I try not to say "I can't believe people are still on X" thing because people have different reasons for things that I don't know but "by using this application you may completely incidentally encounter CSAM in a way that you are technically criminally liable for" feels like a big Moment to Consider

There honestly cannot be a satire cutting enough to make fun of Americans. What the fuck do you mean the highest colonial ideal you could imagine was a parking lot with McDonald's on both sides

theres so much horrible shit about the murder of renee good, but there is something deeply terrifying about the way everyone from media to politicians have erased her wife from the story. ive seen far more mention of her late husband than her wife who was sitting next to her when she was murdered

The main point here is that you should leave Twitter, but I also find it weird that, oh I dunno, companies like Visa and Mastercard don't find this kind of thing to be damaging to their brand.
Hours after an ICE agent killed Renee Nicole Good, Elon Musk’s chatbot was undressing her.
"What other wardrobe malfunctions can I fix for you?" Grok said to the account that requested the deepfake, adding a grinning emoji.

You can pay for Twitter premium with your credit card and use grok to generate child porn and the credit card ppl who bullied patreon into banning CNC cartoons seem fine with it.

A woman whose idea of crushing poverty is "You live in a huge house in the country and your dad has a cushy government job which pays more than well enough to comfortably support a wife and eight kids, but sometimes you have to wear your older brother's hand-me-down shirts"
Rowling came from wealth. Her rags to riches story is also a myth. There are whole video essays out there debunking it. She was never "poor" in the way that actually poor people experience poverty. She had a wealthy person's social safety net (friends and family would just give her money.)

Hello Tim Cook I worked at Tumblr when you gave us 48 hours to get rid of all the consenting, adult boobs. Up all night at your whim, out of the blue. But you're still cool with Twitter and its CSAM and revenge porn and whatever the fuck this is? Why do you even HAVE guidelines?
Previously, several of these companies, like Apple, IBM, and Disney, have paused advertising on X in response to antisemitic content. But antisemitism on X never slowed, sexual abuse imagery increased, and all of these companies quietly resumed advertising anyways.

Why isn't there a bigger Grok boycott?
Advertisers, politicians, and investors are still all-in on X, despite a sexual abuse crisis.

there needs to be a sex offender registry but for ice guys. you should have to go door to door when you move to a new area and inform your neighbors that you used to be an ice guy. they shouldn't be allowed with 500 feet of a school

Abolish ICE.
Put every single person on the payroll, from the administration on down, on trial.
These are crimes against humanity. "Just following orders" wasn't an acceptable defense at Nuremberg, and it's unacceptable now.

and the fact that it wasn’t pulled immediately after the grok CSAM incident says everything you need to know about the way “protecting children” is used as a justification for anything else. it’s never really about that at all. it’s all just power & capital.
Honestly think that if you pulled twitter from the App Store and shut it down it would fuck up the entire right wing ecosystem at that point. Like the entire media apparatus would fall apart.

people stay there BECAUSE their favorite accounts/creators stay there. if there's nothing left there except nazis and bots, not even the nazis would want to stay there. that's why they try invading other communities, they hate spending time with each other
leaving Twitter *does* make an impact. Even in better times that site's power users made up a tiny fraction. w/ each exodus, esp creatives leaving, the nazi bot slop becomes harder to avoid until its all thats left. its vital role in culture has eroded past a point of no return BECAUSE we're leaving

So let me get this straight: if you fail to comply with ICE, even if they have no jurisdiction over you, they have the right to treat this as a capital offence.
But if you’re a billionaire providing pedophiles with a tool to create a bottomless CSAM buffet, there are no legal consequences?

"Grok’s website and app include sophisticated video generation that is not available on X and is being used to produce extremely graphic, sometimes violent, sexual imagery of adults [and minors] that is vastly more explicit than images created by Grok on X."
Grok Is Generating Sexual Content Far More Graphic Than What's on X
A WIRED review of outputs hosted on Grok’s official website shows it’s being used to create violent sexual images and videos, as well as content that includes apparent minors.
