They're collecting ad data on you. This is how they make money.You can literally use Twitter through a browser window on your phone. There is no need to develop his own app store.
You can collect more, better data, if you can get people to install an app.
I don't consider myself conservative either, but here I am on this site hanging with conservatives because the lefties I used to be friends with have all decided I'm a racist, fascist, nazi conspiracy theorist.I recently tried to talk with people saying that Musk is far right and "possibly outright white supremacist".
I mentioned that Musk is obviously centrist, he even supports DeSantis over Trump (I was not even defending trumpism or alternative right).
They now assure me that DeSantis is also just a fascist, and in fact... half of people in the United States just love fascism. My question if beating these fascists ("direct action") is justifable under their framework, and if they truly understand consequences of such wide definition... remains without answer.
...I'm not even Conservative, I'm mostly in-between neoliberal and libertarian, but now like 60 people dogpile on me suggesting that I'm probably a fascist. Psychology of a mob.
