@Sternness3985 That was my first thought as well, although he at least pretends he will pay those, which is more than he is doing for his former staff.
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/
But it's not just children that #ElonMusk attacks and abuses. #Elon is also threatening to sue nonprofit organisations who combat #HateSpeech, when they (accurately) reported that #Twitter X no longer stops #hate speech on their website. Looks like once again Elon's claims of free speech are only for #nazis on Twitter. Oh, and also pedophiles, apparently. https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-66365968
@lpah4all Totally agree. This is why reality tv is so popular; people love to watch those dumpster fires, because it makes them feel better about themselves. It's a sad situation, for sure.
@kierkegaank Yeah, hopefully they get good jobs when he tanks those companies as well. Fortunately for them, unlike Elon, they all have skills and are productive members of society.
@kkarhan No, and at this point I expect Twitter to collapse entirely from a number of different issues all competing with each other for the killing blow. I doubt it will be long before it follows Friendster.
@jtb@Twiglet No, that law is an example of a hate crime. It is targeted against gay people, censoring them only. And it is not worried about protecting children, only keeping gay people hidden from society. It is purely bigotry. Like I said, most censorship is bad, apart from censoring people who are spreading hate. This is using censorship to spread hate, so is clearly the exact opposite.
@skye True, but when you used to report nazi propaganda, Twitter would remove it, and eventually ban the nazi. Now nothing happens, except that you get a report saying that it didn't break Twitter rules, when a nazi suggests burning all the Jews alive or something similarly heinous.
