    Which was the purpose of Elon Musk buying it all along.
    The algorithms are fucking designed specifically for that purpose!

    The fact that ppl still use that fascist platform is beyond me. Where is the boycott?

    Is it a coincidence that X is also the epicenter of corporate-funded CSAM generation?

    (BTW the byline on this post, "Facebook, Instagram and YouTube being no better", is not backed by the Gizmodo article)

    Pretty sure you had to tie a phone number to an account for years now...

    Everyone that interacts with that stuff, Elmo knows.

    Imagine getting a phone call from a bot one day going over all the worst shit you've done on the internet and saying if you don't do x/y/z then it'll release your history to everyone you know.

    It's a large scale Epstein style blackmail ring on average people.

    Which doesn't sound that scary till you realize they know everything about these, where they live, who they work for, who their neighbors are, what picks up kids from the same school.

    There's no indication it's happening yet, but does anyone think Elmo is above it? Hell, he could be DMing people saying they have to vote Republican or he releases their Twitter history.

    There’s a surprising number of very stubborn and slightly delusional (they’ve convinced themselves they’re doing good by staying on Xitter and “fighting”) leftists on there unfortunately.

    I thought the Nazi salute would be the nail in the coffin but apparently those people can’t comprehend social media isn’t just a space like the person who owns it literally can control everything and easily manipulate you.

    I get recommendations pushing towards conservative media in you tube all the time and i have my recommendations off. It's hilarious to be looking for writing advice and getting some woman giving thinly veiled fascism in her writing channel.
