Lol the guy reduced the child pornography combat (don’t know how to say this exactly in English) team. How low can he sink?
You think this is a gotcha, but it's not. They weren't even doing their jobs effectively, and this has been a known issue with Twitter (as well as others like Twitch) for quite some time. Reduce ineffective sinks, and reinvest in a more effective models. Especially with abhorrent and illegal material.

I'm of the opinion of the gallows method for CP, personally.

Good lord your sucking off of Elon and his decisions in every post is some fine entertainment.

Due to only seeing it in anti-Western Russian propaganda is the reason I've been asking so often and holding off mentioning where I seent it until today.

The connection being made there between LGBQT+ to Altered Carbon(over the next hundred years) to end of civilization is something else in mental gymnastics, but at least it connects it.

Dude, you are literally an occult esoteric nutjob sectarian who believes in Thelemic magic, maybe you shouldn't complain about propaganda or lecture other people on the societal issues imposed by a militant cultish ideology like wokeness.

I'm not involved in any mechanisms for sectarianism. An accurate description would be Scientific Illuminism with my current particular focus on testing models of panpsychism.
Regardless...

since you seem to believe what you are saying perhaps you can explain in a clear way what and how 'woke mind virus controls entertainment leading to the suicide of civilization' in a better way. Especially how it gets to the end of civilization. What causes that? The only place that connected the word woke to end of civilization is with anti-Western propaganda from Russia that I've found. I'm looking for other sources.

On another topic. Just read musk is stopping the COVID-19 misinformation policies on twitter… and then will cry harder because companies are leaving the platform lol
Youtube already did that months ago. Where was the outcry?

Edit: I was wrong. It was mask misinformation that was removed.

The same guy who pointed this out also offered this suggestion: "Might be clever for Elon Musk to just copy/paste the old 2015 policy, and then when the cries of "fascist" inevitably rain down on him, simply ask if Twitter was institutionally fascist in 2015."

Amazing in such a short period of time, the insane shift of rational and logical to what we have today.

I'm not 51 and I'm not acting like a baby. I'm at least acting like a teenager.

The guy wants to remove covid misinformation policies, why? Freeeee speech which is just his usual excuse. The clown is the acceptable poster boy for right wing politics for some weird reason.
I mean, Joe Biden did say the pandemic was over.

I've discussed musk with you a few times in this thread. You don't seem to offer a rebuttal to his weird antics, but still seem to laud him as the greatest guy ever.
What rebuttal are you looking for? Internet edgy takes that we all do? Young and old? Especially if you grew up on the internet since its inception?

The guy is a masterclass shitposter. He has fuck you money to do so. This isn't revelating.

The guy was also adored until he displayed "wrong think," by the very people who now have those pitchforks out for him obsessed with his every tweet. The DS marketing machine is now in full throttle.

Twitter was no daycare. Any fascist claim would be wobbly but if there's one to be found it's possibly in the reasons things changed that had nothing to do with activists wanting a daycare. Easing off rules a bit at a time to reach the balance would be less alarming. But he does think it's the end of the world.

He reduced the child safety team down to an individual, while merely adding an option to explicitly report child sexual exploitation and prevented three hashtags from being used (this is in the article that the woman in the tweet is referring to - should read it). That's all.

Beware the grand claims of sycophants, and take a moment to think it through: there's no way he cleaned up his platform of this content and behavior while firing and/or losing half his employees and focusing on culture wars by adding a field to a form and blocking some hashtags. If he were truly taking real action he wouldn't have essentially rendered the team combating it ineffective. This is performative theatrics.

Again, someone makes an unsubstantiated claim, then points to how a policy existed seven years ago, and that is meant to make some kind of point? Processes are improved overtime. Here's their actual policy:

Maybe he is going to take a blanket lawful action (as it should be), rather than an ideological selective one that was running prior.

And that means allowing retards to spread lies should be allowed?

