I see that the latest #ElonMusk insanity is that #Twitter X is fine with people posting #CSAM (kiddie porn). I really don't understand how #Elon thinks that his business model of being the most vile cesspool on the internet is going to be financially lucrative. Elon reinstated the account of a person who was banned for posting child porn, and is allowing the new videos of adults raping children to proliferate. Think about that. Even 4chan doesn't allow that. https://www.techdirt.com/2023/08/01/legal-subreddit-bans-all-ex-twitter-links-due-to-safety-risk/

There's plenty of things everyone wishes tech could do but it can't, and #WantingItBadlyIsntEnough. Merely shouting #NerdHarder at geeks won't actually get you what you want. And while I'm rattling off cliches: a little knowledge is a dangerous thing.
