“Look at all the data!” ol’ Musk shouts as he gets distracted to retweet a post about how unfair it is that white people can’t have a “white people only” club.
Twitter was doing just fine in this regard, the only difference is phony stark and his quest against moderation (unless the topic is about himself, then and only then are fact checking and censorship acceptable apparently.
Simply put, Elon and friends have made a space for hate deliberately. “Efforts” to stop hate isn’t good enough, especially when you literally were handed the goddamn solution and the first thing down was kill moderation teams and the like.
Fuck these bad faith capitalist pigs who can’t get fascism’s orange dick out their mouth
I like the data they had to release under new EU regulations so far. For example, they have a single employee that speaks my native language, which is sixth most-spoken among languages of the European Union. It definitely shows when trying to report things like “kill yourself” posts, which apparently is OK with both Twitter terms of service and local law (that one came as surprise to me and would probably surprise lawyers as well).
They can’t ignore reports and have to allow at least one follow-up dispute per EU regulations. Unfortunately there’s no dedicated government office here for escalating it further (unlike Germany for example) but I imagine giving Digital Services Act more teeth will come with time.
With hate posts it is the same as with rats. The more that you can obviously see, the more rats are hiding in that area. If you happen to meet a rat in the open, broad daylight, you can assume a population of at least 5000. So if people can obviously see well-known companies’ ads next to nazi content, how much nazi content must be hiding in there?

Is she going to “release the kraken” like Sidney Powell did?
It’s all about pleasing the inverstors, shareholders and advertisers. The users are just the product that is being sold.

Yeah, they really fucked up with the automated messages saying something doesn’t violate the rules.
Because that’s a paper trail that twitter looked at something and decided not to remove it.
They’d be covering their own ass better if those didn’t get sent, at least they could pretend they hadn’t looked at it yet and kept it a grey area

Does it really matter what internal effort there is to battle hate when the celebrity owner is publically boosting it himself?
