    Sunlight is the best sanitizer. I rather their speech be out there for the world to see, so that I know who to avoid and for the ones that are misinformed for the broader public to put the on the right path.

    Yeah, but I don't want my product associated with that speech. You can't force me to put my product on a pro nazi platform. Add to that the algorithm pushing nazi propaganda on Twitter, then no public company with a duty to the shareholders should advertise on Twitter.

    People do seem to be rather hysterical nowadays, don't they.

    That was proven to be false information from Media Matters. They had to game the system to get advertising to show up beside nazi feeds. The average person using X isn’t going to see that besides ads and you as an individual using X can block content that you don’t want to see, what you don’t get to do is decide what other choose to and not the see.

    It has not been proven to be false information. The only ones saying that are Xitter, Musk, and the right wing echo chambers. So, the only proof consists of Xitter saying they didn't do it, much like the toddler caught with chocolate on their face saying they didn't eat the chocolate.

    It doesn't matter if the average person will see it or not. What matters is that it can be seen, as shown and described by Medusa matters, at all. What part of that don't you get?

    It’s impossible to fully prevent the issue so the only thing you can hope for is that must people don’t see this. These companies don’t really care it’s just some woke agenda that whey to be pushed/enforced and if you play ball they won’t care, Before Elon there was a bunch of CP on twitter that went unchecked and they didn’t care. So, why are they not pulling ads from Instagram and Facebook, both of which have people policing the platform, which arguably has smaller or more of the same things that they claim to have issue

    Unless Twitter actively prevents people from seeing Musk's tweets, it's going be pretty hard to convince people that their content isn't showing up with antisemitic content lmao. Musk has, once more, gloriously fucked himself over. Who knows when he'll say something antisemitic again, and it'll be a recommended tweet since he made it?

    The last time I checked if you don’t want to follow someone as an individual it’s within your right to block them. You don’t need a centralized company blocking something from everyone that you don’t like.
