue to have good relationships with a lot of people there that it's still not possible, but I do think it would be easier if he had some formal role left in Twitter. So if that's what if that's what he wanted and he were actually empowered to do it, he would still be on that board. Right, that's fair. He's definitely not empowered to do it. I'm just saying it's a great conspiracy theory. Well, no, this is like when Stephen elop was sent out of Microsoft to Nokia and then himself back to Microsoft. Jack Lee, you see, appoints his guy, you know, and eventually they're going to release a Windows mobile cell phone. Try out for a burning platform memo on a Twitter. I mean, it is literally a platform that they're trying to build here. There's a lot of weird stuff happening and we haven't even talked about Brett Taylor, the new board chair of Twitter, which unlike meta actually has significance and like governance power being the board chair of Twitter because it's not a dual class control company. He was also so he gets named he's been the CEO of Salesforce, super connected guy in Silicon Valley, been on the Twitter board for a while. He gets named board here on Monday on Tuesday he gets named co CEO of Salesforce and then the information puts out a story saying he's actually still reporting to Mark benioff. So embarrassing. Can you imagine telling your parents that you actually still report to Mark benioff after you've just been announced as the co CEO? I would be mortified. Well, I'm sure Brett is he's laughing to the bank. But the idea that maybe there's something connected with all of this. What was going on? Why did he get this random co CEO role that's kind of like a fake role? And then the Twitter board, there's drama here that we do not fully know. And that's just my way of saying I wish I knew it. And if you know it, reach out. So we don't quite know block is going to do except put out a great web page. But they own a bunch of stuff. It is true. They bought title they never really told anyone why they bought title. It is also true that a lot of music people are very excited about blockchain ideas. And NFT tickets to concerts are like already the thing that you can see happening because it's a big database and you can still tickets on it. But musicians are very excited because they're revenues on platforms like Spotify and Apple music are so low. So all kinds of artists are very you can see there's some swirl there. At the same time, David Marcus, who was in charge of Facebook's cryptocurrency project, just like bailed this week as well. It was called Libra. We have dunked on a thing called Libra many times on the show. But they changed the name to Novi. There has been 5 different changes in Eli. I swear to God, it's like meta the company formerly known as Novi, the crypto formally known as that was formerly known as that was formerly known as. I mean, it's literally like four revisions, but yeah, Novi know. So David Marcus leaves, he puts out a bunch of tweets that's like, I'm still really interested in this. In terms of the drama, we didn't know. It feels like are you just going to end up at block? The company wants to do this thing in a successful way that Facebook doesn't seem like it will ever get its head around. And then, on top of all of that, Mark Zuckerberg is on and on about the metaverse. And to me, the only compelling NFT story that I've heard is you will travel from virtual realm to virtual realm and your stuff will come with you because this already had like meta mask works. You have a Ethereum address, and then you can log into another website. It just reads the blockchain and all your stuff comes with you. And that's a core principle of the metaverse at this time. There's a swirl of stuff going on here that I with Facebook that I like kind of don't understand. They desperately need this to happen for their metaverse play to work. But they're one and only crypto initiative has been an epic disaster and a guy just left. I think a good question that I would like to see more reporting on and could presumably do it myself if I could route myself to the occasion is how much of the Facebook crypto failure is on David Marcus and leadership team and how much is on just the regulatory crap storm that they wandered into because people hate Facebook. I think the latter was definitely very real as they engage with regulators around the world..