I'm not sure about this wrong think you are referring to but alot of his actions deserve the flak he gets. I've already typed out quite a list as to why he's a cunt.
But supporting Putin and sucking off the CCP because he has a vested interested there alone makes him a clown that shouldn't be taken seriously.

And his defenders comically believe his bullshit about not wanting a nuclear war because he wants to human race to endure for his makebelieve mars mission. The guy sucks up to autocrats, then again a certain demographic of the US population had a hard on for Putin when Obama was in charge too.

Here's the thing... That flak is never equally applied. It's only if you speak outside a certain narrative, and once you do, "public enemy" numero uno.

I see just as much stupid shit said by prominent players that tow the line, and they're never taken to task in the great curated marketing machine apparatus. It's either memory holed, and swept to the side.

The never-ending infallible purity test that is not so pure.

But all youre doing is complaining about the 'other side' and saying it's not fair etc while ignoring the discussion about musk by using the tried and tested russian method.

This topic is about musk not the looney left. You can discuss and call his bullshit out in a vacuum without crying about others.

So I'll ask you directly. Why do you continue to make excuses for a man that wants people to give up their freedom to multiple dictators; literally the opposite of what America stands for.

Musk's whole premise to buying Twitter was because of their loony left fiasco.

As for the giving up freedom to dictators? No, I do not support that, but again, ironic here in the America where those are decrying to give them up to the corporations or feds by proxy if it's their side in power.

How do you know they were taking ideological selective actions?

If you're not aware, platforms like Twitter typically work hand-in-hand with the relevant authorities and even third party advocate / activist groups, the kinds of groups that have been highlighted over the years by shows like Chris Hansen's old joint. They track these vile bastards and study their behavior so that the authorities can apprehend them and break up their circles. Similar to honey potting them.

It's awesome that he blocked the hashtags, it's something, but the probable consequences are that now the criminals will take the unsophisticated action of either using different hashtags, or choosing some new method of communicating their nefarious actions. And who will now be left on Twitter's end to track these inevitable shifts in behavior? The lone person left at Twitter in the child safety team?

I would feel a whole lot better if he had taken these actions without essentially eliminating the team that was attempting to thwart it.

Never removing that Desmond kid's videos for one. That shit would have been removed and CPS called prior to all this accelerated lunacy of "acceptance" angles targeting and promoting children the past 5+ years.

And I agree with you on the rest. I also don't believe we are getting all the information either as to why these actions were taken and where they are headed.

The systemic vitriol hurled at Musk is simply out of this world. It pretty much validates all the problems he tries to highlight.

a) Either Twitter is not important for public opinion making, then there's really no reason for the press to care that much about him wasting 44 billion dollars.
b) Or Twitter is an ideological and political echo chamber capable of influencing elections and societal trends and the establishment media is freaking out about Musk countering the narrative.

We all know there is more at stake than some bimbo billionaire buying a new toy to play with. I really don't care about Elon's ego, but he outright says what many people have suspected and warned about all these years. Us humble peasants can only win from this situation, doesn't matter if Twitter floats or goes under, we will be the wiser. I've been wanting to know for a long time now about what is going on behind the curtains at these tech companies. No matter what, Elon will bring some transparency into this. That is why he is putting all this stuff out there.

We've really come a long way if "free speech" has been turned into a dirty word by the ideological concern trolls. First we have to maintain free speech, then we have to sort all other issues in relation to it. There is no other way round!

Also there is this interesting analysis by Gad Saad:



He maintains the opinion that Musk is engaging in "costly signaling" versus "virtue signaling".

Supporting free speech isn't right wing. Ask the citizens of China and Russia if they feel free to disagree with what their government has decided is the truth. Are you suggesting that China and Russia are left wing? When the people on the right are in power, the authoritarians among them will always try to silence the left, and vise versa.

As I've said before, supporting free speech isn't right wing and it isn't left wing. Please stop polarizing free speech.
