Huge swathes of our elites stewing in there with Nazis and tying themselves in knots over obviously bad things. All because they're addicted to counting 'likes' and notifications and watching people be rude to each other online. Never thought the end of liberalism would look quite so pathetic

I very genuinely think answering this question is obscenely important. Even if it's something as boring as 'Musk can threaten consequences, particularly through Trump / US, if they shut it down'.

If a website appeared overnight that gave hundreds of millions of users the opportunity to create CSAM you'd expect governments to shut it down quickly, so the question is why X gets a pass when it's done just that?