"From NPR and WBUR I'm Peter O'Dowd in Phoenix and I'm Callum borchers in Boston it's here and now Jack Dorsey is out at Twitter Again the Twitter cofounder announced yesterday he is resigning from his second CEO And while Dorsey remained CEO of the payments company square his sudden departure from Twitter has many wondering did he go on his own Or was he forced out Let's bring in Vanity Fair correspondent Nick bilton He wrote the book hatching Twitter a true story of money power friendship and betrayal Welcome to here and now Thanks for having me You've been following Twitter since it's inception Do you see this resignation coming I did not see it coming and I don't think many people around Jack did You know Jack cofounded Twitter 16 years ago with three other people And really spent a lot of the early days of his career pushing two of them out so that he could remain in control of the company And it's really been like the TV show Succession over there for a long period of time And it's always been Jack trying to remain in control in some way And so for him to quote unquote resign abruptly right now I think shocking to a lot of people I think one of the reasons for that too is that he's been very resilient over his career and maybe if I had asked you this question a year ago Nicky wouldn't have been surprised but we know that he recently survived an ouster attempt led by activist investors So it seemed like maybe he was going to be in the clear but maybe we didn't really know what was going on behind the scenes so I wonder if you think that power struggle is ultimately what toppled him this time So there are a lot of people who I've spoken to this week who have said that Elliot management and investment firm that came in about 18 months ago and said hey look the way this company is being run is not working out They have about 1.2 billion in investment and Twitter They were upset that Jack Dorsey was running both square and Twitter at the same time He's the only CEO on the Fortune 500 It's running two public companies He just really wasn't focused on Twitter And you know they set out a few guidelines instead of these goals aren't met We're really going to push for a CEO change And Jack what seemingly happened was he was able to kind of fend them off But I think from the reporting I've done and what I've heard this week is that he knew that he wasn't going to be able to do that the next time And it was clear from the board being upset and some of the other investors that there was going to be pushback for Jack to eventually have to step down And so this was his way of doing it without being fired But for Jack to not only leave effective immediately yesterday as the CEO and to be leaving the board in May really says that this wasn't necessarily a choice that he wanted to make So let's go back a little bit because as I mentioned at the top this isn't the first time that he's had a run as the chief executive at Twitter And he was ousted and then he came back in 2015 and at that point he argued that he was really the only one who could run the company he had helped to start it after all You've written in your book that at least at the early days of the company he wasn't particularly good at managing a company sometimes folks have a brilliant technology idea but the management side of being a CEO escapes them Did that change in the intervening years though did he become the manager later on that he wasn't at the beginning You know what's interesting He I think a lot of founders in tech They have brilliant ideas and then they can't execute And it's more often than not that that's the case But there are these rarities There's the Jeff Bezos is in the Mark Zuckerberg's and the Steve Jobs And I think that with Jack it's kind of a little bit of both in the early days He was keeping you know the company's finances on the computer that he didn't even have the password to there's all these crazy stories of things that happened in the early days He really did not know what he was doing And I think that what has changed is that he kind of half knows what he's doing and he half doesn't you know square has been a perfect example of a company that he's been the leader of that has done incredibly well It's stock has jettisoned over the last few years It's had a rough year this year but it's you know it rose every year for the past 5 years With Twitter it was almost like he was frozen as a CEO because he was afraid to make any changes That product it has barely changed in 16 years You know if you look at the early days of Twitter and Twitter today it looks exactly the same If you look at Facebook in the beginning and today it's a completely different company But Twitter has not been that And so I just don't think that he was the right person to necessarily lead Twitter But I think he has become a pretty adept CEO when it comes to And it's very apparent that he is very strategic in the boardroom And that he was able to stave off being pushed out for this long I think you know definitely said something Well and to your point about square I think if you go by market cap it's something like two or three times more valuable than Twitter is even So is it possible Nick that he just developed other interests or things that he wants to spend more time on be it square be a cryptocurrency or perhaps just devoting time to a personal life that sometimes can get forgotten about when you're in the startup phase He's all over the world hanging out with Jay-Z and Beyoncé and people like that these days He's definitely hit that level of CEO I don't think it's that I think that you know I think Twitter is a very difficult company to run and I think you definitely need a specific mindset to do it And I think Jack always thought that you had to be a founder to do it And I actually think that it's a rare company where you don't where I think you need to come in with new ideas You know I think one of the things that I found really fascinating about his resignation letter was that it was almost as if he was bragging that you know he said you know after almost 16 years of having a role company from cofounder to CEO to chair to exec share to interim CEO to CEO it's finally time for me to leave That to me it's like if you've been there that long and the companies in the state attend it's clearly your fault You know it's not anyone else's fault And I think that the fact that he wasn't able to see that Even now when he's not necessarily leaving on his own accord I think is pretty telling about the state of Twitter and his role in it Well let's dig in that a little bit to the state of Twitter because one of the things that he and a lot of social media executives for that matter have struggled with in recent years is moderation particularly as it relates to the former president Donald Trump He initially started flagging Trump's tweets as misinformation eventually banning him from the platform How do you think Jack Dorsey felt about the direction Twitter was heading I don't think he felt anything about it I think he you know.

