      I’m not sure if it qualifies, but I think so, the article is meant to expose that the rules of X do not prevent pro Nazi content.
      And I suppose the point is for the readers to reach the obvious conclusion and answer the question themselves, that it’s because X is run by a Nazi.

          Well for one denial of holocaust is illegal in many countries. Often under wider rules that falsification of historical facts is illegal.

          EU should ban Xitter, because it’s a channel for history falsification and hate speech.

              A law to prevent spreading false history may sound good but I fear it’s not a good solution. In bad hands the law can instead can attack history to promote a false one. If an inconvenient truth happens to looks like the dribble that comes out of a Holocaust denier when took at face value then good hands may punish an otherwise good person, thus promoting a different pseudo history.

              I’m convinced I cannot trust anyone to judge - for me - what I should be able to read/hear. There must be better ways to defeat Nazism ideology.

              If you are in USA, I seriously wish so too, because the latrine that is the debate in USA is flowing over to the rest of the world.

          Deleted twitter at least 10 years ago. I assume it’s become a lot worse but is the vast majority of it really pro Nazi?

            That’s what I hear. I deleted my Twitter many years ago, too. Although, it was still pretty bad then

    I have added Elon to my block keywords, but lately the circlejerk had somehow seeped its way out onto my feed.

    Could anyone share other blocked terms they find effective?

    Because pro-Hitler, Holocaust-denying content aligns with the platforms ownership and doesn’t receive an appropriate response from a user base who learned about aliens on History and history on Fox News entertainment.

    It might seem trivial, but this stupid headline points to one reason Republicans have been winning. Everyone (notably journalists) still feels the need to “play the game” as they’ve always known it.

    Oh, Candidate A said something? The game rules say you now have to run a quote in response from Candidate B.

    But when Candidate B is an openly corrupt, lying, fascist, rapist shitpile who can’t make it to the potty in time and is in the pocket of Russia, maybe take the fucking gloves off at some point and stop pretending you can or SHOULD be impartial. Here, watch:

      You can and should have spicy reporting while remaining impartial. It takes more work to drum up the evidence, but that’s what separates good reporting from great reporting.

      Because they’re scared. Print that, get buried in lawsuits by the richest edge lord in history.

      You have to be smarter than this and actually defund his backers. Make it incredibly hard for them to be associated with him. Show him as a losing proposition.

      As long as he’s winning, people are buying Tesla’s, the US is financing public money into space X, and multinationals are active and paying for Twitter then nothing is going to change.

        This can’t be the whole truth, though. What ivanafterall is describing is true for essentially the whole western world. Media (or at least high-brow media) feel they need to be respectable, and to be respectable you have to be perfectly neutral. Not just in America did established media feel the need trivialise Musk’s obvious Hitler salute, this happened all over. I follow Dutch and German media, and haven’t seen a mainline newspaper call it what it was.

    The ad paid money to the platform, and said platform has been increasingly permissive with hate, anger, and public opinion manipulation since Musk bought it.
