Quite incredible.
I mean, other issues certainly exist, are they quite as serious as CSAM in the immediate term though?

He did say Apple & Google should remove it from app stores.
He also said the Govt wouldn’t give “kneejerk” response by immediately coming off X, saying other platforms have issues too.
I interjected to say those other platforms don’t generate CSAM.
He accepts that but said other issues exist.

Very defensive lad, wonder can he simply show evidence of him doing something productive here as opposed to getting snippy.
Minister for Communications and Media Patrick O'Donovan has hit back at claims that Ireland is lax about regulating companies like X because of the high levels of corporation tax we receive from tech firms.

Oh wow. Trump got a hand-me-down Nobel Peace Prize! Did you know:
It would not be the first time a Nobel laureate has given his or her medal away: in 1943 Nobel Literature laureate Knut Hamsun gave his medal to Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels.

Her MO seems to be to take the opposite contrarian opinion to the prevailing one, for clicks. She could possibly be that thick, or could be just an amoral wanker for kicks. Who can really tell.

I don't think she's a clown, she's worse that a clown who might have some defence of being silly. Supporting a platform creating clearly illigal sexualised images of children and non-consensual sexualised images of women goes beyond being a clown:

It's been said before, but starving him of his media oxygen is probably the best course of action for The Biggest Loser™. Let the courts deal with him, he was let out to prepare his case, he said he'd go back to the school. Release should have been cancelled on those grounds in the first place.

Leavitt: Why was she killed?
Reporter: Because an ICE agent acted recklessly and killed her unjustifiably
