MODERATORS
I like how he's saying he'll sue Media Matters for supposedly lying about him endorsing the antisemitic Tweet. Because the discovery phase when they show that he did, in fact, endorse the antisemitic Tweet will be glorious.
I’ve got this 44 ct box of popcorn from Costco all set to go.
Any judge who's not in the tank for Elon is going to throw that case out before your microwave beeps
For real. This lawsuit SLAPPs hard.
I’m hoping they’ll feign interest and attentively listen to his free speech long enough to have plenty of material/ammunition to quote his rhetoric as a frivolous waste of time, and slam his ass in the ruling so he’s too embarrassed to appeal. Just one bag’s worth at least.
If he does appeal, I still have plenty of popcorn left.
Pace yourself, there's like a stick of butter in each bag.
Hell yeah! Wait, no, I meant to say “that’s all?”
I live in the land of Spam, my arteries will suffer one way or another.
Why aren't there mass bans on these people?
Well, you see, one of the primary offenders went and bought the platform. And, like, everyone else just let him because money.
Even in pre-Elon 2019 days, Twitter themselves confirmed that moderation over racism would ban conservative leadership.
But without question Elon has taken off rail guards In regards to this so now we have arrived at our very foreseeable outcome.
Which is absolutely unsurprising and shitty they had to treat them with kid gloves
Not just let him. Forced him to buy it. He was fucking around and made a joke offer and the court decided we they really, really wanted him to own Twitter so badly they would require him to buy it.
See, he should have remembered he was an idiot fucking around before he signed a legally binding contract that he would do it. At that point the Twitter execs were bound to force the deal through, because they were obligated to maximize shareholder profits, and let's face it, there was never going to be another overpriced offer like that again.
I bet his lawyers are getting very, very tired with him.
It's doing pretty well here on Lemmy and also on the streets.
Do you have an exmple?
What i have seen was lots of israel critics but no antisemism that wasn't havely downvoted
They don't mean antisemitism.
They mean criticism of Israel.
The Jewish people I've known have been lovely, like, exceptionally so, and I'm sure that overall they're no better or worse than any other large group of people.
Israel can go eat shit though.
Does anyone else hate the two-full-sentence headlines? They give me real "top ten youtubers... who've SWORN" headline vibes
The sad thing is, they use it because it works. It gets more attention and clicks than other headlines. It’s like why YouTubers do the whole “Like and subscribe!” spiel - their analytics tell them they get more like and subscribes when they say it vs when they don’t.