"Internal pessimism in regard to the business. That will have to wait and see. But those are some benchmarks to keep an eye on those user goals and that revenue goal, because as it stands right now, that's what the streets expecting. And so leadership is going to have to figure out a way to deliver. Last thing before we move on, you think back to let's just say January. Who are the CEOs of the big tech companies that occasionally get hauled in front of Congress to answer questions? And now we've got Jack Dorsey joining Jeff Bezos. In 2021 is saying, I don't think I'm going to do that anymore. Yeah. Well, I mean, I don't blame it, but it doesn't really look like a very enjoyable experience. And you add to that the fact that it does, I'm getting the vibe that a lot of those people in Congress don't quite know what they're talking about. They could be off base, but I'm just throwing it out there. Just in time for cyber Monday, Amazon executive Dave Clark said this morning on CNBC that his company is about to become the largest package delivery service in the United States. Passing both UPS and FedEx, if not by the end of this calendar year, then in early 2020, are you surprised by this? Because as an Amazon shareholder, who has watched them build up their delivery service over the past decade, I'm surprised at this. I don't know when I thought it was going to happen. I didn't think they were that close. I've started thinking about this more and more lately just because we have multiple Amazon packages delivered to my house on a daily basis. For whatever reason, there's always something being dropped off. My dogs can attest to it. What I've seen more and more respectfully, your dogs are not the one paying for that. No, no, they're not, but they say for whatever reason. It's like I'm pretty sure you and your spouse are the reason. They're the beneficiaries of some of those packages, but yes, you're right. They're not the ones forking over the bucks. But I think it strikes me that more and more of these delivery vehicles have that Amazon logo on them. I've noticed that. It's not to say we don't have FedEx and UPS stop and buy as well. But it's certainly the ratio has come far more to parity than it ever has been. So I'm not terribly surprised. I think to me with Amazon, the biggest risk for Amazon has always been ultimately not living up to what they say they want to be. In being the world's most customer centric company. So if they start getting the reputation of not being able to get stuff from point a to point B on the timeline that they promise, consumers will go elsewhere. There are more options out there now. I mean, ten years ago, Amazon was a little bit more of an only game in town sort of thing. But that's not the case today. You have other options. And so I think they saw that. I think a while back. Bezos has always been very, very forward in saying how scared he is of customers and the competition and customers always waking up the next day and choosing someone else..

And initially, this was really moving the stock at one point early this morning, shares of Twitter were up 11%. Now they're basically flat. There are a couple of things I want to get to, but let's start with, look, we're long-term investors, but let's start with the very short term movement of the stock. Because one way to read what happened was that everyone got very excited. And look, this has been pushed by some activist investors who were pushing for change. Not happy with what has happened with Twitter stock over the last few years. Initially, you could look at this and say, oh, great, we got the change we wanted. And then, and this is not a knock on parag agrawal. But one way to read what happened to the stock, or what is happening with the stock is that.

Next cloud and around 30 other EU companies have filed an antitrust complaint with the European Commission against Microsoft for bundling OneDrive and teams with windows as they used to say in portlandia, the dream of the 90s is alive in Europe. Quoting ZD net. Next cloud claims that by pushing consumers to sign up and hand over their data to Microsoft, the windows giant limits, consumer choice, and creates an unfair barrier for other companies offering competing services. Specifically, Microsoft has grown its EU market share to 66% while local providers market share declined from 26 to 16%. Microsoft has done this not by any technical advantage or sales benefits, but by heavily favoring its own products and services, self preferencing over other services. While self preferencing is not illegal per se under EU competition laws, if a company abuses its dominant market position, it can break the law. Next cloud states that Microsoft has outright blocked other cloud service vendors by leveraging its position as gatekeeper to extend its reach in neighboring markets, pushing users deeper into its ecosystems. Thus more specialized EU companies can't compete on merit as the key to success is not a good product, but the ability to distort competition and block market access. Next cloud is not the only company to make such complaints, slack has filed an antitrust complaint against Microsoft in the European Union about Microsoft's integrating teams with office. This case is now proceeding. So next cloud is asking the European Commission's directorate general for competition to prevent this kind of abusive behavior and keep the market competitive and fair for all players.

First they announced they would be open sourcing the development of bitcoin hardware wallet then they went even further with the announcement of tb. Not just a special project. Td is an actual new business. Division of square that sits alongside its seller cash app entitled divisions. Here's how jack. I described it squares. Creating a new business joining seller cash title focused on building an open developer platform with the sole goal of making it easy to create non-custodial permission list and decentralized financial services. Our primary focus is bitcoin. Its name is like our new bitcoin hardware wallet. We're going to do this completely. In the open open road map open development and open source mike.

