Really?? Someone actually does that? Wow. I’m. Wow. Speechless.

Fine. But half of them are self-quotes. Formatted like this:

“Blah, blah, blah. Yada-yada-yada,” — My Name Goes Here.

Why not simply say that, without quote marks or your name, in a tweet? If it’s good, people will retweet it. Quoting yourself is the height of egomania.

Gianna, that sounds unfair, for sure.

Have you tried using the Wayback Machine to locate and remove anything you think is getting in the way?

What does a political writer do, for instance? Under Big Tech rules, they could lose rights to travel or even work based on wrongthink or some AI crawler digging up a comment from 20 years ago to their Aunt Tilda. And the standards could affect anyone for the smallest misinterpretation.
