Twitter should have an obligation to be upfront about which side of the political spectrum the content will trend towards

Matter of opinion. They aren't legally obligated to do so.

Why is it that conservatives have no problem letting people know they are conservative but liberals are more evasive about stating their political leaning?

Is this based on objective fact or a personal observation subject to bias?

How exactly is that egregious?

Believing that a private platform counts as a "digital town square" and further believing content moderation is equivalent to the government infringing upon free speech.

The difference is that Truth Social is upfront about the fact that they are right wing

That is a stretch. Truth Social's own homepage states, " Truth Social is America's "Big Tent" social media platform that encourages... honest global conversation without discriminating against political ideology." Yet they push right-wing content as a requirement after signing up for the platform. I don't personally care one way or another, but if you're going to be mad at a platform for being partisan at least be consistent.

Why do you assume twitter has any obligation to be politically neutral? This is the most hilarious thing to me - the right consistently has the most egregious views on what constitutes "free speech" and where those boundaries end. Try logging onto Truth Social and seeing the "suggested" accounts you are required to follow after making your account - Trump, Trump Jr., GOP leaders, etc. Where's your outrage about that?

Keep in mind that as a zombie computer becomes more "obvious"- computer is slower, fan runs at 100% all the time, etc, the more likely that the malware will be noticed and removed.

I was mining Litecoins this morning and even though my computer was relatively quiet (mining with GPU) compared to fans at 100%, etc, it was still painfully slow. When I hovered over a link it would take a second to change colors. Literally a second. The user would probably notice that too. Though it wasn't laggy when I was mining Bitcoins so...who knows.

My point of posting that was to show how much bitcoins are worth. Of course the "important aspect" is how much value they retain, how do you think I came up with 266 BTC?! And of course BTC value is on the rise, with bitcoins being harder to mine everyday, with that 21,000,000 bitcoins upward limit. If it were " 26.6 trillion deca-nano" bitcoins stolen, I'd say that right?! But no, I said 266 with the presumed decimal point after the second "6", that everyone else seemed to understand. I also said "approximately" because the value is not exact, and this number changes every second of every hour of every day, etc, etc. Your post was absolutely pointless and you shouldn't have even bothered posting it, you typing it and me replying to it is just a waste of time for the both of us, no offense...

So most of the people working at Walmart aren't supporting a family and are getting economic aid from their parents? Or McDonalds? Bullshit. When a company doesn't pay its workers enough they can't even afford to buy products at their own workplace, it damages local economy as well as on the big scale. Think about it. Economic growth is when people are spending money. That's what the 1920's were like. When there is a recession not many people are spending money and most are just sitting on it, waiting for something to happen. People spending makes businesses want and need to expand to make more products, thus economic growth. Not to mention the people at the top are walking away with billions when their workers can't even afford to feed their own family.