From square crypto square doesn't give direction to square crypto only funding. They choose to work on l. d. k. And are doing an incredible job. Td we'll be focused on creating a platform. Business will open source our work along the way so when you read that. A lot of people noted that they sort of sounded like they wanted to build defy on top of bitcoin and mike brooks tweets around the announcement seemed to point in that direction. As well quote. I also believe that technology has always been a story of decentralisation from the printing press to the internet to bitcoin technology has the power to distribute power to the masses and unleash human potential for good. And i'm convinced. This is the next step. As jack said we're going to be biasing towards being open and transparent so we'll be sharing a lot more about our plans in the coming days and weeks we're also going to be thinking of ways to include the community in our planet so stay tuned well at the very end of last week. We got confirmation that they were indeed looking in that decentralized finance direction. Here's mike brooks threat about it from friday. There's been a lot of speculation about what. Td is an isn't over. The last few weeks or team has been determining what needs to be determined. We wanted to finally share direction. And we have some questions we believe.

This is the tweet thread. That's pinned to the top of their twitter. Why bisque many of you already know. Please share the spread with those who don't t. l. dr bisque is a paradigm shift biscuits to other exchanges. The way bitcoin is to banks. Why run your own bitcoin note. You already know. Trust no one sovereignty no asking permission. That's the whole point of bitcoin. No compromises so why compromise when trading bitcoin like bitcoin bisque is open source software. You don't trade on a website. You trade on a program on your computer directly with others on a peer to peer network. It's kind of like bittorrent but for bitcoin so also like bitcoin. When you run bisky become master of your own note on a peer to peer network except instead of validating blocks for the bitcoin network. You provide liquidity to the bisque network. Just like bitcoin enables you to be your own bank. Bisque allows you to be your own exchange. Once you see that the case for bisque is clear and it's hard to go back to anything else besides the folks who were pointing to a specific technology that they wanted the team at square to look into there. Were also a fair number of cynical takes particularly from other non. Bitcoin defy communities who found it somewhat annoying that bitcoin maxi's would spend years ripping on defy only to be into it when a bitcoin or wants to do it. Someone i think wrote defy on. Bitcoin is like an app store. Blackberry while i understand that frustration and genuinely wish that people would spend less time ripping on each other on twitter. I do think it's more intellectually coherent than many of those critics might think if your base is carrying about the nature of the underlying asset a global sound monetary system. And you have problems with how a theory or any other layer. One defied chain was created or as governed. That doesn't mean you wouldn't want the sort of decentralized financial rails on top of your sound money asset in general. It just means that you're not willing to sacrifice the principles of that asset at the center. Now there's a ton of debate there. I'm just saying that it's not actually intellectually inconsistent to be bitcoin only but still interested in defy. That happens on. Bitcoin either way the more interesting thing to me by a lot is the relevant context. We've just gone through this very fascinating process of watching the fight around the infrastructure. Bill happened where. It's very clear that certain parts of the us government are extraordinarily nervous about this decentralized non-custodial turn for finance. These tools are evolving. A hell of a lot faster than the regulators ability to actually wrap their heads around them. So it's to be interesting to see what happens when a large publicly traded company. Wades into the space for now. I think it's pretty awesome. That square is building. This and i think it's extra awesome that they're doing it as not just some sideshow but as a mean business division. I'm certainly going to be keeping a strong eye out on this one. And i anticipate that we'll have a lot more to discuss about it in the weeks to come for now guys. I appreciate your listening. And i hope your week is getting off to an awesome. Start until tomorrow be safe and take care of each other piece..

Two three billion comes from open opensky. An example of the mania came this weekend in the form of the board apes yacht club dropping a new set of mutant apes. Those mutiny made more than ninety million dollars in an hour and speaking of apes that community also got super jazzed when nba goats steph.

"Information overload Our Sean Hannity show last week Project Veritas. Had their undercover video at Jack Jack Dorsey, CEO of Twitter, and all this is just the beginning. We're focused on one account now, but we're going to be focused on everybody's accountant in the year to come. Well, is as he usually does. And as he promised, now, they have more information about Big Tech Twitter. Jack Dorsey. Ah, lot of the work that we've been doing over the last week is work we built on in other places. What does that mean? Especially since other big tech, you know, came to the rescue to silence their competitors. Their you know their competitors like parlor anyway, and it goes on. They have a Twitter legal policy trust. Safety lead. One of the interesting things is that a lot of the work that we've been doing over the last week and they go on from there is work we've built on another places around the world, and we've seen the violence unfold as a result of either mislaid leading information or coded rhetoric. And then a lot of the leanings here in the U. S have come from other markets. So in that sense You know, we do feel like it's our global approach. Let's play it. You aren't going to be Oh, cool, retro, they said, And I know it is going to take some time. You know, just killed close up way are focused on one account right now. But this is going to be money bigger. Just want to be. Oh, that's going to go on much longer.
